1934-Mar17-Clancy jersey

King Clancy's jersey, March 17, 1934.

On March 17, 1934, the Toronto Maple Leafs played the Rangers and celebrated St. Patrick's Day by declaring it "King Clancy Night." Clancy wore a special green Maple Leafs jersey complete with a shamrock on the back instead of a number. Green pants, socks and stick completed the uniform. Rangers GM/coach Lester Patrick was aghast at Clancy's attire and convinced him to wear his regular Leafs uniform after the first period.
