Why did they make it so hard? It was right there for them ... I mocked this up in 5 mins lol.

Reduce the white stripe at the bottom and I'm buying that.

I lived through the Ballard era and those clown uniforms. And even though my childhood Leaf heroes (Darryl, Lanny, Tiger, Palmy, etc) all sported it, it still reminds me of the ultimate failure of that era. I agree that the turning the old alt third jersey blue, with perhaps a few tweaks, would have been far superior to this rag, which I would use to sop up the barf I threw up when I first saw it.

I R DISAPPOINT!!!!

 

[Rob Brown]

Silver isn’t a new colour for Toronto, their uniforms from 99-07 had silver lacing throughout the numbers and shoulder patches.

I wouldn't call this silver but yeah.

 

[Menzinger]

Some things are best left to history.....

 

[ITM]

Honestly...I think it's awful.

You're far too kind.

Anyone who thinks these are the worst are forgetting about:

Didn't forget the practice jerseys and still think the "remixed" are atrocious if only in comparison to the practice jerseys/pajamas jerseys. The insisted upon cool! of it all reminds of Canadian Tire meets PartcipACTION meets Scotia Bank promotion:

Free Jersey With Every Savings Account Opened This Weekend!

2 double scotches in. Still don't like it.

Drink as many as you want, there's nothing but fire that would make that thing look good. Just pray we hire Mike Keenan to refuse to let the team wear it.

The more I look at it, the more I hate it.

Can't decide if that jersey is the worst piece of Leafs branding ever or this is:

 

[Stand Witness]

Should have been these

this. Literally all they had to do was this ffs. This was a tap in and instead they lipped out and rolled off the green.

Now I will be a bit more patient. I want to see these jerseys fitted and on ice with a full uniform. Maybe a creative sock, pants, gloves and helmet combo and make this work. The jersey, especially a baggy jersey, just doesn’t work.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

This era would be cool to see.

Happy Movember!

I may be in the minority here but that's one of my least favorite Leafs jerseys.

It's kind of an ugly 70s-80s look that they could have modernized. But that combination of oversized logo and use of grey is just bad. Maybe just use grey if you're really looking for a strange colourway, but choosing the worst logo the Leafs have ever had and scaling it up 1.5x is just poor design.

 

[BertCorbeau]

This reverse retro theme across the league is brutal, but this iteration of the Leaf jersey is just bleh.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Honestly...I think it's awful.

Yeah, I'm not a fan...

 

[7even]

The stripe at the bottom is imo the biggest offender, makes it look like a repurposed pillowcase

The rest is, f*** me I dunno, like, I might buy it as a hoodie? But as a jersey naw mayne it ain't it.

 

[cupcrazyman]

Have to pay for all those terrible contracts some how.

 

[TootooTrain]

Lovin the white stripe arms. Main crest is meh, but maybe ill grow into it.

 

[smitty10]

These jerseys are garbage. Who the hell designed these pieces of crap?

Beyond disappointing for such a historic franchise with beautiful jerseys to have to wear these.

 

[Stephen]

Have to pay for all those terrible contracts some how.

The NHL and Adidas would make more money if they invested in good designs... these nasty jerseys aren't exactly cheap buys in a pandemic. Way to read the room!

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

I'm not sure which is worse. Fans thinking Kevin Hayes is the 6th best center in the league (nhl.com fan poll), or this jersey.

 

[tokyoite]

Dont bring back Ballard era jerseys. No please no.

 

[supermann_98]

Exact word I was going to use.

The logo looks like it was drawn by a 3rd grader.

I'm kinda holding back on my true disgust for this jersey just in case it WAS designed by a 3rd grader or a make-a-wish children's design and don't want to them to see all the negativity.

Let's be real though this was designed by a recently out-of-university female liberal arts student with facial piercings and neck tattoos

Sad but true.

 

[Face Of Bear]

Worst leaf jersey of all time. We have so many retro jerseys that could have tastefully been 'reversed' and for some reason they chose to bash together a leaf from one era with the stripes of another. The blue on blue enlarged logo is particularly hideous. Makes me wonder how someone got paid to come up with that and how anyone else thought it was the best option.

I'm guessing they didn't go with the 80s logo (to go with the 80s sweater) because we are only 4 years removed from it.

But the 1970/71 logo was different than both the 1982/83 and 1987-2015 logo. Yet the sweater was the same in both the 70s and 80s.

So why didn't they just go with the 1970/71 logo?
