uniformity Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 The more I look at it, it appears that they are basing the new logo and it's history on this graphic at nhluniforms.com. It's a huge step in the right direction and Andrew has to be commended for the tremendous resource that he provides, but that logo is not entirely accurate for 1938. It's really just the 1963 logo with the outline removed. The 1938 logo actually dates back to 1934. As seen here on a special uniform that King Clancy wore for a single period in a game against the Rangers. http://thirdstringgoalie.blogspot.ca/2011/03/1934-toronto-maple-leafs-st-patricks.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almighty Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 But those mockups are just the alternate jerseys they have been using for years ? Am i wrong ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philly97flyer Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 If they're basing it off the 1938 look, I wouldn't be surprised to see the jerseys have that rounded collar we saw in this year's Winter Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 The font looks too dated. "Toronto" would look better not arched but going straight from left to right. Furthermore don't like the blue shoulders on the white jersey. The Catch of the Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The logo has not undergone any big changes since 1970. So will it be a totally new design or simply a throwback? Fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts, with some hoping the new logo wouldn’t stray too far from the sacred blue and white maple leaf. The unveiling will happen on The Leafs: Blueprint on TSN4. The new logo is planned to coincide with the team’s centennial season next year. The 2016-17 campaign will also mark the NHL’s 100th season.

Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

DAKINS24 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 20 hours ago, Ice_Cap said: It seems like they're going to be doing more to the 1938 logo than slapping a new wordmark on it. I just hope it's enough to differentiate it from the 1938 logo, the Iceletics article feel like it's not that far off. " It's modeled on the leaf that was introduced in 1938 minus the double outline that was added in the the 1960s — the logo we all know well from the third jersey the Leafs wore from 2000 to 2011." 19 hours ago, CreamSoda said: I think you are confused... Just wait until the Leafs new logo comes out tomorrow. You compared what I had said to the Jays re-branding in 2004, which isn't at all relevant to my point of a logo evolving with time, not devolving backwards.

You assume returning to an older logo (even though that's not what the Leafs are doing) is devolution. It isn't.

uniguy22 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I wonder if they will go back to the royal blue colour from the past or continue to use the darker blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAKINS24 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Everything I have read from those who have seen it say it's a return to the old logo style of the 1960's. That regressing back to an old logo style. This feels much like they are throwing the logo progression from The 1970's onward into the trash. Sure, fans will love it, as it whitewashes over the "Ballard Leaf" era, but why pick just one? Why not celebrate all eras of the Leaf logo?

This has bugged me for a while. They wear royal helmets, pants and gloves, their jerseys are a little darker and their marchandise is all navy...
