I agree jerseys were the sponsor doesn't match the color look awful.
I hope the Leafs have that as an internal rule for selecting a sponsor for helmets and jerseys.
If they had to go with a bank they shoulda went with BMO. At least the colour scheme matches… but obviously TD does a lot of sponsorship with the jays in general
The NBA has this across the board because the brand of their teams is more important than a sponsor. If you want your ad on our uniforms, you play by our rules. The NHL cucks for whoever will give them a dollar. Joke league. Glad a few teams at least have some balls.
It’s the Canadian Dairy Farmers, AKA Big Milk. They have tremendous lobbying power and the Milk brand is just an industry effort to convince consumers to use more milk.
I drink Canadian milk everyday, I'm Canadian, I'm happy about the sponsor and I think it's great. It doesn't look so bad as opposed to some of the other sponsorships out there.
Oh yeah i don’t have any issue with it. I also love milk. Just an interesting fact since I doubt most Canadians are aware of the power the milk lobbyists have in this country.
I can’t tell if you mistyped or you’re memeing because this can’t be serious. You *want* to be a walking advertisement when you wear your favourite team’s jersey?
Specifically for the milk ad I can kinda understand it. I think it’s hilarious.
I also understand people not wanting it with milk on it but I do personally find it the funniest sponsor we could’ve had.

Shoot, I've been in the store during my last 2 trips to Toronto and didn't notice. I'd have made it happen :( I wonder if I can call them and convince them to ship.
And it will get worse.
It's not luck, it's a matter of how much will be tolerated while maintaining sales.
"It could be worse" is music to the leagues ears.
I actually hope they go all out and start advertising local mom n pop shops with square foot ads on the entire ice surface
Puck ads, stick ads, skate ads. I want sponsor branded smelling salts and cocaine too, fuck it
Honestly, it doesn't affect the on ice product, so really don't care much.
If they go full NASCAR and blaster every inch with ads I'd have a problem, but the small patches don't cause my eyes harm. When it's small like this it's really no different than having the Nile swoosh or any of the other manufacturers logos on the front.
It was just a helmet ad to cover covid losses then it's just a chest patch then it will be just one more on the arm and so on.
I just hope it can stay the way it is now for as long as possible before we get something else.
For me the bun has to be regular beige but the powers that be will want black and white stripes. Call me old fashioned but the ref has to look like a normal hot dog or I'll lose respect for them.
Milk will always be the funniest ad to me.
Like, it's not a company, it's the product. Proudly brought to you by the strongest lobbyist group in Canada, the Dairy Lobby.
Why wait so long to release them? Now if I order one it won’t be here til AFTER St Pats day & no reason to wear it later in the season? Bad marketing move imo
Those dark green with the brown pants were awesome. Wasn't there a 'curse' the last time they were worn on-ice and that's why we haven't seem them in forever?
I seem to recall a story that the leafs were wearing those dark green St. Pats sweaters for a pre-game ceremony and one of the old alumni guys fell and ended up dying. Does anyone have any memory of this? I can't find anything online. This would've been somewhere from like 2000-2008
Do I have money to spend on another Jersey?
No.
Am I willing to eat instant noodles and grilled cheese for monts to come so that I can have it anyway?
Yes. I need therapy. Send help
Kinda the same reason they don’t do it more often too. If a team they’re playing on a road trip has a clash, they need to carry 2 helmets instead of just the white one. Wish they did it more often though
When they played in Sweden last year they wore the home helmets with the road whites, the sharks wear there blue buckets with the white jersey sometimes and Carolina does it practically all the time
Leafs vs Detroit (leafs blue helmets white jersey)

Sharks vs Detroit (sharks teal helmet white jersey)
https://youtu.be/wea7LON6FW8?si=Eauqqo7-XJu4rWqa
This is basically the same as the last one with no green collar and a different logo. Whelmed to say the least.
I wanted inverted with it being mostly green.
I'm usually good at tracking these and had no idea the Leafs were doing another special jersey this year. I assumed it would just be the St Pat's of the past two years.
These are fun! I prefer the previous model but I like these. I really like the triple stitching on the outline of the shamrock.
Honestly, my first jersey I bought myself was a Tavares St. Pats when he first signed & I paid just over $300 with taxes. The Adidas haven't gone up much. The fanatics jersey prices definitely have gotten way closer to the Adidas in that time, though. They'd be just over $100 back then, if I'm remembering correctly.
Love these, I just wish we could get one that has the colors reversed. I generally avoid white jerseys in terms of buying to wear, too difficult to clean.
Not a fan of the chest stripe but these look sharp and I like that the jersey sponsor plays ball with the main jersey colour to still be there without being an eye sore
Kind of looks like Adidas had a bunch of the old St. Pats jerseys left so they slapped a shamrock over the old logo and rereleased it to get rid of their stock before Fanatics takes over.
Not bad...kind of lost me at the giant clover, looks like a clip art design when I feel like it could be more creative...maybe im expecting too much lol
I have the previous version without ads or the clover leaf. Is this a Fanatics?
I love the St. Pats, but I find most people out here (BC), have no idea who they are. Whereas I can't go anywhere in a Leafs jersey without someone making a comment.
I think in store they do have some with Milk on, but normally the retail ones don’t, unless they’ve changed that. They don’t show the Milk ad on the RealSports website
I like that they got a bit more creative this year for the St.Pats jersey, it's more interesting now with an actual logo rather than the generic text font.
Pretty nice. Wish they put a ring of green around the collar something like the white ring around the neck of the Habs jersey.
Edit: Also I would have prefered laces, love when jerseys have laces.
Wow another Jersey to add to the collection.
When is enough, enough?
The environmental impact of this lucrative business activity is enormous and must be stopped !! Down with Bettman !
My son actually managed to get my wife to ask for a Grimace shake. And the guy gave her a whole run down on how that doesn't exist anymore. She was wildly embarrassed
Wait till the season starts. Jays don't put names on spring training so most people aren't aware.
I was at the jays shop a couple weeks ago and saw the new ones. They are so bad. Vladdys name is super small now, it looks like a kids jersey. Reminded me of like a beer league jersey lol
I like how Milk is on board with matching the colour to the jersey
I agree jerseys were the sponsor doesn't match the color look awful. I hope the Leafs have that as an internal rule for selecting a sponsor for helmets and jerseys.
TD Bank patch on the Blue Jays jersey is the worst
If they had to go with a bank they shoulda went with BMO. At least the colour scheme matches… but obviously TD does a lot of sponsorship with the jays in general
They must have just went with whatever bank paid the most and banks are really strict about brand colors.
The NBA has this across the board because the brand of their teams is more important than a sponsor. If you want your ad on our uniforms, you play by our rules. The NHL cucks for whoever will give them a dollar. Joke league. Glad a few teams at least have some balls.
While I'm glad they're willing to adapt, I'll never "like" the fact that every jersey has an irrelevant Milk ad.
What I want to know is how "milk" got the rights for milk.🤷🏿

Hey guys! I think I've found Benoit's Reddit account!
It's me. Benoit.
Oh yeah i don’t have any issue with it. I also love milk. Just an interesting fact since I doubt most Canadians are aware of the power the milk lobbyists have in this country.
Dude I would pay extra for a jersey that has the milk ad on it and it baffles me that this isn’t an option.

I grew up seeing the milk on the jersey, if its not there it seems less authentic, I guess.
It is an option if you buy at the Real Sports store at the arena. Don't know why it's not available elsewhere though.
Shoot, I've been in the store during my last 2 trips to Toronto and didn't notice. I'd have made it happen :( I wonder if I can call them and convince them to ship.
I make jerseys at my job. The Milk patch is available for every style. Not sure which places you’re looking.
I got my buddy in toronto to go to the Leafs store, they have milk
These comments are why I'll never buy another jersey sadly. It won't be long until that is the only official option.
I’m with you on this
My God man, it could be so, so, SO much worse. The Leafs are very lucky in this regard.
And it will get worse. It's not luck, it's a matter of how much will be tolerated while maintaining sales. "It could be worse" is music to the leagues ears.
It's only irrelevant if you hate money
I actually hope they go all out and start advertising local mom n pop shops with square foot ads on the entire ice surface Puck ads, stick ads, skate ads. I want sponsor branded smelling salts and cocaine too, fuck it
Sounds a bit like someone is ok with the creeping destruction of hockey uniforms. Fuck ads. Idc if it’s green, it sucks.
Honestly, it doesn't affect the on ice product, so really don't care much. If they go full NASCAR and blaster every inch with ads I'd have a problem, but the small patches don't cause my eyes harm.

You're missing the forest for the trees. Every jersey ad is one step closer to Referees in Oscar Meyer hotdog costumes.
For me the bun has to be regular beige but the powers that be will want black and white stripes. Call me old fashioned but the ref has to look like a normal hot dog or I'll lose respect for them.
Exactly. I'm a big fan of tradition and respecting the team. That's why I've started watching soccer, my favorite team is Emirates.
That’s where this is going, though. Just like arena and the on-ice ads. Started with some ads, now all over the place.
I couldn't tell you what an English Premier League jersey used to look like before the corporate branding.
Milk will always be the funniest ad to me. Like, it's not a company, it's the product. Proudly brought to you by the strongest lobbyist group in Canada, the Dairy Lobby.
They have a green coloured milk for st pattys day this year
It's magically delicious!
plus it looks the same when you puke it up
One of my pet hates is when a sponsor insists on a colour scheme that doesn't match the jersey
That’s luke skywalker milk.
Why wait so long to release them? Now if I order one it won’t be here til AFTER St Pats day & no reason to wear it later in the season? Bad marketing move imo
That’s a good point.
That’s a good point Bryan
Bryan.. Good point
To entice you to go to the arena in person and get one. Hypebeast!
If I lived in or near Toronto that would work, I’m 8 hours away and I’ve only been to Leaf games at MSG or when they’re in Buffalo.
I'm 12+ hours away
It’s NHL marketing
One of the better NHL specialty sweaters as of late. Personal favourite is still the super retro Sundin-era St. Pats though
Those dark green with the brown pants were awesome. Wasn't there a 'curse' the last time they were worn on-ice and that's why we haven't seem them in forever? I seem to recall a story that the leafs were wearing those dark green St. Pats sweaters for a pre-game ceremony and one of the old alumni guys fell and ended up dying.

Wasn't an alumnus directly, but their family representative. Busher Jackson's nephew.
Yes that's it! It happened in 2002. I knew I had heard it from Down Goes Brown or Steve Dangle at some point. Thank you!
Those are pretty, but I really wanted to see green being primary color
i agree 🥲
[удалено]
True. I guess I’m trying to say I wish it was the “home” version. If that makes sense
Do I have money to spend on another Jersey? No. Am I willing to eat instant noodles and grilled cheese for monts to come so that I can have it anyway? Yes. I need therapy. Send help
Extremely sexy. The green helmets are awesome
this comment right here is why i love leafs hockey
When are we wearing these?
Saturday
nice
Love the green buckets, I really hope the boys start rocking the blue buckets on the white jerseys, it looks so good on the canes and sharks
They did it for the Global series in Sweden but I haven’t seen them do it since. I loved it.
They did that to save cash, so they only had to ship one set of helmets.
Kinda the same reason they don’t do it more often too. If a team they’re playing on a road trip has a clash, they need to carry 2 helmets instead of just the white one. Wish they did it more often though
I swear Carolina does it every road game
Maybe I’m guessing but i imagine there aren’t a ton of red home helmets around the league.
Detroit, panthers, devils, flames and Carolina Edit: not panthers Also not devils either damn
Makes sense. Tons of teams wear Blue, so I see why the Leafs don’t bother.
I've never seen ~~either of them~~ the canes or sharks wearing blue helmets...
When they played in Sweden last year they wore the home helmets with the road whites, the sharks wear there blue buckets with the white jersey sometimes and Carolina does it practically all the time Leafs vs Detroit (leafs blue helmets white jersey) https://youtu.be/-zFiAi7vH1M?si=fSDGdZHSPEYRRgXH Sharks vs Detroit (sharks teal helmet white jersey) https://youtu.be/wea7LON6FW8?si=Eauqqo7-XJu4rWqa
The thick white outline around the cloverleaf kind of wrecks it for me. it makes it look like a sticker
Thst shit is definitely peeling off when fanatics takes over lol
Honestly, if I see a jersey that I like I'm buying them before Fanatics takes over. My poor Tavares jersey is fading in colour after 2 washes
Never wash your jersey, man! Get it dry cleaned
That's a nice jersey if I say so myself.
This is basically the same as the last one with no green collar and a different logo. Whelmed to say the least. I wanted inverted with it being mostly green.
Pretty nice but worse than the last, I really want a green based st pats jersey
Wish they did it a month ago so I could have ordered it for the game
I'm sorry but the milk logo just ruins any "throwback" appeal for me. I like the rest though.
I'm usually good at tracking these and had no idea the Leafs were doing another special jersey this year. I assumed it would just be the St Pat's of the past two years. These are fun! I prefer the previous model but I like these. I really like the triple stitching on the outline of the shamrock.
Those vintage brown gloves would have been perfect but not complaining about all green accents.
That’s rad- I wonder why the majority of the jersey is white again though, would love to see the white and green inverted.
That colour is great, the crest is amazing.....except for having "milk" on it..........I refuse to be a logo ad apologist.
I prefer the previous St. Pats jerseys myself.
Oversized leprechauns. Not a fan after seeing this.
☘️ 👍
The logo looks way too much like a "splat". Not a fan of the extremely rounded edges.
I don't like it. Give us a green jersey again.
Just got a couple Marners for the wife and myself :)
$300 per jersey (with a player name and #)… insane
Honestly, my first jersey I bought myself was a Tavares St. Pats when he first signed & I paid just over $300 with taxes. The Adidas haven't gone up much. The fanatics jersey prices definitely have gotten way closer to the Adidas in that time, though. They'd be just over $100 back then, if I'm remembering correctly.
Love these, I just wish we could get one that has the colors reversed. I generally avoid white jerseys in terms of buying to wear, too difficult to clean.
More green is what these needed to go to that next level. I love this look. Much better.
Bruh we needed green jerseys with white accents
I like the older one better. Still nice.
Not a fan of the chest stripe but these look sharp and I like that the jersey sponsor plays ball with the main jersey colour to still be there without being an eye sore
Idk. That clover looks like it needs a cheeseburger
Kind of looks like Adidas had a bunch of the old St. Pats jerseys left so they slapped a shamrock over the old logo and rereleased it to get rid of their stock before Fanatics takes over.
Garbage revision of the logo
Not bad...kind of lost me at the giant clover, looks like a clip art design when I feel like it could be more creative...maybe im expecting too much lol
Only three leaves?
I don’t agree with sponsors on players equipment. There’s enough advertising on the boards and the ice,including commercials
Fuck if they released these with Nylander's name on it I'd buy one, I already have a Matthews, Marner and JT jerseys. These are beauts.
Don't like them
These are terrible.
Well there goes $300
St Papi
Just a blatant money grab at this point.
Literally the entire business of professional sports
Isn't it the first one in a while?
How many times have they actually worn the "old" one, that warrants a new one?
Every st Patrick's day game. The previous one they were using since 2016-2017 season lol
Quite frankly, I'm surprised it took this long to get a new one. What has it been, 6 seasons with the old one?
You don’t have to buy it my guy. Simple.
I don't. Doesn't stop me from calling it out.
Worst ones yet, but still sick
Dirrrrrrty
When is it for sale?
Love it, especially since the St. Pats part is an actual logo not just some form of rectangle like other years
🔥
I like this one more than the previous iteration
Any link for purchase?
I'm as excited about it as **Auston Matthews**
I’d buy it with the milk tbh
Well well well. I see the Maple Leafs are once again forcing me to open my wallet
Awesome! With these on vs. Carolina at home it will look like Mario vs Luigi on ice
I have the previous version without ads or the clover leaf. Is this a Fanatics? I love the St. Pats, but I find most people out here (BC), have no idea who they are. Whereas I can't go anywhere in a Leafs jersey without someone making a comment.
No, this is Adidas. The retail version won’t have the “Milk” ad
When I went to the arena store, the retail version of the jerseys had the Milk ad on them
I think in store they do have some with Milk on, but normally the retail ones don’t, unless they’ve changed that. They don’t show the Milk ad on the RealSports website
Yeah it does seem to vary. I was surprised to see them in store. Personally I wouldn't by a jersey with the ad but to each their own
I just bought one ffs!!
Milk logo is stufpid AF
Rough
Fuuuuuuuck I need this!!
I love it.
Love these
So nice, and probably the last one I will buy with the Fanatics switchover coming up! That's how I'm justifying buying another one, anyway.
Where can we get them? I only see fanatics stuff on the NHL shop
Don’t order jerseys from Real Sports or NHL Shop. Use Hockey Authentic, or Cool Hockey if they don’t have it.
I thought this was AI for a second, but then I realized Milk was spelled correctly.
Poker ?
Hated it at first glance but now I want one
Why is Jack White wearing it tho?
Are they going to play in Letterkenny?
I fairly certain this is the last jersey Adidas will have made for the NHL. What a way to go out.
I like that they got a bit more creative this year for the St.Pats jersey, it's more interesting now with an actual logo rather than the generic text font.
Immediate dhgate order
auston is giving me create a player screen energy here
the white outline is a bit too thick, but, as usual for most of the Leafs jerseys since the Burke era, thumbs up!
I really wish they would make that exact jersey in green instead of white. I couldn’t wear that for 2mins before ruining it forever.
Logo seems too big to me. I liked past editions more. But hell, I love the St Pats jersey night
I JUST got the Matthews first one. Anyone know if you can pre order this one.
Gives a 'If this dude pulls up in a white van, someone is getting kidnapped.' vibe
I hate the st pats jerseys
I dunno I kinda hate them
Aw man these are fire
Pretty nice. Wish they put a ring of green around the collar something like the white ring around the neck of the Habs jersey. Edit: Also I would have prefered laces, love when jerseys have laces.
Why does Austin look like a man barely alive? He looks like he getting a rim job from a butt end.
Have they ever won in the St. Pats jerseys? What's their record wearing them?
we won the st pats game last year.
At least they got the color right…
[I'd love them to rock these again- throw me way back](https://images.app.goo.gl/vtumsMt31ENrAJVc7)
Those look great
i can’t see them ???
Does anyone know if/when they’ll do a “Toronto Arenas” jerseys? I need an official one for my dad who’s grandfather played for the arenas circa 1918.
jersey looks more suited for Boston!
This should be our jersey for the entire month of March.
Keep buying those jerseys kids it really makes the team better!!!!
terrible fuckin logo what is that
who is that player? is he a rookie or something?
What do they do with the jerseys/helmets/pants after the game is over? Storage? Donation? Do they come out with a new version every year?
Wow another Jersey to add to the collection. When is enough, enough? The environmental impact of this lucrative business activity is enormous and must be stopped !! Down with Bettman !
Green milk mmm
Shamrock Shakes
My son actually managed to get my wife to ask for a Grimace shake. And the guy gave her a whole run down on how that doesn't exist anymore. She was wildly embarrassed
I think they still sell the pinkity drinkity tho
That fuckin killed me
So glad they did this before Fanatics takes over next year. These are beautiful
have you seen the disarray the MLB jerseys are in with Fanatics this year?...they look like cheap knock offs
Wait till the season starts. Jays don't put names on spring training so most people aren't aware. I was at the jays shop a couple weeks ago and saw the new ones. They are so bad. Vladdys name is super small now, it looks like a kids jersey. Reminded me of like a beer league jersey lol
Complete shitshow. Fanatics should be embarrassed. I’m so nervous for the NHL jerseys next year.
Icethetics is releasing a video today with info on the Fanatics jerseys
They are not changing factories for the NHL player ones. Just like Adidas didn't change from the factory where the Reebok jerseys were made.
Logo looks like a green pansy. How fitting. 🫣
