Meaning and history
Vancouver Whitecaps FC is a Canadian professional soccer team established in Vancouver in late 2000. However, the club has a rather long prehistory, because the first team with this name was formed in 1973 and was part of the North American Soccer League, which ceased to exist in 1985. Today Vancouver Whitecaps shows good results in such championships as Major League Soccer and Canadian Championship.
So, Originally a soccer club called the Vancouver Whitecaps was established on December 11, 1973, however, the league in which the club played was closed in 1985, so the team ceased to exist.
A year later, Vancouver re-established a professional soccer team, this time named the Vancouver 86ers, in honor of the founding year, 1986, and thanks to the 86 members of the community who founded the club, and to commemorate the year the city of Vancouver was founded (1886).
On October 26, 2000, after widespread public support, the 86ers officially changed their name back to the Whitecaps. And the FC acronym was added to the name another three years later. The Vancouver Whitecaps FC played in various leagues such as the A-League and USL-1 over the years until they officially joined MLS in 2011.
As of the start of 2025, the Vancouver Whitecaps have no championship titles in Major League Soccer, however, the club is performing well in the national championship called Canadian Championship, founded in 2008.
2010 – Today
The Vancouver Whitecaps logo was designed in 2010, a few months after the club’s foundation, and one year before the club joined Major Soccer League. The team’s badge in blue and white is sharp and minimalist, it perfectly reflects the club’s name and shows it as a professional and dedicated one.
The Vancouver Whitecaps logo is composed of three narrowed rhombuses, which are located the following way: two of them are placed in one horizontal line, corner-to-corner, and the third one is enlarged and overlaps them.
All three figures feature a deep blue background and a thick outline, which is white in its upper half and light blue in the bottom one. This is how the Whitecaps depict their name. The fridge part of the framing reminds of the sharp snow peaks, evoking a cool and fresh feeling.
The “Vancouver Whitecaps FC” wordmark in white is set in three levels and placed across the geometric badge, in its central line. The inscription boasts a clean and bold geometric sans-serif typeface, which looks modern and very confident.
