Nah it doesn’t suck to me. To me that’s the Leafs logo. It’s the one I grew up with and the one I’ll always love even if it’s a link to the Ballard days. I’m not saying it’s the greatest or anything but I like it.

Pretty safe and boring, but it’s iconic, and what I grew up knowing

Cmon man this Leafs logo is awesome. We may have sucked but this logo is iconic.

Just imagine multiple cups with that logo. It’s never about the actual logo. Oilers and Islanders logo’s aren’t anything special.

I like it. Nice and simple like many of the graphics from the 90s.

Wrong. Objectively wrong.
Booboo_McBad
Nothing wrong with this logo

This is my childhood logo.
That being said, when they changed it I was ecstatic. I love the classic look. The revival there shifted years of mediocrity of my childhood to a feeling of hope.
…until April every year.

Disagree. Vehemently.

I think it’s just a product of it’s time, judging it against todays style it doesn’t hold up but it was a fine looking logo

I never liked it, it was what I grew up with and never liked it. I do like the current new logo.

This and the stripe down the sleeves are symbols of mediocrity.

It was the one I grew up with, and yeah… it’s pretty terrible. It definitely evokes the Ballard-era Leafs for me.

It’s boring and bland. So you’re not wrong.

I love this logo and the stacked TML shoulder / secondary patch.
I also love the 63-67 logo which they used on the early 2000s white alternate with blue shoulders more than the current one. I was never a fan of 67-70.

Yea it blows. I think it could look nice on some new modern designed jerseys with some crisp colours and whatnot like some of the other modernized jerseys.. but the jerseys itself needs to carry it.. and bring on the matte blue helmets!

i grew up with that logo, but that doesn’t make it good. lets leave it in the ash heap of history.

why does it have to suck? What’s great is that all their different logos represents a period and certain players in their history.

Reminds me of Harold Ballard. *spit*

I never see anybody say anything nice about this logo outside of nostalgia tbh. I was very happy when we changed it. A lot of people say they associate it with being bad but honestly the team went to a couple conference finals with this logo it just was ugly then too. I wish the logo used in the 50s/early to mid 60s was never changed in the first place

I pushed hard against the re-design for a while but I love it more and more.
Sundin was my favourite growing up but the new logo is so much better.

I was never really a fan of the “block” style logo…the cool little TML shoulder patch in the shape of the logo was pretty slick however. Always enjoyed the “vintage” style Leaf logo, was so glad when they went back to it.

I have a lot of nostalgia for it because I grew up in that era, but yeah it’s awful. The current logo is the perfect blend of old and modern hope we keep it forever.

I think I’d like it if the typeface was good.
Fallout-with-swords
This was also my childhood logo but overtime I grew to dislike it as a logo. The new one is so, so much better. I think the leaf by itself is fine but the lettering just looks off on it, like it doesn’t fit properly.
Deluxechin
I agree our current logo is far superior and every way, however, it’s still an iconic logo for the city of Toronto and I really wish they would use the silhouette of this leaf on the shoulders

As much as I dislike the logo I feel like it’s a perfect embodiment of the era that it represented.
Not that exciting, pretty mundane, and nothing that sticks out.
BlindGuyMcSqeazy
You re probably blind if it took you so long. This logo is terrible. It looks like some crappy generic communist logo.
thetonyhightower
It’ll always be the Ballard Logo to me, and everything that abusing pedo-enabling piece of shit touched wilted and died, including a half century of this franchise’s fortunes. Fuck him and everything connected to him.
Ok_Restaurant8623
Even as a kid I thought this logo was so boring and ugly. Glad its gone and if I never see it again on an official jersey it will be too soon.

I grew up with that logo, the new one is way, way better. I’m not nostalgic, the 80’s were the worst era in Leafs history.
