| The Toronto Maple Leafs' 2016-17 NHL season logos. |
The logo was unveiled following Toronto's 4-3 overtime victory at the Boston Bruins.
"Toronto has a rich history and the logo means a lot to Leafs fans and the players and the organization, but after I see it I loved it ever since," Leafs center Nazem Kadri said. "I think everyone else is going to like it. I think it's a bit of an old-school look, but I think it's a look that works."
"As an organization, we wanted to get back to our roots, when Conn Smythe first changed the team logo to the Maple Leaf in 1927," team president Brendan Shanahan said in a statement. "Inspired by the badge that he and his fellow Canadian soldiers wore during World War I, Smythe wanted his team to wear the badge with 'honor, pride and courage.' That is our goal for the next chapter in Leafs history. We are committed to restoring the Toronto Maple Leafs to a proud and prominent place and this classic logo will connect the team's championship legacy with an exciting and proud future for our players, our city and for our fans."
