So it's really the end for ITG

[avs9601]

It's really sad, I've just saw than ITG seems to have put 100% of the production in the hands of Leaf, and by the look of this year Ultimate... this is awful..

Don't interested airbrushed logo, and even for the Junior level player... The design of Leaf, is really really awful...

I was a big fan of Heroes & Prospects, and it's seems it's the end...

Just check the ITG website, looks like ITG had given the control to Leaf for their brands

And the facts they're no news from ITG since.. a few month

I too heard itg would turn it over to leaf. Too bad I loved ITG.

Yes Leaf is now manufacturing the ITG products. Don't forget that ITG was a second career for Dr Price, so given the time and effort he put into the hobby over the past fifteen years I think he deserves a happy and healthy retirement. But back to my last question, where did you read about Leaf's intentions regarding Heroes and Prospects. Please share. Thanks

It was dentistry and eventually he owned a large Dental Group that had many offices.

My question still hasn't been answered so I will assume that the thread originator was merely speculating regarding Heroes and Prospects.

I would imagine most of what was said by the OP was speculative...however probably not that far off the mark. I have yet to see anything produced under the Leaf moniker that has impressed be at all. I can live with some of the design choices, but the airbrushing is just horrendous. It reminds me of the cards you used to get out of your Frosted Flakes or Frito Lay chips as a kid. And the fact that Leaf is going out of its way to airbrush the goalie masks, when it was NEVER done by ITG in the past is baffling.

So this is merely a thread commenting on Leaf's past airbrushing of crests and masks, with a few speculations on the side but no new substantiated details regarding the products to be released.
