The Montreal Alouettes (abbreviated as MTL) (French: Les Alouettes de Montréal) are a professional Canadian football team based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, playing in the Eastern Division of the Canadian Football League (CFL). This unofficial Montreal Alouettes fan flag (French: drapeau non officiel des Alouettes de Montréal) consists of the team's official logo and a dark blue background derived from the logo.
The Montreal Alouettes logo is a clever fusion of elements that encapsulate both the team's identity and its historical ties. The central feature is an "M" for Montréal, artistically shaped to resemble a bird in flight. This pays homage to the traditional bird imagery associated with the team's name, "Alouettes," which is the French word for larks. The M, which also resembles an aircraft, reflects the squadron after which the team was named, adding a historical layer to the emblem. The entire composition is encased within a circular form, providing a sense of unity and completeness, with the team name prominently displayed. In sum, the logo artfully combines the cultural significance of the lark with the historical reference to the squadron, all while celebrating Montreal's identity and the Alouettes' place within it.
