THE NEW CPL LOGO IS HERE‼️
A big refresh ahead of season 8, with a very clean, Canadian red-and-white look.
I’m happy they’ve stuck with the North Star/maple leaf symbol, and didn’t change it too much.
What do you think of the new logo?

FRANK STURING IS STAYING IN TORONTO!
The Dutch defender re-ups through 2026 for a third year at Inter.
One of the best ballplaying CBs in the CPL imo. Fantastic defender.

A lot of players have signed abroad, leaving a ton of open room at the back end of the big board.
Some new names are on the list, but the top has almost no change.

The immensely talented Belgian winger has joined Inter Toronto on a 1-year deal.
This comes after finally leaving Forge following a contract dispute for all of 2025.
Was not expecting to see this news today.

This CPL offseason reminds me a lot of recent NBA offseasons.
Because the older or more experienced guys are the ones making waves. Didic/Choiniere/Ingham/Carducci are kinda the CPL's version of Durant/Harden/CP3 etc.
We're in a great place with these legends still at the top.

🐎🚨 AMER DIDIC SIGNS FOR CAVALRY!!
Another HUGE domino of the offseason falls. Arguably the CPL’s most storied defender is heading home to Alberta on a 2+1 deal.
Didic was injured most of 2025 - no doubt he’ll be hungry to bounce back.

The fourth signing in FC Supra history is Abou Sissoko. 3-time North Star Cup winner, veteran of 120 #CanPL games (regular season + playoffs), this is a fantastic signing.
