phutmasterflex Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Would have been a nice looking matchup Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgo Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Well, if they keep the designs for next year, at least the Leafs don't seem to be wearing vintage white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger77 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Plus that early '80s Detroit number font is pretty unique too. PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSparks1 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Would be interesting to see the sleeves on the jerseys. I like the logos though. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Would love to see them do a red vs. blue matchup to avoid the undoubtedly vintage white uniforms Toronto would be wearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramerica Industries Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 This is the rare matchup where both teams look much better in their white's than their colored sets.I would think Detroit would be wearing white and, hopefully, not of the vintage variety.

aci Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Anyone else think Detroit's current jerseys would look even better if they used that number font?

north dakota Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Those Detroit jerseys are beautiful, I actually like the vintage white on them Woah! You think I'm Cody?

The_Admiral Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Why use such a baseless fauxback when the striped sweaters are there to use? Bad. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Would be interesting to see the sleeves on the jerseys. I like the logos though. Well done.Apparently they'd be wearing their 1927 throwbacks. Considering what Detroit wore last time, and how the Leafs have avoided the fauxback trend, I think we'll see both teams wearing clean white. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 So Leafs vs Wings at the Big House will probably be the 2014 Winter Classic right? Any chance the league would pick new teams and a new venue? Probably not, I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Nice to see that Toronto resisted the urge to go with the St. Pats throwbacks.

Proc Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 So Leafs vs Wings at the Big House will probably be the 2014 Winter Classic right? Any chance the league would pick new teams and a new venue? Probably not, I would think.I have season tickets to the Red Wings and bought Winter Classic tickets. The Red Wings sent out information where you could get a refund for the Winter Classic or just let them hang onto the money until next year's game. So, its's apparent, The Big House will host the game next year.As for the uniform match up, I am hoping for a color on color game. Red vs. Blue would look great. As it is, they were going to divide the 100K+ stadium up (as far as ticket allotment goes) into the Leafs sections and the Wings sections and were going to promote wearing of the colors to make the stadium half red, half blue.

IceCap Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Nice to see that Toronto resisted the urge to go with the St. Pats throwbacks.Why? That would have been awesome.The St. Pats era, while part of the Leafs' lineage represents a sort of failed experiment. An attempt to brand themselves as a Celtic/Irish/Catholic-centric club, a hockey version of Celtic FC if you will. It didn't really take and they became the Maple Leafs, a team embraced across southwestern Ontario, and most of English Canada for decades. While the lineage of the St. Pats and Maple Leafs is one and the same the Leafs were the team that a nation got behind while the St. Pats were the team that didn't even really appeal to the demographic they were pandering to.Also Maple Leafs vs Red Wings is a great historical rivalry. St. Pats vs Red Wings was never even a thing.Plus there's the fact that the Leafs were chosen for this game because of their widespread appeal. The Toronto Maple Leafs brand is very strong. Why dilute it with a uniform set so far removed from the look the brand is known for?

Plus, with Toronto only being a 5 hour drive to Ann Arbor, it's a natural fit. The demand for tickets in the Detroit-Ann Arbor area and Toronto was off the charts.

And I would wager that a big part of going to this game would be see the Red Wings and Maple Leafs looking like the Red Wings and Maple Leafs, even in throwback/fauxback form.
