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.

In the 1938-39 season, there was an update to this design which included two maple leaves on either side of a red circle with “TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS” written inside it. This version would remain unchanged until 1970, when they updated their colors from navy blue to royal blue, adding green accents throughout the logo and changing some details, such as making all three points slightly more pointed than before.

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!
