Centennial Classic Jerseys (2016-17)

Last but not least is my personal favorite jersey of the decade–the Centennial Classic jerseys, which were worn during the Toronto Maple Leafs outdoor game on New Years Day 2017 against the Detroit Red Wings.

These jerseys were so nice in my eyes.

The white stripe across the middle of the chest with the white logo looked so clean on the outdoor rink.

I also really liked the silver lining across the top and bottom of the stripes. The uniform also gave a nod to the Toronto Arenas by featuring their T logo on the pants.

Everything worked on these jerseys and I’ll always hold them as one of my favorite Leafs jerseys ever.

To top things off, how can we ever forget the crazy game that these jerseys were used in?

The Leafs were celebrating their 100th season and were up against their historic rival. Although the Leafs did give up a 4-1 lead in the third period to the Red Wings, it was none other than Matthews who became the overtime hero and won the game for the Leafs with a storybook ending.

As we head into the 2020s, let’s hope for some more great jersey designs from the Leafs. Let me know which jerseys from this past decade were your personal favorites.
