0071: Vintage Maple Leafs
Vintage Week continues on this Winter Classic Weekend as Micah Loyed provides another great concept, this time for the Toronto Maple Leafs. The instinct for many may be to dislike it since it doesn't feature the classic Maple Leaf shape, but the style is certainly very retro.

Not really a fan of this. The striping is definitely vintage but not much different than other Leafs concepts we've seen. As for the logos, aside from the lettering, I don't really get a vintage vibe at all. The logo on the dark jersey is a bit awkward looking and pulls my eye in an odd direction. The other isn't bad but is a little too cartoonish for my taste. Not bad overall though. I don't think there is a tougher task than rebranding the Leafs.
I like the bottom one becaus It is close to ones that they have actually worn
I like the Wings's design a little better, but these are still great! I wish the font was more arched though.
I like the top one (although I think you should remove the two stripes near the end of the sleeve), mainly due to the fact because its different. Since the chris started posting the winter classic concepts of Toronto and Detroit, they've all seemed to be blending together by just adding more stripes. This is at least unique and different. Good job.
I think most fans wouldn't care for the logo on the blue variant but the logo on the white is very sharp and would be a favorite.
Love the bottom design. Has a very Leafs-esque feel to it. The top one however doesn't do it for me. A team like the leafs doesn't need a drastic new logo, and that's what the top one screams to me.
The top logo is odd to say the least, the bottom is better, but i think it's still too simple of a design
Maybe without the text in the Leaf it'd be OKAY.
But I really dislike this.
