CC97 Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 After attending today's Jays/Mariners blow-out I ran into Jays president Paul Godfrey outside the stadium and asked him about the team wearing retro uniforms... he told me that they will be wearing retro uniforms for every Friday home game in 2008, basically doing what the Brewers are doing this year.No details on the era of uniform or anything, but I'm looking forward to it --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranium Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 That would be a cool new trend if more teams adopted retro Fridays or Sundays. I hope the Jays go with their inaugural unis myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neon_Matrix Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Woo, we once again will get to see the T-Bird every friday!!! I'm just hoping they wear the original blue jerseys... those would probably represent the best jerseys worn in baseball at the moment.

jkrdevil Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 So they will actually be the Blue Jays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojotarantino Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 So they will actually be the Blue Jays.That's what I was thinking. Blue Jays are way better than Black Jays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRice16 Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 OK, here's a radical idea. A few years ago (maybe 2001?), the Braves went retro, home and road for the entire month of June. I'd like to see something like that happen league-wide. It probably wouldn't be feasable for teams to do home-and road retro Fridays, but what about going all-retro for a month?

World Series-era unis I'm assuming ('92-'93)- wonder if the hats will be all-blue or if the ones with the white front panel will appear. I prefer the all-blue one, it was the first "authentic" (New Era 5950) I ever owned.I actually like what they wear now...but like every true Blue Jay fan LOVE those unis, soccer-number font and all!"Nixon bunts!...Timlin on it...throws to first.......for the first time in history, the World Championship banner will fly north of the border!

JH42XCC Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 That would be a cool new trend if more teams adopted retro Fridays or Sundays. I hope the Jays go with their inaugural unis myself.Yup. I also hope more teams jump on the retro bandwagon (i.e. the Mets in their racing stripe unis from the 80's, the A's in their colorful "Swingin' A's" era uniforms from the 1970's, the Red Sox in their 1975 unis, or the Astros rainbow-styled get-ups from the 70's and 80's).
