CC97 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 That's odd. I work for Toronto FC, and no one got paid time and a half yesterday. you should have, it's a national holiday... then again MLSE is terribly cheap when it comes to their employees. --- Chris Creamer Founder/Editor, SportsLogos.Net "The Mothership" • News • Facebook • X/Twitter • Instagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallWonk Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Yeah, every time I see the Jays in anything other then their train-wreck uniforms, I'm reminded of how much I miss blue.Same here. I don't mind the introduction of black and gray -- or is it "grey" in Canada? -- nor the elimination of red. Blue jays, the birds, are all about black and gray ... and blue:A few teams have recently shown that light blue and black can work well as team colors. I think the independent St. Paul Saints are the best example of how blue and black can be used together:The Jays uniforms are a complete disaster, but a disaster that could easily be solved with the reintroduction of royal blue as a primary color. And personally, I'd like to see a cap logo that uses a blue jay tailfeather as the vertical element in a letter T:But it all boils down to putting the blue back in the Blue Jays.

So long as the proportions were kept roughly as in that picture, I'd have no problem with black. My issue is that black dominates the Jays' scheme to the exclusion of blue.And personally, I'd like to see a cap logo that uses a blue jay tailfeather as the vertical element in a letter T:But it all boils down to putting the blue back in the Blue Jays.That's a really interesting idea.

FiddySicks Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 So for some strange reason the Cubs are wearing them tonight vs the Giants in San Fran. They actually look awesome with the cubs road unis. Not sure if the Giants are wearing them tonight though, I haven't seen them yet.EDIT: Yup, they are. Lucky they're navy, so it's hard to really notice.

CubsFanBudMan Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 I noticed right away. Just got home and turned the TV on mid-inning and I said to myself, "Wow, I need to adjust the color on this TV because the Giants caps look blue." You know, since it's July 2 and all, it couldn't be those "special" July 4 caps. Honestly didn't cross my mind, despite my earlier "outrage." But then I saw the Cubs in the field and it was immediately noticeable that the red bill was absent. I'm all for the Cubs returning to all-blue caps on the road, but I'd prefer it be the correct blue. That said, these will look better with the gray roads than with the blue alts, which will deliver the reverse effect of the old navy BPs with royal blue helmets. Makes no sense.

Billy B Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 During the Cubs game, they said that the Giants were honoring the military tonight, so that may be why they were wearing the red, white, and blue hats tonight. The Giants honored the military by dressing their mascot in camoflauge and singing "God Bless America". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly makes me feel special about serving. (shudders) Though those Cubbies hats look pretty sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
