Star: Leafs to make a logo change

it's good that they didn't change a lot about the logo. the absence of the strips make the player look a bit taller for sure. and the marlies uniform is nice as well.

Since there's so little difference between the old and new jerseys, I guess there's no comparison between the two. However I'm not a big fan yet of the RBK jerseys- I actually still prefer the older, slightly looser-fitting jerseys.

Since there's no mention about the third jersey with the old Leafs logo, my guess is that it will not be around next season. RIP again to the classy old logo?

Agree. I hate anything Calgary Flames, and that extends to the jersey with the flags. They are far from being "Canada's Team", and don't really deserve to have the national flag on their jerseys.

the NHL abolished the 3rd jersey. no team will have one this year.

i personally think that the new tighter jersey's will help with the gameplay. ref's will get to see better view of the stick and where it touches the body if it's something like hooking. same with players that hold the stick of the other players between their arms and bodies to force a penalty.

one other thing i would like changed concerning the gameplay is the 2 minute minor for delay of game when a puck goes over the boards without touching anyone. this should be more like an icing where the faceoff goes back into the teams zone.
 
^^ The team is all men. There is lots of meat!

I don't mind the new jerseys. I was expecting to not like them and was pleasantly surprised! I do miss those stripes at the bottom, I quite liked them.

speaking of domi...

Belinda Stronach and Tie Domi quietly split up over summer

TORONTO (CP) - The affair that steamed up ice rinks and titillated Parliament Hill is over.

Auto parts heiress and MP Belinda Stronach and former NHL tough guy Tie Domi are no longer an item, sources have told The Canadian Press. Their relationship, never acknowledged publicly by either the former Liberal cabinet minister or Domi, ended over the summer after the couple took a trip to California.

A spokesman for Stronach wouldn't comment on the breakup on Sunday, saying there was a standing policy in place not to discuss her personal life with the media.

The 41-year-old Stronach arrived for red carpet festivities at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sunday with a small group of people, including a mystery blond man. Stronach, wearing a blue cocktail dress, was attending the One X One charity gala hosted by Matt Damon. She stopped to pose and chat with photographers snapping pictures of her.

The MP for the Toronto-area riding of Aurora is recovering from breast cancer. She had a mastectomy and breast reconstruction surgery in June. Her stroll down the star-studded film festival red carpet on Sunday marked her first public appearance since her hospitalization.

Stronach's relationship with Domi became fodder for water cooler confabs after it became public a year ago. Domi's incensed wife named Stronach as the "other woman" in court documents.

Leanne Domi accused her apolitical husband of developing an unexpected and unseemly interest in Stronach's political career by rushing to campaign for her in the 2006 federal election.

"This was a very big surprise to me, and to our family, because Tie had little to no interest in politics, and in fact had not the slightest idea about political ideology or even the slightest inkling about the ideological differences between the candidates," she said.

The former Mrs. Domi claimed her husband and Stronach had poolside trysts while she was away.

Domi and Stronach took pains to avoid being seen in public together. When Stronach was on hand for the taping last February of the CBC show "Canada's Next Great Prime Minister," the former Leaf was spotted peeking out from behind a curtain at the back of the sound stage.

Stronach announced last spring that she would not seek re-election. She continues to be a prodigious fundraiser sought by Liberal candidates across the country, and has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy mosquito nets to prevent the spread of malaria and other diseases in Africa.

But the daughter of billionaire auto parts manufacturer Frank Stronach has made as much news for her romantic adventures as she has for her political ambitions. She began dating Peter MacKay, now the minister of National Defence, when both sat as Conservative opposition MPs.

That relationship ended with Stronach crossed the floor to enter the Liberal cabinet of former prime minister Paul Martin.

I guess they decided to stick with the logo. Lots of fuss for nothing. I figure they decided to not fix what wasn't broken. People like the Leafs logo... messing with it was bound to have ruffled some feathers.
 
New NHL logos...

Everybody: I looked at the posted links here and the one I like the best turned out to be the Columbus Blue Jackets-I like the addition of the Ohio State flag wrap and colors-I do not like the # style they use,though. There is nothing wrong with the Toronto Maple Leafs colors and graphics. I find the NY Islanders change a little interesting-perhaps I am biased being from LI but that classic logo grows on me-that mid 90s change to the fisherman logo- the one that almost no one liked as well as a threatened lawsuit by the Gorton's Seafood Company for trademark infringement got NYI brass to bring back the original logo and colors. Like the TML's today-if it is not broken do not fix it! LI MIKE
