tml4life85 Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 I don't know if anybody has heard about this but apparently Paul Godfrey is going to get the team a new logo, new uniforms and take out the Blue in their name thus making them the Toronto Jays. This is absolutely ridiculous. It's like changing the name of the Leafs to the Toronto Leafs. It just doesn't make any sense.Comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted April 26, 2003 Share Posted April 26, 2003 There was an article about this in the Free Press on Thurs. or Fri. I don't know if there is any truth to a rumour, but the article stressed that this was not a formal announcement nor did it have any backing from front office. It stressed that this was speculation on the fact that the Blue Jays are doing a concept overhaul for next year. It's a possibility, but we'll have to wait and see...Chris, is what I've said correct?

CC97 Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Complete overhaul: TRUENew nickname: FALSEI have not seen the logo, but I was talking with some buddies of mine who have seen it and said it is terrible. It is going in a complete opposite direction from team tradition. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted April 27, 2003 Share Posted April 27, 2003 Please share... and BTW if you need some space to house that MLB uniform project, I've got it. I'd really like to see that up and running again. Either that or I'm going to have to go back to the library and steal that Okkonen book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the day.You can't take the Blue out of the Bomber, and they shouldn't (and apparently won't) take the Blue out of the Jay. If I would nitpick Discrimihater's comment, Maple (as in the Leafs) isn't exactly a colour reference, but I won't nitpick and thus won't mention it.

Samifumi Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 I heard here on SportsRadio in Dallas (the Ticket) that they will aso move from Blue Jays to Jays. Toronto Jays. Yech. Apparently something is propagating the media wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amare32 Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 I've heard they're dropping "Blue" cos they intend to change the colors to gun-silver, black and red.At least discarding the maple leaf will ease the transition when the club moves to Portland. **chortle** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I am saddened that these teams never consult their fans with these changes, it's as if we dont matter at all. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amare32 Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Oh, I bet they run focus groups where they assemble a bunch of morons to tell them which color scheme looks best: 1. black and silver; 2. black and red; 3. black, silver and red; 4. black and teal; or 5. black, silver and teal.
