0028: Green-a-thon Classic
Saturday · Mar 17 · 2012 | 9:00 AM PDT 3 Comments
It's St. Patrick's Day and this is where two features, Green-a-thon Week and Winter Classic Weekends, collide. In 1927, the Toronto St. Pats became the Toronto Maple Leafs and for a short time, the Leafs continued to wear the green. It seems that's where Nick Burton is taking his cues for this jersey — a very brief moment in history. But it was designed for a Winter Classic and today is St. Patrick's Day. It was the obvious concept to post — even if it is unrealistic as a jersey for the big outdoor game.

Makes more sense than a blue leaf. Who the hell has ever seen a blue maple leaf before?
I'd actually be sold on this concept if it weren't for the offset number on the back of the jersey and the small sleeve numbers. Needs a tertiary color, like a black on the inside of the font
Anyone else realize the extra stripe on the skater? Is that supposed to be there?
