Article Archive #25 - Happy St. Patrick's Day

This post originally appeared on Hockey Jersey Concepts on July 8th, 2016.

Yesterday the Toronto Maple Leafs announced some plans for their Centennial Season, including unveiling an anniversary logo, and confirming they'll wear a new jersey for the Centennial Classic.  But most importantly they announced that the St. Pats are coming back for one game against Chicago Blackhawks on March 18.  Woohoo!

I'm extremely excited about the return of the St. Pats, I've been saying for years that the Leafs need to bring the Pats back once a year for St. Patrick's day.  Unfortunately, it sounds like this will only be a one time event instead of annual occurrence.

However, the question remains which St. Pats jersey should they wear for that one game?  The Toronto St. Pats wore five different jerseys during their short history (the Leafs previously brought back the 1926-27 jersey for one game in 2002).  Personally I'd like to see them bring back either the 1919-20/1921-22 jersey, or the 1922-25 jersey.  Vote for you favourite jersey with a comment in the comment section.
