Lights Out Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Just a quick minimalist concept from me this time. I've always noticed how the Leafs' logo could be used to make natural trim on a uniform, and wanted to try out the effect. I also swapped scripts, putting the old '60s "Toronto Maple Leafs" script on the current logo, and I picked a NOB/number font that pretty much matches it exactly. Comments?(And yes, I realize that Phil Kessel is not an assistant captain for the Leafs, I just wanted to show a patch.)

skier14 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I like this, its a nice idea and was executed effectively.However, the first thing that comes to my mind when I see these jerseys are: This and this. I can see why I did, but I still think its strange making that connection.This is a very interesting concept that I really like a lot. Nice work!Edit: Also is similar to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Huh ... very interesting. Never would have thought it could work as well as it does here. I think the sleeves need something more, but, then again, I've never been a fan of straight-up blank sleeves on any concept. The only other thing I would worry about is if you get a player with a long surname that would extend outside the white area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 What about the Leaf's classic striping design on the sleeves? It might not look great, but I think it could work. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 Here it is with the classic striping design:I'm not so sure about it, to be honest. I think it takes away from the minimalist design. Comments? POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbaker19 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I like it a lot better with the striping. I definitely think this would work. Thanks Dolphins91 for the jersey avatars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianVlietDesign Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 This is so good. Not only have you been able to modernize the Leafs identity, but you've been able to keep them neat and classic. NYCFC - MLS CUP CHAMPIONS - 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbaker19 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Taking another look at it, I would make the logo smaller, but another than that, this is great. Thanks Dolphins91 for the jersey avatars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loogodude90 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 That looks awesome, only slight complaint i have is that the white uni seems to have too much blue, and the blue uni seems to have too much white (so much to the point that it might actually cause confusion if, say, they wore their white unis against a blue team), that might just be me though. Nice job! WIZARDS ORIOLES CAPITALS RAVENS UNITED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice job!A possible solution could be to make the ends of the sleeves the opposite color. White sleeves with a blue end and vice-versa. Just a thought. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 As a gimmick to sell at gift shops it's fantastic. As a sweater to be worn on the ice? Sorry, not feeling it. The Leafs are the second oldest team in existence. Something like this wouldn't fly.

aci Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I really really like this.One thing I'd consider changing is to make the shape of the leaf a very thick outline on the blue jersey. Right now, it feels like there is too much white on the blue jersey, which could lead to a lot of confusion when watching the game. Think of it like the Red Wings uniforms, where the sleeves are red no matter what.

oddball Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I like the stripes. The only issue I have is that your "1's" are upside down on the sleeves. Β Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spectre Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Very clever, too bad something like this would be close to impossible with the RBK Edge system. Maybe scale down your emblem though too, looks a little big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildwing64 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 This is a very cool idea, but I think the all-white sleeves on the dark jersey, and the all dark sleeves on the white jersey are a bit impractical.You could add a chunk of blue to the bottom of the dark jersey's sleeves, and vice-versa for the white jersey.

Lights Out Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 Updates:Contrasting colors have been added to the end of the sleeves, the "1"s on the shoulders are fixed, and the emblem has been reduced in size. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcb05 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I like em. Similar to concepts that VitaminD and myself came up with a few years ago, but definitely more modern.http://boards.sportslogos.net/index.php?showtopic=39855&view=&hl=&fromsearch=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
