This morning the Toronto Maple Leafs unveiled the new design for St. Pat’s throwback jerseys that will be worn for the first time on March 18th versus the Chicago Blackhawks:
The throwback celebrates the name they Maple Leafs had when Conn Smythe purchased the team in 1927; The Toronto St. Patrick’s.
From 1919 until 1927 the Toronto St. Patrick’s played in the Mutual Street Arena, and over those eight seasons they lost two NHL finals (to the Canadiens and original Senators), and defeated the Vancouver Millionaires in 1922 to win the Stanley Cup.
