Concordes Primary Logo

The Montreal Concordes, one of the most storied franchises in Canadian Football League history, has had a long and varied logo history. From their inception in 1974 until their final season in 1987, the team used a variety of logos to represent them on uniforms and merchandise. The primary logo for this period was an iconic design that featured two crossed swords pointing upwards with red maple leaves at each end. This classic emblem has become synonymous with the franchise’s legacy as it is still seen today on various items associated with Montreal football cultures such as hats and t-shirts.

The original design dates back to 1975 when it first appeared on game programs and other materials related to the team's inaugural season. The colors chosen were red, white & blue which represented Canada while also paying homage to French roots - both nationalities are represented by flags flown during home games that feature prominently throughout Stade Molson Stadium (formerly known as Olympic Stadium). It was not until 1977 however that this emblem became officially recognized by CFL teams across North America when they adopted it into their official league crest; thus making its way onto all jerseys worn throughout competition play from then onwards up until the present day (albeit slightly modified over time).

In addition to being used extensively within league play itself; this particular logo has been immortalized through memorabilia produced over decades since its introduction - ranging from trading cards featuring players wearing these designs right down even further to collectible pins or stickers commemorating specific milestones achieved during any given year! Furthermore due largely thanks again due partly thanks again too much wider recognition gained via media exposure (TV broadcasts etc) many fans worldwide now recognize what can only be described simply yet accurately: “the famous crossed swords” symbolizing strength courage & pride – something that every single person involved past present future should strive towards whenever representing our beloved city!
