The Maple Leafs dropped their Centennial Classic uniform Monday, with the club saying its “signature look” will be worn for the Jan. 1 game against Detroit at BMO Field. The jersey combines “important elements of our club’s past, but also our present and future as it features the new Maple Leaf crest,” Leafs president Brendan Shanahan said in a statement. The Leafs motto for this season — honour, pride and courage — has been stitched into the neck line of the new jerseys. The overall graphic design features an all-blue top with a horizontal band of white across the chest, with the Leafs logo. The band of white represents a link to the Toronto St. Patrick’s jersey, which was worn by the franchise circa 1922-25.
