Oct 8, 2024 | 4:44 PM

MONTREAL — Montreal’s Northern Super League team will be known as Roses FC.

The women’s professional soccer franchise unveiled the team’s name and logo on Tuesday night, projecting the new emblem and the club’s blue, red and gold colours around an event space near the city’s Old Port.

The team crest features a blue rose with “ROSES,” “MTL” and “FC” in gold lettering above it. The font draws inspiration from the city’s “Farine Five Roses” landmark on the edge of the Lachine Canal.

Club executives say the team will also go by “Montreal Roses” in English and “Les Roses de Montréal” in French.

Montreal was the league’s last founding franchise to reveal its branding. Roses FC joins Vancouver Rise FC, Ottawa Rapid FC, Halifax Tides FC, Calgary Wild FC and AFC Toronto.
