I prefer them with this logo, but you could put the current logo on this sweater and it would still look great. The extra-stripey socks are a must though. I as well prefer that logo for some reason. I also love this era: 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttep Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 This is my favorite lineup of Leafs jerseys I agree with above posters that the very stripey socks are an absolute must. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 The Leafs really need to bring back that alternate and put the reversible, black monstrosity in the trashcan where it belongs. An Original 6 franchise having a jersey like that in regular rotation is an embarrassment. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replace the Ballard Leaf logo with the current logo on the homes and aways on this set and that's the Leafs' definitive look, socks and all. Maybe a blue yoke on the whites like they had too but that's give or take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 The Blackhawks Winter Classic jersey got leaked. Nice design overall, and I like that they're going with red this time. 9 1 Quote PotD: 24/08/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patchey13 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 My Hawks concept last summer almost nailed that uniform dead on. Only difference was the stripes being inverted, and the logo in the roundel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as the stripes on the sleeves and chest being different, there is the hem stripes and the lack of black cuffs, and the shoulder logos. It looks similar, but to say that it "almost nailed that uniform dead on" is quite a stretch. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan33 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 That might be the nicest looking Winter Classic design they've ever had. Hopefully they wear it more than once. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's associated with Harold Ballard and a lot of losing for a (quickly fading) part of the Leafs fanbase. Funny how opinions on these things are completely generational. Younger Canucks fans prefer the Orca, while nearly everyone above 30 dislikes it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoulder logo on the shoulder instead of middle of the sleeve. A circle around the primary logo Oh yeah thats WAAAAY off bro. Just a funny little coincidence, no need to be an ass over it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habsfan1 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 The stars from the Chicago flag included in the roundel are a nice touch! Great font and everything else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 The secondary logo reduced to red/black/white is so Concepts Folder. It's fine enough. I never liked the "Blackhawks Chicago" treatment on the old Winter Classic sweaters and it's worse here because it's not even the classic two-word "Black Hawks." It's also a slab-serif font that isn't City, which makes it look like Jewel-Osco seasonal-aisle fare. I was really holding out hope for the barberpoles (which I once saw at the Champs Sports in Woodfield but could not afford in high school. It was beautiful in person. Oh well. Leafs looked their best in the '90s with the simple primary, detailed secondary, the thick NOB lettering, and being in the Western Conference with Chicago and Detroit.

Not to be that guy, but the Leafs' blue shoulder yoke third jersey didn't come around until they moved to the Eastern Conference. They wore these in their last few years in the West: Essentially the early 2010s look with a slightly thinner number font 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a Leaf logo that ISN'T associated with a lot of losing? Sorry, just an easy question. 1 1 5 Quote It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The secondary logo was a variation on the old 35-point leaf but without lettering. Exception that proves the "secondaries shouldn't have the same concept as their primaries" rule.
