SHaMROCK Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I think this would be the best of both worlds (or at least two of them) for the Leafs: a classic veined 35-point leaf with the super-cool 1967 lettering.No... just noWhy "No... just no"? The lettering on the 35 point leaf is terrible. In fact I think the entire 35 point leaf is terrible. It looks O.K. at the top half but the bottom is too narrow. I had a maple tree in my yard growing up and I never saw a maple leaf look like that. As far as I'm concerned the only good logo is the 1967 maple leaf. The current "Ballard Maple Leaf" is also terrible. It looks like it wants to be a classic 11 point representation of a maple leaf but some of the points are getting lost. Not to mention the 44 years of futility, failure and scandal it represents. If the organization want to turn over a new leaf, they need to ditch the Ballard disaster ASAP and go back to their last successful period.

andrew. Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 So what's left to be unveiled? Dallas 3rd, Toronto 3rd, Winnipeg home and away (will they have a third?), anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original veined Leaf is perfect and I see no need to combine eras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Admiral Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 The original veined Leaf is perfect and I see no need to combine eras.It's not perfect. The double outline muddles the shape of the leaf and doesn't match anything else in the set, which is all just single-layer, so I got rid of it and simplified it. Also, the text was kerned oddly and always seemed off-center, so I fixed that. I'm perfectly fine with what the Maple Leafs have now, even the ugly Kabel Bold, but if they were to go back, I'd like to see them go about it like that. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 The veined leaf is horrid and overly-detailed. We don't need yet another NHL team hopping on the full-time retro-for-retro's-sake bandwagon. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate the jersey design itself (maybe the piping that actually goes up the collar) but the SENS logo seemed so childish to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayne Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 ^so why was the Bolts third jersey not held in the same regard? As far as I can recall people don't seem to have much of an issue with that jersey as they do the Sens one. Both jersey templates aren't very traditional but if I had to make a choice, I would choose the Sens design as it looks meaner and more slick. Don't get me wrong, I don't like the jersey but I don't hate it like the overwhelming mojority seem to. I'm Danny fkn Heatley, I play for myself. That's what fkn all stars do.

Western English readers read from top left to bottom right. That's why jerseys with words on them diagonally usually follow this standard. The Sens sweater (and the redesigned NHL logo) go the opposite way so they eyes and the brain have to work just that little bit harder to comprehend what they are seeing. Perhaps that explains the discrepancy, if there is one, in the acceptance of both jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
