Stamped onto ice and stitched onto jerseys for over a century, the Toronto Maple Leafs logo carries the weight of a franchise deeply embedded in hockey history, and this guide shows how to draw the Toronto Maple Leafs logo step by step alongside other NHL logos on the site. The navy leaf with its white text and vein lines is more structured than it looks, but breaking it down makes the whole thing approachable.
What Makes This Logo Tricky to Sketch
The tutorial runs 19 steps and finishes with a fully colored result in deep navy blue with white details. Most of the challenge sits in the leaf border, where the jagged serrated edges need consistent sizing to read cleanly, and in aligning the bold TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS text so it sits centered within the leaf shape. Getting those proportions right takes most of the early steps.
Key Visual Features of the Logo
- Large maple leaf silhouette shape
- White vein details on leaf segments
- Bold white text reads TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS
- Jagged serrated edges around leaf border
- Stem visible at bottom of leaf
If you are working through NHL team logos, the Vancouver Canucks logo and the New York Rangers shield are solid next stops after this one, each with their own structural challenges worth practicing.
Understanding the Step Color Coding
Each step image uses a three-color system to show exactly what is new versus what came before:
- Red Color: lines added in the current step.
- Black Color: lines completed earlier.
- Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
