First major change to the logo since 1970

The Toronto Maple Leafs are looking to the past for a fresh look in the future.
The club has unveiled a new logo for the first time in more than 45 years.
It's a fresh take on the "classic Maple Leaf" emblem of Toronto teams from the 1940s to the 1960s and will serve as the team's primary crest beginning in the 2016-17 campaign, the club's centennial season.
The crest, with some slight alterations, aligns most closely to a version worn by the team from 1963 to '67, the most successful era in Maple Leafs history. The team hasn't won the Stanley Cup since 1967.
It's the fifth adjustment to the logo since the team changed its name from the Toronto St. Patricks to the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1927 and the first change of any kind since 1970.
The new logo resembles a real leaf more closely than the current insignia, which has sharper lines and blocky letters.
The jersey featuring the new logo will not be revealed until June's entry draft.
