The loyalty of Toronto Maple Leafs fans is truly unmatched, according to a new ranking by Gambling.com.

The ranking, which is based on Instagram hashtags and posts, found that the Leafs are the most tattooed logo of any sports team, beating out NFL teams like the New England Patriots and Super Bowl 2020 winners, the Kansas City Chiefs.

Leafs fans even prevailed over their Ontario rivals the Ottawa Senators, who came in at 25. In a separate ranking of the most in-demand sports team tattoos, which is based on search volume, the Leafs ranked in 6th place, ahead of the Toronto Raptors in 14th place, and the Blue Jays in 67th.*
