And thank you for helping my team get its barrings back after forty-six years. At least as far as the identity goes Just now, jp1409 said: I feel like they might want to go with northwestern stripes on the jersey but I sure hope it ends up exactly like you described. I just tought about it but what about the wordless current leaf as a shoulder patch? This would be the exact opposite of what they have right now and might look good. I'd love to see a mockup of it. I wouldn't mind the triple stripes from the 1967-70 look but it's such a blip in their aesthetic history compared to the two stripe design. The wordless leaf as an alternate could work, but I feel it would be a bit repetitive. A block T could work to tie the Arenas' old identity into the current look. Which would be topical given that the Arenas throwbacks will be part of the 100th anniversary coming up.

uniformity Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 It looks like royal blue on the Leafs site. whats gives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I rather they sell navy while wearing royal (even if it is a darker royal) than have them go to navy just to sell navy merchandise. I would have preferred the older, lighter shade of royal but the current shade isn't bad by any means. If anyone needs to drop that shade of royal it's the Lightning PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaz Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 This actually looks way better than the Icethetics mock-up made it out to be. Still love the late 60s version, but this is nice look. Maybe they can bring back the striping from their retro alt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I was trying to decide the appropriate way for a Sabres fan to buy a new hat, and I think the Marlies logo is the way to go. It's beautiful. While trying to figure out what the heck that crown leaf was, I ended up at the Duke of Marlborough's Wikipedia page. The family's motto is "Fiel Pero Desdichado", which means "Faithful But Unhappy"... which describes a lot of sports fans. It's a perfect fit.

The Tampa Maple Wings jumped on it but the Leafs should have stricken back.

Lights Out Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I'm sorry, but this is a complete and utter downgrade by the Leafs. Their logo didn't really need anything other than maybe a change of font, it was fine the way it was. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniformity Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Nah this was the perfect time for the Leafs to change. Their 100th anniversary season is upcoming. They are a storied original 6 team that once wore beautiful sweaters. It was time to shed that dated 70s logo. Why let the Ballard logo represent an entire century?

Cosmic Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Is anyone else surprised at the difference between the leaked pic and the flat versions? The drawstrings covering some of the veins, the waviness, and the gray background all made me a little tiny sick to my stomach, thinking they had screwed the rebrand up. The "real" versions look amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
