As we pay tribute to her goals and advocacy, we at Forty-One celebrate the iconic looks and fits of Alex Morgan throughout her 16 year career, as a part of a new column we call Kits to Fits.

ON THE PITCH

The name and branding for Montreal's Northern Super League Professional Club are unveiled.

Women’s professional soccer continues to grow in the CONCACAF region as The Roses de Montréal, Montreal's professional women's soccer team, formally unveiled its name and brand. The final inaugural club in The Northern Super League, Canada’s new professional Women’s league, finally has a name and brand.

The rosette in the official Montreal logo served as a direct inspiration for the name ROSES. The almost legendary blue rose conjures up images of realizing your greatest dreams and accomplishing what appears to be unattainable. It echoes the hue of the fleurdelisé and calls back to the artistic character of the city.
