Represented in the logo and brand are:
Vancouver’s mountains that overlook our city: The peaks that make up Cypress (Mount Strachan, Black Mountain, and Hollyburn Mountain); Grouse Mountain; and Mount Seymour
A rising sun to bring connection to our beautiful BC province and the stars that will shine for the club. With six rays to highlight the six founding NSL clubs.
The shield like shape symbolizes the sense of unity and tradition, with a rising V to represent the journey of the players, who continuously push themselves to new heights, overcoming challenges and striving for excellence on and off the field.
The colours represent the natural beauty of BC (teal), our beautiful summer sunsets where the coast meets the mountains (gold), and the depths of the Pacific Ocean and its underlying strength (black).
