  • Stingers United
    STINGERS UNITED Concordia University unveils the new look of its varsity sports teams #STINGERSUNITED September 2, 2015 CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY UNVEILS NEW LOOK FOR ITS VARSITY SPORTS TEAMS New uniforms to make debut at football home opener Montreal, September 2, 2015 – Stronger, cooler, sleeker and, most importantly, united. That’s the message the new Concordia Stingers brand, logo and uniforms will convey to their fans as well as their rivals. It’s a bold departure while remaining true to the spirit and tradition of varsity sports on campus. “We wanted our new image to transcend sports and competition”, says Alan Shepard, president and vice-chancellor of Concordia. “We also had a unique opportunity to further strengthen the already deep sense of pride that exists within the Concordia community. From our students and their parents, our faculty and staff, to our alumni and donors, we are hoping to unite everyone who has a connection with the university.” The new logo retains the traditional yellow and burgundy colors - respecting the history and influence of the university’s two founding institutions, Loyola College and Sir George Williams University - complete with stripes and a stinger. All the varsity teams will sport new uniforms starting with the opening games of their respective seasons. “At the heart of the rebranding process was a reflection on who we are and what we stand for,” says Patrick Boivin, director of Recreation and Athletics. The process was inspired by five pillars of Concordia’s sport programs: passion, adversity, roots, the road (an athlete’s journey to the field of play) and the hive (the buzz created by an engaged fan base).
