Leafs fans petition for return of old,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Patrick Clayton has been a Toronto Maple Leafs fan for as long as he can remember,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Growing up in Drumbo,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Ont.,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], just north of Woodstock,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the 27-year-old remembers the excitement of the 1993 playoffs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], when the team came within a game of the Stanley Cup final,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], before being felled by the Wayne Gretzky-led Los Angeles Kings.
Despite being too young to have watched the team during its Original Six heyday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he's aware of the Leafs' history,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and he wants to bring some of it back: he's backing a petition,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], started by another young fan,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to replace their current logo with the one they wore during their glory days.
The logo - a 35-pointed maple leaf,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with rounder edges than the current,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 11-point leaf - graced the team's jerseys as they won nine Stanley Cups,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], before being replaced at the end of the 1967 regular season. The team hasn't won the Cup since.
"When I look at it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I think of Johnny Bower,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], George Armstrong and those guys hoisting the Cup," he said. "There's always been a lot of feeling for the old logo, a lot of people identifying with it a bit more."
The idea for the petition was hatched on an Internet hockey message board, where many of the users felt the same way as Clayton. If it's a maple leaf,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then it's a Toronto team."
Rajani Kamath,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], communications director with Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], would not comment on the petition,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but notes the company has preserved the old logo on the team's alternate jerseys.
