Blue Jays eBay find

Well, this one seems pretty on the level, given the tagging and cresting. As many of you know (especially Braden,) the original Blue Jays road uniforms unveiled for the 2004 season weren't grey - they were graphite. Someone in the Jays' organization chickened out at the last second, though, and the Jays took the field in plain grey on the road in '04. Now, I just found this on eBay - apparently the Blue Jays were toying with the idea of a graphite faux vest with grey sleeves long enough for a prototype to be made.

Graphite Oddness

So, tell me, those of you in the know: is this legit?

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.

It's a time like this when I wish this board had a clickable smile that had a guy who lit himself on fire and ran around because that's just how I feel after looking at that shirt. Imagine if the Rockies and Jays played a game with this jersey and Colorado's black on purple crap.

What about us faux-vest haters? :P

Ah, therein lies the conflict.

I love the graphite, but I abhor the faux vest.

To bid, or not to bid?

Where did you get it? I wonder if there are any places around here that may still stock a few of them.

That's what you get for only going on $2 Tuesdays ^_^

Last year I went to a game I got free giveaway tickets to, the fathers day promotion one I got for free too from some contest, then I went again from free tickets I got though my dads office because they did the jays/rogers centre advertising last year. This year I have so far only gone to the $2 games, but for the last one I gave in and bought baseline tickets. I'm also going to this saturdays game against Detroit and probably going to the one against the Mets. This is the first year I have ever had to pay for tickets, so I'm still adjusting to it. So HAH!

That is a "unique" look.

Too bad they don't have a blue alt concept floating out there, considering they are the BLUE Jays.

Go Astros!

Go Texans!

Go Rockets!

Go Javelinas!
