As a hardcore Flyers fan, so I hate both of these teams. However, there is just more to the Devils logo, with the NJ in it. The Leafs logo is just too plain for me.
I've always liked the Devils logo, just because it has more connection to the teams actual name (the horns, tail, red colour, etc.) The leafs logo, meanwhile, is simply that... a Maple leaf, can't get much simpler than that... And I've never been one for simple logos... My vote: The Devils
yesterday jersey was up by like 200 votes now it's a 2 vote difference this could be the closest atch of the whole tourney
I've never really liked the NJD's logo, I don't really like the color scheme. The thing I don't like about this competition, the Leafs logo is originated from one made back in 1926, the devils 82. I would say I like the Leafs logo better, purely because I like the blue and white color scheme better. I wish that he would use the Leafs alternate logo.
Wow, just 11 votes separate the two logos (1120 to 1109 in favor of the Leafs) as I write my comments.
I voted for the Devils logo because of the creative way the "NJ" is incorporated into their primary logo. Don't get me wrong, the Leafs primary logo is nice and classic, but what the Devils did with their is the only thing that decided it for me.
eww leafs winning, i find the background behind their logo more interesting than the logo itself.
I think someone may have posted this poll in leafs forums everywhere.. hehe. They've sure had an amazing surge in the last day, and now lead.
Gotta hand it to those leaf fans, they're pretty rabid.
i'm gonna post this in the devils forum to make sure the leafs don't wrongfully win the tourney
nvm now that i think of it that would probably make sure the devs win the tourney

So all 20 of their board fans could vote? Devils fans won't come close to out weighing the Leafs.
leafs, without a second though. and i hate the leafs. smooth, classic colours and logo. it is what it is, and it's great. the devils logo tries to be more then it is. at first you think it's rather cleaver the way they worked in the N and J into the logo, until you realize that the N and J is the logo. that's it, nothing else. with the sharks logo it was very original the way they worked the S and J into the OVERALL picture. but for the devils logo there is nothing more then the letters, no overall picture. imo it is very over rated as one of the best logo's in the league.
I dunno. The NJ forms a sort of man figure that reminds the viewer of the Jersey Devil, the Origin of the Team Logo. I think that gets the point across. The maple leaf does too but isn't the canadian flag a leaf also? Kinda confusing if you ask me.
A leaf isn't very creative. Devs get my vote.
this is going back and forth come on fans of the leafs logo or leafs fan vote for the leafs we had the lead i did my part do yours. p.s GO LEAFS GO!!!
Jersey Come on and raise up...it'll be a cold day in hell when we loose to a freakin' piece of foliage
Two excellent logos, although I prefer the old-school maple leaf with all of the veins. Of course, if Gary Bettman was running this poll, NJ and the Canadian teams would be discouraged from submitting their logos. He'd prefer Sun Belt matchups...something like Phoenix vs. Carolina.
And as for us Jersey people rigging the vote, well, I guess you don't know how we practice democracy here in the Garden State. I was always told that the most reliable election district in town was Holy Name Cemetery, with a 100% voter turnout. :)
devils fans are riggin it. any logo encased in an unnecessary circle can't stand on its own two feet.
Can everyone stop saying its rigged when ever their team starts losing.
Seriously, why would anyone try to rig it? You can't, people have tried. And if they can, oh well. It's not like the team who wins gets some huge prize or something (less I missed that).
As for my vote, I picked the Devils- partly cuz I love the Devils, partly cuz I think it's a little more creative than a leaf with the team's name on it.

Why is that? Are you afraid that the Leafs are going to lose in a poll that doesn't really mean anything?
Ok... How is this a contest? The fact is, the Devils will win this, and in the end, a stupid, non-classic logo will win this tourny. Why the Leafs logo will not make it past the first round is bloody beyond me, and if this were a real poll,by non-homer fans or a neutral party, they would be a top 5 contender.
I don't think there are enough Devils fans to rig the tournamemt. I'm a Flyers fan, and I'm still voting for the Devils.
I don't care for either logo. I like all pre-1970 versions of the leafs logo, but the current one lacks character. And I've never like the NJ logo. I don't see the creativity, others have noted, of putting an N and J together. It looks like something anyone could have came up with scribbling on a napkin in a few seconds. I voted for the leafs logo because I dislike it less.
I voted the Leafs, it's one of the oldest logo's in the league, it represents a very strong fanbase, a tradition, and a great history. Players such as Daryl Sittler, Bobby Baun, Dit Clapper, Tim Horton, Terry Sawchuck, Red Kelley. For those who say that it lacks creativity, you don't mess with something that has been around for at least 80 years. The Leafs logo is a classic, and will never change!!!!
I voted for the Devils because I've always loved the logo. It accomplishes a lot with the way the NJ and devil horns work together to represent state folklore and the team namesake, yet still looks deceptively simple. The Leafs logo just isn't as visually appealing or complex, no matter how "classic" Leafs fans say a leaf with the team name is.
And for pete's sake, it's just an poll. It's just something to pass the time, no need to get so hung up on whether people are rigging it or not. Even if you could do that, why bother?
