  • Inside liner has been eliminated.
  • Three inside horizontal lines are now straight instead of staggered.
  • Shortened tail on the Swhich is now equally balanced with the top.
  • Silver has been replaced with white.

"The timing was right for us to refresh and update our logo as we begin a new jersey partnership with adidas, and prepare to move into new Mosaic Stadium," saidRiders vice-president of business development and marketingGregg Sauter.

"While the changes are subtle, the logo more accurately reflects our official colour scheme with a clean and modern feel, while still maintaining the iconic image."

"Our goal was to evolve the logo in such a way that it becomes more vibrant with a distinct focus on the green and white,"Sauter said in the news release.

The new logo is already in use and will be fully phased in by2017.
