shiznit1083 Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 The logo was cool until I saw the uni. That just soured me. Those unis are crap. There is nothing remotely cool about this. This was absolutely not necessary. I HATE BLACK ON UNIFORMS. I say screw it, if everyone is going to come out with these black pieces of s#!^ then I hope the league abolishes thirds. This is getting retarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schlim Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 You know, I was horrified by the first change to the Blue Jays uniforms and logos, but they grew on me and I thought they were nice. I wan't nuts on the red additions, but dealt with it. My first impression on seeing the new logo was nice design, but just bad, bad bad for baseball. Upon seeing the jerseys, I thought the worst. I think the bird is fine, but would go better on a football helmet, not a cap. Those uniforms just make my head hang low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
etown Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 This is the best look I've seen of the jerseyshttp://toronto.bluejays.mlb.com/tor....325.jpgugh. The color scheme actually reminds me alot of the Utah Jazz...but they do a better job with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian in Boston Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Sterling, I am on vacation, but I will be checking in from time to time... particularly with regard to issues that so DESPERATELY need addressing. In a word... ATROCIOUS!!!Sterling hit it right on the head. Toronto (Note: The BLUE Jays. NOT just Jays... I don't care what the press and the fans have abbreviated the name to. The franchise is the Toronto BLUE Jays, damn it!) perfectly captured the essence of a Blue Jay's cresting and color-scheme with the bird-head portion of their first logo. This abomination is so far removed from accurate that it is infuriating. It looks like a distant relative of the Road Runner from a Warner Brothers cartoon. Plus, I abhor the "trendy" abbreviation to "Jays" on the uniforms. And the wordmark font resembles something that the lifestyle-advisers on "Queer Eye For the Straight Guy" would cook up.It pains me to say this, but the "T-Bird" logo was more acceptable to me. This is simply an example of logo/identity redesign run amok. Bring back the original logo ASAP!STOP THE INSANITY!!!Brian in Boston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 *scratches head* Okay I am a bit confused. Those Jerseys look okay (okay mind) to me! (Not great but not THAT bad). Fair enough most road jerseys are gray. But that isn't a written down rule is it? And the whole reason for the logo change is to drop the Blue from there names so fairly obviously the color blue was at least going to be downplayed! Anyway I'm from England so what would I know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puckguy14 Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Wow this is brutal. So they take the Detroit Lions color scheme, go with a horrible "throwback" typeface with a futuristic bird. I can almost be assured that they will have a black alternate and eventually make the BLUE Jays go black. Just plain awful.With that said, I do like the bird itself. It's nice and sleek. But no multiple blues, make this look awful. We'll see all kinds of concepts until the Jays correct their mistake.Oh did I not call the black alternate! Oh I'm good. The jerseys suck more than the play of the Detroit Tigers!

Puckguy14 Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 In the pic the Jays have up...First off the blue in the logo looks more teal. And the road jersey seems (dare I say) Anaheim-like plum. Plus the numerals are the font of the Minnesota North Stars.This is making the "self-proclaimed" worst logo ever the Toledo Storm look good. BRUTAL!

Puckguy14 Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 One more thing and I'll shut up. Is it me or does the logo look like it belongs to an expansion WNBA team? No offense Chris, but it looks more women's basketball than baseball. 2004 San Jose Sharks 7th Man Fan of the Year San Jose Gold Miners - 4x Lombardi Cup Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted September 3, 2003 Author Share Posted September 3, 2003 After seeing the uniforms, I think this has to be the worst indentity change the Jays have done. They are going to wear the new threads today. Hmmm.... maybe I should go to the dome and check them out. But hey, if the bullpen is going to be bad, they might as well look good doing it!I can't believe they have a black alternate! I think the alternate should have been blue, that would look awesome! Funny, no sleeve patches at all.... that sucks! So wanna take 'virtual' bets on when they will change their logo and uniforms again? I saw, I came, I left.

Moser316 Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 How the hell could they screw up their uniforms with the new logo? I was afraid the logo would be cool, but they'd mess up on the more important feature: how it actually looks on a uniform. This doesn't totally negate the change for the better that they made with their logos/wordmarks, but it comes close (hoping for future changes in their uniforms with keeping the new logos/wordmarks intact)...

mjrbaseball Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 I thought there was a rule that a team couldn't change its logo more than once every three years. (I know there is in the minor leagues, I'm not sure it applies to the majors.)This makes three logos in as many years. To me smacks of a marketing ploy.(As I dig out my old cap with the white front panels and the little maple leaf over the blue jay's ear.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroseed Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Hah, I think the Rangers beat them to it as far as changing their logo every few years goes. It seemed like they had a new one every year or so for about five years. (I'm probably exaggerating.) There's no sense of BRANDING in baseball as opposed to, say, football, where you see a logo change maybe once every 20 years.Slightly off topic, but since I'm wondering now, has there been an NFL team that has changed their logo to something completely new more than once? (relocations [Titans, Ravens, etc.] and the Jets and Giants don't count, since they had an old logo, made a new one and went back to the old one).

whchoclte Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 I have to comment on this. The bird head not bad. As for the rest it upsets me just to witness it.First off introducing black. Good work. Now you look like the awful Royals do. Whats wrong with Navy and Light Blue. Works for most teams.Now to the writing. Jays? Great job. Take a whole nickname and just shorten it to soemthing that loses meaning. Then to top it off make the script writing hard to read and complicated.In trying to be different they have accomplished soemthing medicore and redundant to say the least. I am done on that topic.

Saintsfan Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 Okay so it is obviously just me but I really really really dont see what is all that bad about the new look!!! Really I don't. It may not be the most fantastic thing ever but come on guys! This is at least on a par with several other baseball clubs (Devil Rays for a start!) 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
