The only thing that made seeing the Leafs lose to the Montreal Canadiens last weekend a little less painful, was the fact that the Canadiens wore those god-awful barber shop striped retro jerseys from 1912! There is a reason why those uniforms only lasted for one year. And that reason is…they are plain ugly! They also seem to be mighty distracting, hence I put partial blame for the Leafs’ loss in that game on those jerseys! And yes, the Leafs might have had a pretty bad season so far, but at least their retro uniforms are cool, and don’t resemble something that an inmate would wear. Just saying.

The Vancouver Canucks also had bad Jerseys in the 80s. http://assets.nydailynews.com/img/2009/01/29/gal_uniforms_canucks_1.jpg
