This afternoon the Toronto Maple Leafs unveiled the jersey that players will wear during their “Next Century Game” scheduled for Tuesday December 19. The game commemorates the first official NHL game played by the hockey club in 1917.
The jersey is modeled after the sweaters of the original Toronto NHL team, the Toronto Arenas (1917-1919).
Sportsnet’s Chris Johnston gives us a better look at the full jersey here:
For historical accuracy, the game will begin at 2:00 pm Eastern. Slightly less historically accurate is that Leafs will be playing the Carolina Hurricanes.
