Drifting their way through year five of The Rebuild That Refused To Start.

This is the rebuild, that’s why they suck so hard. I’m still pumped to be a Leafs fan and I can’t wait to watch them play out the string. The shitty players will be gone soon and who knows what kind of talent we can pick up in the offseason? Kadri’s becoming Killer Part Deux, Kessel just needs a player or two to help him out on the 1st line, and I’m so confident that the Monster is going to become an elite goaltender.

We can’t get down on ourselves or our Leafs when the night is darkest before the dawn!

It’s hard to find optimism with this team right now, but dammit I’m gonna try. I’ll be damned if I let this bunch suck the life out of me. I’m obviously not happy with this team right now nor should I be, nor should any of us be. But there are signs of hope and things to look forward to in the future, so I’m going to focus on those. And in the meantime let’s hope the team sucks less than it has lately.

It's like a picture of a guy holding a picture of a guy but it's not the same guy they're just wearing the same clothes.

PuckDrawn’s logo is kinda funny. It’s a picture of a guy wearing a jersey but the jersey doesn’t have the logo of the guy wearing the jersey on it. The funny thing is I actually kind of like the logo on the jersey of the guy in the logo.

I can’t handle even looking at those new logos right now. I need the old blue and white right now.

i actually really like this one. The logos are quite striking.

I have nothing interesting to say.

i realize this is just an exercise in artistry

but i hate redesigns of the leafs. look at what happened to the jays, they changed everything every 2 years to the point where they lost all meaning in their brand, ended up with a non-descript black/grey combo, and are now realizing that they should have never changed from the c. 92-93 kits.

appreciate the depth & history of what you already have; if you think steak should taste like chocolate then you dont deserve to eat.

kudos to the artists for their efforts nonetheless.

You Young Guys

From G. Boreschevsky’s Blog:

“I want the team to get younger, even if that means that they don’t get better right away. Chemistry is something that takes time and needs to develop internally. Players that are past their prime, on their way out of town, just stopping through, or just hangin’ on, are hard to connect with on a personal level and there’s no room for spiritual growth or bonding. A player’s relationship with the team is non-existent if he’s beyond the ability to improve, yet unable to help others around him improve either.”

I second this thought process
