A new study reveals that the Toronto Maple Leafs logo is the most tattooed of any major sport in North America.
The research from Gambling.com used online searches to determine which sports team logos have been emblazoned the most on backs, biceps and boobs.
And lo and behold, it’s the Buds by a long shot.
“The tattoo industry is rapidly growing, with global search interest for tattoo shops averaging around 800,000 searches per month,” a press release said.
“Tattoos are a part of sports culture, so what better way to show die-hard dedication to your favourite sports team than to get their logo tattooed?”
The study found the Leafs are the most popular sports team tattoo to have — and underscoring the club’s devoted but often disappointed fan base.
The Leafs were the only NHL squad to make it in the Top 20. Following the Leafs in the top five are the Denver Broncos, Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers and New England Patriots.

In fact, besides the Buds, there isn’t a non-football team until the Chicago Cubs at 11.
The next highest-ranking NHL team is the Boston Bruins in 15th place. The Ottawa Senators come in at 25 while the Habs are further down the list.
The Raptors arrived in 39th place.
According to the study, five of the seven Canadian teams on the table are hockey teams.
Back in the U.S., the Dallas Cowboys logo is currently the most in-demand tattoo. The Buffalo Bills and the Chicago Bears are also popular.
But not only were the Toronto Maple Leafs the top sports team tattoo to have, they also ranked sixth for most in-demand tattoo, showing that even more Leafs fans are considering getting inked.
The Raptors also appear on the list at 14th but the heroes of the hardwood are outshone by Canadian NHL teams.
In the NBA, the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat are also highly sought after ink.
