Video leak appears to confirm Maple Leafs uniform design

Later today, the NHL is supposed to make the official announcement regarding the 2014 Winter Classic — a rescheduling of the Detroit-Toronto clash that was canceled this year due to the lockout.

But before that, here's another sneak peek at the jersey the Toronto Maple Leafs will sport — via a video posted Saturday on YouTube.

You'll note the end graphic of the video shows a slightly redesigned Winter Classic patch that now features the year, 2014. This appears to be a video produced for Real Sports Apparel that was meant to be released following the press conference.

The jersey design was leaked previously. This is just confirmation in advance of official word.

My thanks to Icethetics reader Adam who shared the video link here on the blog Saturday.
