Details Emerge About New Toronto Maple Leafs Uniforms | Chris Creamer

They won't be officially unveiled until Friday evening but SportsLogos.Net has learned a few details about what the new uniforms of the Toronto Maple Leafs will look like. Thanks to a series of Tweets from Twitter user @13WillieBeamen, the content of which was later confirmed to us by two other sources, we now know the Leafs will be going with a very basic design, more basic even than what the club wore this past season.

No shoulder logos or yoke, a single wide stripe at the waist, two stripes on each arm, a lace-up collar, and the new primary logo on the chest.

Click through for the mock-ups. We'll have to wait for the final product but I like them going for a simple and clean look.

So many prospect profiles, guys. So many. That last one features some comments from our Fearless Leader. Oh, also Corey Pronman had a fun time on twitter making fun of prospect comparables

Matthews reminds me of Toews except he has never been an elite defensive center and scored more in pro than Jon did in NCAA at same age.
