monkeypower Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I don't know what anybody else thinks of them, but I really like the Sittler-era Leafs jerseys and wouldn't be against them coming back in some form or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Who here had the idea of using the TTC subway font to replace the Kabel on the typeface? I did. I don't like a wordless leaf. Way too dull, not "simple and iconic." ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 HOw about a T with a long top in the middle, with a smaller M on the left of the vertical bar and L on the right?The thing with the plain leaf is in b/w print it just looks like a maple leaf - it'd need some defining characteristic to trademark.

truepg Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 As someone who doesn't follow hockey, dropping the wordmark from the leaf feels like the obvious thing to do -- they have that much brand recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the Leafs have brand recognition. I don't know if you've ever been to Canada though, because the Leafs aren't exactly the only thing with a maple leaf in their branding, and dropping the wordmark from their logo would not help with that.

IceCap Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 The Leafs have had the text inside the maple leaf ever since becoming the Maple Leafs. That's part of the brand. It needs to stay.

bleuet Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 My 5 pennies100 years for Leafs is something big. Unlike Mtl, Toronto changed jerseys throughout the decades, no big changes but still.Time to reverse the trend in the NHL. I'd go on a moderate out of the box jersey, but not too much, but something else then two stripes.I mean, I believe we've had enough faux old with Tampa, Dallas, Carolina being the ugliest.This organization needs a new start IMHO, keeping some links with the past.Would not be surprise to see a sort of mix, but I'd let the current jersey for history.

Davey Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I'm concerned and curious with the Maple Leafs getting new logo/uniforms for next season. As to which direction they will go ( I was even thinking if they will go with a slightly lighter blue from the 1960's era ) to hints and rumors along the way. It will be interesting and hopefully for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that, there is no reason to drop the wordmark from the leafs logo. It would be a definitive downgrade to go to a generic maple leaf as a logo. Having the name adds some substance, plus they've had it there for basically their entire history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockey week Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 I would be shocked, shocked if this striping pattern went awayIt's been on the socks for how long? It's the stripe of the 67 jersey, it's the basis of their Winter Classic throwback/alternate, it's been all over and rarely noticed.I'd think if there was something new (which with the Leafs, on a 100th anniversary, isn't going to be progressive. It'll be fauxback-esque) and I think it'll be based around this.As for the logo, I'd think it's some mix of the 35 point leaf and the 67 leaf, perhaps streamlined. I'd expect blank logos on the shoulders. I'll respect any opinion that you can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
