Can you make the letters the same color as the background to honor this Leafs’ moment?
Have you ever wondered why referees wear striped shirts or teams have to wear contrasting colors? We look at NHL uniforms through the ages.

“In 1977-78, the NHL passed a new rule stating that players had to have their names appear on their jerseys along with their numbers. Leaf owner, Harold Ballard refused, claiming no one would then buy his programs. The league threatened heavy fines, so Ballard gave in. For Toronto’s next game in Chicago on February 26, 1978, the names appeared on the Leaf’s blue jerseys….in blue, making them unreadable. The next day the league changed the wording of the rule, to stipulate the names must be in a colour opposite to the colour of the jersey.“
