Leafs to unveil new logo & uniforms for 2017.

You can say 2 + 2 is potato all day, won't make it so.



The 1942/43 logo has "framing" (for lack of a better term) around the outside of the Leaf.....the mock-up does not. The original had more & quite obviously different veins, the ratio of lettering to Leaf is different, and on and on.

They quite simply, and factually are not the identical logos.

Framing will typically be evident when it's placed onto the blue background of the home jersey or the white background of the road jersey to make it stand out more. It wouldn't appear in the logo mock-up independently of the jersey.

It's clear that they took the 1940s era logo and made minute modifications to it. It's essentially the same identical logo for all intents and purposes. Which is excellent, because that was what I hoped they would do in the first place.

You can't just create a modern logo out of the blue with a team that has the history of the Leafs.

Hey you can think what you think. It's blatantly obvious that they took the logo from the most successful period in team history and made a slight font modification to TORONTO, but otherwise it's the same.

Like I said....the mock-up isn't the 1942-43 logo. Period.....thank you for reiterating that once again.

The only kind of accurate we know. Factual.


Other subtle differences, the new logo has 13 vein "branches" in it to represent our 13 cups, and will have 31 points, versus the 35-36ish the old veined logos usually had.

Will definitely be happy if they go with the 1940s jerseys though, if what was posted is not purportedly the final product.

....the guy who posted it online (and watermarked it), stated bluntly that it's not the new logo and simply a representation of what he recalls of it, after having seen it.


It's close though, no question.

additionally from my buddy who has seem them...

- it has one thick stripe/piping line on the bottom of the jersey.

- two stripes on the arm.

- solid white/blue jerseys otherwise, ie: no patches on the shoulders.

- St. Pats jersey will be the alternate for next year, with what appears to be the 1920/22 logo.

- Arenas jersey is currently planned as the 17/18 alternate with what looks like a pretty much identical jersey to the 1918-1919 ones.

- Holland and another Leaf were the ones in the internal release video demonstrating these new jerseys, with the added caveat from Shanny that some additional tweaks may still come before the release on Tuesday, as they were going back and forth with the league about the sizing of the logo on the jersey, as we want one slightly bigger than they usually allow.

Brilliant news. Especially significant given that the team's centennial is coming up next year.
 
Now the st pats and arenas jerseys are a pretty awesome idea.

Liked the st pats one for a while but wasn't going to get it if it wasn't an actual jersey.
 
That logo is beautiful. Exactly the minimal change i was hoping for. The day Stamkos signs is the day i will have it on order.

I guess they've resigned themselves to the fact that you're not winning any more cups ;)
