Elliotte Friedman and Damien Cox discuss the latest news around the hockey world, including the Penguins’ new head coach Mike Sullivan and the possible return of Maple Leafs’ Bernier.
When reports surfaced that the Toronto Maple Leafs would get a new logo and set of uniforms in time for their centennial celebrations in 2016, the reception was mixed.
It’s not like the team hasn’t gone through a redesign before, but when a franchise, especially one with such a large history, sets out to make changes, fans can get a little anxious.
Here are some of the best responses on Twitter.
The Leafs will have a new logo next year. Here's my guess: #TMLtalk pic.twitter.com/non00HdI9H

New Leafs uniforms? This is the start of the Leafs/Mike Myers breakup, you know.

I hope the new #Leafs logo is just a picture of Mike Babcock's angry face

I wonder if they'll spell "Leaves" correctly on the new logo. #MapleLeafs #TMLtalk

They've done well throughout their history making jerseys, not sure why everyone's so worried now @Sportsnet #TMLTalk #GoLeafsGo

The Leafs new logo will combine the past and the future, so I assume it's just going to be a picture of Gretzky high-sticking Stamkos. @mlse
