The entries were narrow ed down to the four m ost popular subm issions -- W ild, Coyotes, United and Tions. The ballots were counted and the Oakville W ild was the winner. The OSC worked closely with The Taundry, a design firm that had created OSC' s crest several years ago. In consultation with staff and members, the Oakville Wild logo was created. It reflects the strong brand of the club by us ing its crest shape in the face of the lion and in tegrating the core colours of the club -- blue O A K V IL L E and red. OSC hopes to increase brand recognition and allow representative teams to have a com m on team name that shows the pride and iden tity of the largest amateur soccer club in North America. The club' s crest will remain OSC' s flagship logo while the Wild logo acts as a second ary brand tool. OSC is p re se n tin g a line of O akville W ild ap p arel for p layers and s u p p o rt ers. "This exciting brand expansion will provide the club with a renewed presence and energy as our teams assume the name in competition and give spectators the opportu nity to cheer on the W ild," said Dave Harris, the club's executive director. Oakville Wild apparel is available at the Pine Glen Soccer Centre (1 5 2 0 Pine Glen Rd.) in Oakville and Absolute Soccer (4 1 3 0 Fair-view St.) in Burlington. 73 (£ d.
