<P> With Reebok taking over the NHL jersey contract following the 2004 - 05 lockout, changes were expected when the Edge uniform system was set to debut in 2007 . As part of the Edge overhaul, the TML monograms were removed from the shoulders, the silver outlines on the numbers were replaced with blue or white outlines (e.g. the blue home jersey featured white numbers with blue and white outlines, rather than blue and silver), and the waistline stripes were removed . In 2010, the two waistline stripes were restored, the vintage leaf returned to the shoulders, and the player names and numbers were changed again, reverting to a simpler single - color block font . Finally, lace - up collars were brought back to the primary uniforms . The Leafs also brought back the 1967 - 70 blue uniform, replacing the white 1960s jersey as their third uniform . For the 2014 NHL Winter Classic the Leafs wore a sweater inspired by their earlier uniforms in the 1930s . </P> <P> On February 2, 2016, the team unveiled a new logo for the 2016--17 season in honour of its centennial, dropping the use of the Kabel - style font lettering used from 1970; it returns the logo to a form inspired by the earlier designs, with 31 points to allude to the 1931 opening of Maple Leaf Gardens, and 17 veins a reference to its establishment in 1917 . 13 of the veins are positioned along the top part in honour of its 13 Stanley Cup victories . The logo was subsequently accompanied by a new uniform design that was unveiled during the 2016 NHL Entry Draft on June 24, 2016 . In addition to the new logo, the new uniforms feature a custom block typeface for the player names and numbers . Two stripes remain on the sleeves, with a single stripe at the waistline . The updated design carried over to the Adidas Adizero uniform system in 2017 . </P> <P> The Maple Leafs have in recent years occasionally worn a St. Pats throwback uniform for select games in 2003 and 2017, the latter as part of the franchise's centennial celebration . For the 2018 season, the Leafs also wore a Toronto Arenas - inspired throwback design . In addition, the Leafs participated in two outdoor games as part of the NHL's own centennial celebration . In the NHL Centennial Classic against the Red Wings, the Leafs wore blue sweaters with bold white stripes across the chest and arms . For the 2018 NHL Stadium Series, the Leafs wore white uniforms with two blue stripes across the chest and arms, and in an unusual move, paired this uniform with white pants . </P> <P> The Maple Leafs' mascot is Carlton the Bear, an anthropomorphic polar bear whose name and number (#60) comes from the location of Maple Leaf Gardens at 60 Carlton Street, where the Leafs played throughout much of their history . Carleton made his first public appearance on July 29, 1995 . He later made his regular season appearance on October 10, 1995 . </P>
