2) Vancouver. I am loving the blue, I am *LOVING* the cream, and I am L😍O🥰V🤩I💖N💗G the blue + cream + orange. Please don't f*** up the logo/name announcement next month. 9.5/10

1) Montreal Victoire. 10/10. It's perfect. The colour, the name, the logo, No notesy
4/4 fin.

4) Toronto Sceptres. Great logo, good balance between blue & gold. But Yellow=Saskatchewan not Toronto, otherwise we'd be a 9. 8/10

3) NY Sirens. Love the NY style, logo is itself Siren, and S-S-S being sound waves? GREAT. 8.5/10

5) Seattle. I was hoping for more vibrancy in the Green. But that cream...oh it's so good. Foreshadowing. 7.5/10

2/4
