When I went in the summer, there was a small section in their store dedicated to Cavalry merch. They also usually have some merch at their member events.

I think Cavalry away is the far right one, and Cavalry home is the red one in the middle (between white and purple). The one second from the right is probably Valour, as they are burgundy.

It sounds better when it is organic. Singing as Ultras can sound super contrived, especially when the numbers are small.

I'm pretty amazed that we are a few hours away from the release event, and next to nothing has leaked, not even colours (though I think you're right on which two are the Cavs), or the kit sponsor.

Never mind, I think they just leaked the home jersey! WestJet appears to be the sponsor.

####ing hell, it's not like there was a big nationwide event that revolved around the unveiling of the kits, including a big watch party at Kildare's for Cavalry supporters.

(Not you Thunderball, someone DM'd the supporters account to show me before your post)

Also, it's bad ass.

^ I like them! I plunked down a bit more and bought tickets to the away games in Edmonton. I am really hoping this league is successful and gives a good experience for the fans.

At least the away kit still has some mystery. Judging from the strips leaked by CanPL yesterday, it looks like it'll be a lot more unique.

This one is nice and clean, but isn't exactly unique. I don't love the asymmetry and the fact that it looks quite a bit like the Canadian NT kit circa 2017. I do like the simplicity, colours and integration of the sponsor.

I'm assuming the sash is going to have some history to the Canadian Western Cavalry uniform for pre-WW1

Absolutely, the troops at the launch party were dressed similarly with the white sash as well.

Its certainly not a bad look, just not my favourite on a kit.

Have they decided on the club's mnemonic (intials?)? Or whatever you would call the short-form of the team. Like how Tottenham is THFC.

Quite like the red kit, really sharp. The green with camo seems lame but is the team identity so oh well. Not loving the tramp stamp.

At the kit reveal everyone seemed very pleased with them, although the horseshoe on the back wasn’t as popular. Still really love them both

Think the green kits were actually preferred to the red ones at the kit reveal, but I like both. Not huge on the camo for the away kit, but it's subtle enough in person that it looks good. The tramp stamp though...hmmm...

I also really like Edmonton's white away kit (ugh), Valour's away kit, and Pacific's home kit.

Also, to anyone who wants to purchase one, Macron tends to fit tighter, so just a heads up. I'm 5'6" and a medium fits me perfectly. Usually I am a small.

I like that red kit a lot.

For me the Pacific fc solid purple jersey is incredibly ugly. Who is gonna rock a solid purple shiny shirt anywhere but at a game? I guess it works for the viola
