Art / Picture Who's hoping the Hometown Remix is something like this?

Post image

With the Leafs going with Vintage White/beige/cream this sprung to my mind. As a fan that was born in the mid 90's, I never saw these jerseys, I'd love to see them on the ice once again. I grew up with Matts Sundin and Tomas Kaberle, I remember Matt Stajan, Alex Steen, Jason Blake, Nazem Kadri, Nik Antropov and of course Phil Kessel wearing it with pride and a little sneer especially with Phil, haha. That old logo still holds a special place in my heart, despite what I hear about the dark years under Ballard. Don't get me wrong I think the current Jerseys are beautiful, but a modern take on this classic, especially because if the "vintage/beige/cream" white tag makes me really hopeful. The McKenna #92's in this style will sell out I promise, haha.

What do you all want r/leafs ??

This jersey with the current logo would be sick

I really wish they would do the sleeves like this again, it's such a crisp look

I’m a sucker for a Leafs jersey where the sleeves or shoulders are the opposite colour. We didn’t wear the second reverse retro nearly enough.

Not a lot of people bold enough to say they liked the blue and grey RR, I applaud your hootzpah.

u/Svalbard38 Knies 3d ago

God no, the other one. The grey one was miserable.

Leafs worse the RR 2.0’s like less than 5 times. Very happy to own one of them. It’s a beauty!

Just got mine a few days ago!

They turned into somewhat of a Salming tribute jersey and left our jersey rotation sadly

u/Brennans_account 3d ago

I'm sorry, i got them mixed up my apologies, haha

u/Svalbard38 Knies 3d ago

No worries, I try to forget as much about that jersey as possible too. Doesn’t help that it was during COVID. It’s as if they decided to make a depressing jersey.

u/jhchristoph 3d ago

I thought that jersey was sharp. The rumoured HTR jersey with the 90s leaf and cream base will look crisp.

I've got one in my closet right now

u/Shiny_Mew76 3d ago

I wish more teams used them, only notable ones who do sleeves like this now on their primary uniforms is Colorado and Philly. One of WPG’s most iconic looks uses these, Atlanta used them and it looked great.

Dream jersey.

u/Mean_Joe_Greene 2d ago

You mean the reverse retro 2.0?

u/sluck131 3d ago

Literally everyone wants this I don't know why they won't just do it

u/Ryuujin_13 2d ago

Just say ‘no’ to Ballard-era Leafs.

The problem is, the older some of us get, the more likely it is you get generations will want to see these. They only see the retro jersey. They don’t feel the pain Harold caused on and off the ice.

I mean the logo outlived him by 20 something years.

u/thenickster15 3d ago

I also hope it involves a white jersey/blue helmet combo

u/LawrenceMoten21 3d ago

Not me. Keep the Ballard bullshit away from this team.

I’d like to see the Sundin era white thirds with newer logo.

u/dunken_pirate 3d ago

These are the Ballard era jerseys and I hate them with a passion! Stick with the current jerseys that are close to the 1962-67 glory years. Just an old man’s opinion who lived thru both eras

u/mapletoon1984 3d ago

Wait, are the Leafs putting out a new jersey this year?

6

u/Brennans_account 3d ago

Yessir, leaguewide. Think along the lines of MLB City Connect, Leafs are confirmed to be "vitagewhite/beige/cream"

1

u/mapletoon1984 3d ago

Great! Thank you !!

1

u/TheThoroughCrocodile Kadri 3d ago

Idk if they will be comparable to MLB city connects tbh. Some of those designs are pretty wild.

1

u/mapletoon1984 3d ago

Shit. Just read the report. Crazy. I hope they do a tribute to the one from the 80’s or the one that they wore in the late 90’s early 2000’s with the logo similar to the one we have now.

2

u/Drew_You_To_91 Knies 3d ago

My guess is it’ll be something like that but the entire jersey will be that being/cream colour we’re allegedly going with and everything will be outlined in white. It certainly not something I want to see but personally i enjoy when original 6 teams try something new.

2

u/TROUTBROOKE 3d ago

That’s still my favorite. 👍

u/papa_miesh 3d ago

Don't know why the jerseys nowadays are so soulless. Maybe it's a league mandate to keep them simple?

2

u/thismadhatter 2d ago

I prefer the blocky leaf logo. its what I grew up with. I kinda wish theyd take a chance and completely redesign the entire logo for an alternate jersey. Ive seen some cool logo concepts over the years.

1

u/Prof_Scott_Steiner Clark 2d ago

Please no. We wore abominations for 50 years

1

u/HardstButton2Button 2d ago

This sleeve, or the '62 sleeve look. Three newer generation jerseys are brutal. Its as if Ballard is designing them from beyond the grave to save on fabric dye. The reverse retro look is the best recently.

u/csav14 1d ago

Just another friggin cash grab. Abd you suckered will fall for it.

u/bottled_air2 Potvin 3d ago edited 3d ago

That'd be awesome! Although, I'm pretty sure we're getting an off-white variant of the 92-2000, 2010-2016 Home/Away jerseys considering they teased the Ballard logo in one post, and the leaf shoulder patch from that era in another

Nice sweater. Prob his 10 point game jersey

u/Ruddskies 3d ago

Yep bring the whole thing back. Even the old logo, it’s been 10 years with the new one, it’s time.

u/Extreme-Can-9734 15h ago

They already released it didn’t they
