Each of the 31 NHL clubs teased the release of an Adidas “reverse retro” jersey with a brief video tweet on Tuesday. Although the reveal was not complete, it appears that the Toronto Maple Leafs “new” sweater is blue and gray stripes and letters.



This appears to be a gimmicky move by the league to put out a jersey for the specific purpose of generating revenue, but based on the significant losses the NHL endured due to COVID-19, it is understandable. The Leafs have put out a number of throwback jerseys over the years honoring certain moments in their history.


1917 - 1919





The Toronto Arenas uniform was put out in 2017 as part of the celebration of the franchise entering their next century. They marked the occasion with a drubbing of the Carolina Hurricanes.


1919 - 1927



The Toronto St. Patricks jersey was worn in 2002 in celebration of the club’s 75th anniversary and brought back in 2019 for St. Patrick’s Day games.


1927 - 1930





This was the first blue and white Maple Leafs jersey in franchise history and was re-created for the 2014 outdoor game vs. the Detroit Red Wings at the “Big House” in Ann Arbor, MI on New Year’s Day.


1964



The ‘64 jersey was brought back as a throwback uniform before the Leafs changed back to the traditional Leaf emblem in 2016.


1967





This is the jersey of the last Cup winner 53 years ago. Check out this video of the semi-final series against Bobby Hull and the Chicago Blackhawks.
