Toronto Maple Leafs
Inspired by the classic Leafs logo of the 1940’s to 1960’s, the club’s new mark has a number of design characteristics that distinguish it. On February 2, 2016, the team unveiled a new logo that will be adopted for 2016 – 2017 season in honor of its centennial; it returns the logo to a form inspired by the earlier designs, with 31 points to allude to the 1931 opening of Maple Leaf Gardens, and 17 veins in reference of its 1917 establishment. 13 of the veins are positioned along the top portion in honor of its 13 Stanley Cup victories.
Maple Leafs Primary Logo
The Toronto Maple Leafs are one of the most iconic hockey teams in the NHL, and their primary logo has been a symbol of pride for fans since its inception. The original Maple Leaf logo was designed by Conn Smythe, owner, and coach of the team, in 1927. It featured three points on a blue shield with white trim to represent each point—one for each province that made up Canada at that time: Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia.
Today’s primary Toronto Maple Leafs Logo features two overlapping maple leafs inside an outlined gray circle set against a background field featuring both light & dark shades of blues; this is accompanied by “Toronto Hockey Club” written above in bright white lettering while underneath reads “Established 1917". This modern take on classic elements combined create what is now known worldwide – The Toronto Maple Leaf Logo!
