Sodboy13 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 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 OddnessSo, tell me, those of you in the know: is this legit?

rmackman Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 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. "Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you'd better be running." - Unknown | Check out my articles on jerseys at Bacon Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neon_Matrix Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 DAMN IT! WHY DO I KEEP MISSING THE BOAT??? 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!
