wildwing64 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I'm also reading that as MTL. I'd love to see them use a version of this with just the T as an alternate mark. PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Houston Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I'd be curious to see a mock-up of this with just the veins or if you get rid of Toronto and leave 'Maple Leafs.' Either way, it's a good look and works for the team.

bleuet Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I would've put only TORONTO in the logo. You see, its fine for a league to pay tribute to history, tradition, the gud old times. I feel like, its a missed opportunity. You got plenty of teams with look "legit - à la rétro" MTL CHI NYR BOS DET EDM VAN BUF NYI PHI STL There are the "faux à la rétro", more or not recent franchises who adopt retro look for commercial reason mostly TB CAR DAL * (I find them more appropriate, in the end, its the old stars) MIN And more modern concepts are FLA WAS PIT NJ OTT CLB LA SJ ANA COL NSH AZ WIN CGY Everybody knows the Leafs had a hard times since many many years. Last championship 1967 etc.. Was time to take this 100th anniversary to turn the page on those bad souvenirs. They didnt, instead, they stay in the same mainstream, dictated by "fashion". I feel it was time for out of the box, going modern, turn your back to the trending retro jerseys that are not fun anymore to Watch. They dug themselves a hole now, to the point we all can predict the uniforms coming. Not fun, another missed opportunity of going creative, lets take the old leaf, change a bit , give poor and stupid reasoning 17 points for this and that reason. They should have gone SparkyChewbarkys way. This league is going BACKWARD in terms of design. My opinion, probably, few shares it :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Going off the wall "just because" is a terrible idea and almost always results in terrible looking logos and uniforms.

bleuet Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Ah OK, let's say more or less modern. They are, say on the border.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their uniforms are very traditional and their logo fits in just fine with the Original Six.

I wonder if they will have have an alternate logo without out the words. They should, and I suspect they might will. Especially at smaller sizes, you'll never be able to see the text, and it will just create a white blob. I would imagine there would be specific rules for when the text-free version is used, though, assuming one even exists. Anyway, not being a Leafs fan, my thoughts are that this logo isn't really any better or worse than the last one. But, once I read more about the logo (i.e. their inspiration) and learned more about the history of the club, this is a much better identity than before.

Morgan33 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I think the people who think it looks like a pot leaf have had too many funny cigarettes themselves... The more I look at this update, the more spectacular it looks. I'm not even worried about what the uniforms will look like anymore... It is going to be a home run.

Magnus Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 10 hours ago, Ice_Cap said: It does not. Magnus had to add two additional segments to get it to come close to looking like a pot leaf. For clarity: I actually just googled that image. It's not my creation nor adaptation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the great philosopher Elsa the Snow Queen would say, "Let it go." As long as they are still making money hand over fist, the corporations that own the Leafs (and rather conveniently the only cable networks that air NHL hockey in most of this country any more) won't really care about how well their players perform on the ice.

As are 99% of the Big Four teams.The sheer dominance of Bell and Rogers over any other competition for cable service in Canada is what I think irks me the most. I think that was the point I was trying to make. I'm fine if you're a Leafs fan who's been actually watching them since the 60s or 70s (explains the Boomers). Anyone in my age bracket or younger is simply delusional and feeding the corps that will happily take their money to give them an inferior product based on nostalgia. Philly's at least been to the Finals several times since their last Cup win. Several times. Toronto hasn't even made it past the third round - EVER.
