-Vintage Canuck- Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Quote When the Toronto Maple Leafs and Detroit Red Wings take to BMO Field on Jan. 1 as part of the Centennial Classic, they will do so in style. The two Original Six clubs revealed their outdoor game jerseys on Monday. The iconic Toronto franchise will skate in a dark blue jersey featuring a white maple leaf. Also of note, the pants are emblazoned with the logo of the Toronto Arenas, the original name Toronto donned from 1917 to 1919. The Maple Leafs are celebrating their 100th anniversary this season. The Red Wings opted for a clean yet simple look, but unique to the sweater is the silver band on both arms, which displays the year of each of the franchise's 11 Stanley Cup championships. The Red Wings have won four Cups since 1997, including their most recent in 2008. http://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/1161854 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neversummer Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I get the original Six tradition thing but boy, this particular game between the current Leafs and Wings is lacking a bit of lustre and pretty low on the 'who cares' meter. Special jerseys are nice just another money grab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaSwede Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I wonder how pleased Leafs fans will be about this "totally not inspired by the Habs" look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right on the 'who cares' meter though, just another game as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cramarossa Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Hideous. The silver on the Detroit sweater is an eyesore, and the Toronto one looks just like all their other jerseys: crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Would take the Millionaires jerseys any day over either of these. Not that I'm biased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although not a fan of the sponsorship theme which obviously dates back to the early days of football (soccer) when it was necessary. However if your team wins a title outside of league play would you not want to purchase a jersey celebrating that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lafayettecrossbar Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I think they look great. Hockey has the best uniforms of any team sport. Second best logos after baseball, too. However, won't catch me spending $100+ on any NHL merchandise, not even for my Nucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
