    The Maple Leafs have ditched the previous look, which had a vertical line appear between the numbers on the back.

    The Toronto Maple Leafs are going to be sporting a brand new look when they put on their St. Pats jerseys for their annual St. Patrick's Day game.

    The club unveiled the new look with the help of PWHL Toronto hockey player Sarah Nurse while playing Electronic Arts' NHL '24 game.

    The new look is a lot cleaner than the past design, which was often criticized for its block patch numbers that made it appear like there was a No. 1 between any double-digit number.

    The stripe is still in the new look, however, it's only around the arms and front side of the jersey, while the back features a clean white look.

    The Leafs were known as the Toronto St. Pats from 1919 to 1927 before the club was sold and renamed to their current Maple Leafs name. The club is set to unveil the jerseys on March 16 when they host the Carolina Hurricanes
