reppact Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 I was watching TSN last night as they formally introduced Batista to the media.I saw the new Jays cap, and the first thing I thought was, "Man, the logo on the cap is too damn big!"I made sure I saw the MLB logo on the back, so I know it was an official cap.

DEAD! Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 You what they say about men who wear hats with big logos? ...... I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmorss9 Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Yesterday I received the "Jays preview catalog". When this logo package was introduced I thouroughly hated it, but to be honest, it all looked pretty good in print. Maybe this is just one of those uniforms that will take time to warm up to. But they should still have blue hats, IMO. "Hats for bats. Keep bats warm. Gracias" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris.B Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 Maybe this is just one of those uniforms that will take time to warm up to.I sure hope so. Using the large logo seems to be yet another poor choice when it comes to the new uniform IMO. -the decision to not go old school or retro in theme-the decision to go black-the awful choice for the road colours-the decision to omit blue for the most part-choosing the large logo over the smaller versionWho's making all the decisions with this uniform?Cheers,Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffin128 Posted December 18, 2003 Share Posted December 18, 2003 I actually like the grey cap, although I hate the logo both in design and size. It would have worked better as a road cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chazberg Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 I don't think the logo on the hat is really any bigger than others. I still detest these uniforms though; metallic colors and graphite have no place in baseball uniforms. Plus, they are the BLUE Jays. charles-noerenberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have worked better as a road cap.The Toronto Grey Jays...doesn't quite have the same ring to it. I agree with you though, the grey cap in itself is nice and could work for a different, more appropriate team.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yh Posted December 19, 2003 Share Posted December 19, 2003 Hey, if you're not going to have a Grey Cup, then why not a Grey Cap? Okay, enough with the bad CFL humor (if you can call it that). I like the cap - it's unique, to be sure. Yes, the logo is a bit large for my tastes and I would prefer more blue and less black in the team's overall scheme, but taking this cap on its own without looking at the bigger picture -- I think it's nice.

O'sMan Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 I?m still undecided about the new Jay?s look. It does seem kind of weird not to have much blue in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 Plus, they are the BLUE Jays.Not under the new identity change.Not if Ted Rogers' 'marketing geniuses' can help it.I love the Blue Jays. I hate this look. I hope I never get used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC97 Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 It's funny, I found a quote from current Jays president, and then Toronto chairman, Paul Godfrey, in a newspaper article in 1976 announcing the name will be "Blue Jays":***The Toronto Star, front page, August 13, 1976"To be honest, I'm not impressed", was the candid reaction of Metro chairman Paul Godfrey, who was a prime mover in getting a major league ball team for Toronto, "The first part of the name, Toronto Blues, grabs me, it has a nice sound".***So, in 1976 he hates the "Jays" part, and in 2003 he hates the "Blue" part, hey whatever. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gosioux76 Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 Perhaps it should be Toronto Granite or Toronto Steel Gray or whatever the color is on those hideos new away jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saintsfan Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 Do we know for sure that that is the new Jays cap in the pic. Its been bothering me for a while, but somehow it doesn't look like a game cap to me. Personally I still like the new Jays identity, and fair enough that puts me in a minority but hey I'm fine with that! 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed the new home caps, I have the 2004 merchandise catalogue, and I have seen them in person at the SkyDome. I own the road one, and it is pure black.The home caps are the same colour, to the eye at least, as the numbering on the home jerseys. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be interesting to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
