The Leafs are changing their logo

[BillsSabresB.C.T. Fan]

When Toronto's new jersey is unveiled next month at the NHL All-Star Game in Dallas, expect to see something that looks essentially the same as the current version, save for one important detail: the maple leaf logo.

The hallowed maple leaf has apparently been altered, having a "different silhouette," according to a team executive.

The change represents a "modernization" of the logo rather than a dramatic redesign.

It looks like Larry Quinn was right on everthing he's said about ours. It looks like RBK are going to change the logos for all the teams. Just answer me one thing if we're protesting our new logo what do you think Toronto will do? I mean they've had this since the 1920's you talk about tradition.

Re: The Leafs are changing their logo

I was hoping to see what the new jersey looks like. And honestly, after seeing all the red Sabres jerseys on Saturday night, I really don't know what Buffalo was thinking with the yellow and blue. I really don't like the new jerseys at all. I hope the Leafs jerseys don't change too much. I like the ones they have now.

If it's anything like ours, it'll be a yellow leaf with no pointy ends

The Sabres were Blue and Gold from the begining.
Adelphia/Rigases bought them and changed the colors to Red/Black/Grey
the colors of Adelphia Cable.
The fans wanted the old colors back.
Golisano obliged.

.

They were the colors of the Hong Kong-Singapore Bank Corp...you know, the guys who financed the arena.

Go figure.

Re: The Leafs are changing their logo

at least they're not CHANGING your logo, just updating, whatever that means.
What if they changed the leaf to something that looks like a slug?

It wasn't that crook Rigas, or HSBC bank, it was the Late Seymour H. Knox the III that changed the colors. We were moving in a new direction, we were moving into the new Arena. I was there when they unveiled the first new jerseys the white,black, red and gray ones and I can still remember what the late Seymour H. Knox said "He said that it's a new era in Sabres hockey and the Blue & Gold should stay with the Aud it's time to close the book on the Blue & Gold and look into a brighter direction THE FUTURE! (I agree with him still to this day) the sad thing is Seymour Knox didn't get to see the first hockey game played in the Marine Midland Arena he died before the Arena even opened. His banner hangs in the rafters with his initials SHK III along with his brother Nordie and with his initials NRK who passed away just a short time after Seymour Knox III did. Along side of Tim Horton, The French Connection, Danny Gare, and Pat LaFontaine. Then the Rigas family stepped in and took control of the team and we know what happened from there.

Oh, I didn't know that. Thanks, Pastor Ted. I still think the red/black colors look better.

Re: The Leafs are changing their logo

Monster change All they did was change the position of the writing. Isn't that thier 3rd jersey's now?

Re: The Leafs are changing their logo

It is their 3rd jersey now.

Most noticeable change is the secondary logo.

Re: The Leafs are changing their logo

Your secondary looks better than your primary also!
You have a slug of your own now. It sucks, doesn't it?

Well, you have no idea what your talking about, so whatever.

Barely anybody had qualms with the colors, it was the logo.

If you are going to complain, learn to complain for the right things!

JKJK, sorta. The Black and red was meh, its generic and boring. Then there was that really pissed off buffalo that was our logo, it gave me nightmares.
