Top 5 Worst Jerseys Worn by Toronto Maple Leafs Fans

HONOURABLE MENTION

Just Passing through

Okay, so your team acquired a big star or former star and you’re all excited. But unless that star is signed for multiple seasons it’s probably best to sit this jersey-purchase out.  One of the worst jerseys is the one you get of a player who only plays a few games for your team.  Summer comes, he signs somewhere else, and you’re left with a $200 mistake.

I know we were all excited when the Toronto Maple Leafs got Brian Leetch for only two first round picks and two prospects (Can you imagine what John Ferguson Jr. would have given up for Nick Foligno???) but Leetch played only a stretch-run and two playoff series for the Leafs and actually ended up playing in more than twice as many total games for the Bruins the following year.

The same thing goes for Owen Nolan and his 79 total games in Toronto (all stats from hockey-reference).

There is absolutely no reason to pass over the likes of Sittler, Keon, Gilmour, Salming, Mahovlich, Armstrong, Bower, Sundin or Clark, to simply name a few greats, in favour of an Eric Lindros jersey. He registered 22 points and was a -3 in 33 games for Toronto. Lin-Gross.

*Oh, and for those of you who happen to be (shudder) Vancouver Canucks fans, don’t you DARE parade around in a Mats Sundin jersey! That image is just wrong on so many levels.
