Poll: Should the Toronto Maple Leafs change their logo?

The Maple Leafs appear to be on the cusp of changing their logo and introducing new jerseys as part of their centennial celebrations next season.

The website sportslogos.net, citing “several” sources, said the Leafs would introduce the changes next season, the team’s 100th.

The Star has learned the team is believed to be considering using eight of their historic logos at some point next season, including a green Toronto St. Patricks jersey. Chris Creamer of sportslogos.net also suggested the green jersey is on the table.

“Centennial plans will be announced in the New Year,” said Dave Haggith, senior director of communications for Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment. “We won’t be commenting until that time. There’s some fun stuff planned.”

The Leafs last had a major change to their logo in 1970, straightening the word “Toronto,” which used to be arched.

They’ve used many different jersey styles since, including ones with broad stripes down the shoulders and arms, and ones with triple piping around the waist.

The Leafs also hope to have an outdoor game and perhaps host the draft or the all-star game next season as part of their celebration.
