The team is named after the Canadian flag, which has a Maple Leaf on it. The nickname "The Buds" fits because leaves on trees come from buds! Many leaf fans refer to their team as "the leafs"

Toronto changed team name to Maple Leafs in 1926. Canada adopted the Leaf flag in 1965. So not named after the flag.
