Jerseys


1972-1974
A maple leaf shape-like logo along with a poppy to ice the cake. The jerseys for both the light and dark are simple stripes on the arms and hems and, for good measure, stripes on the yokes to complete the set.

1974-1976
The Legions changed the stripes to three thin stripes on both the arms and the hem. The team drop the stripes on the yokes. To add the final cherry on top of the team’s logo, they added metallic gold around the poppy.

1976-1983
As part of a league-wide rule to put nameplates on the back of the jerseys, the Legionnaires follow them and place them on their jerseys. They also redo the collar design to make their set look better.
