bleuet Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Lemme play the troll. Why is there a maple leaf? I am kidding, this is classic and modern at its best. One of the best unis in MLB at this date. Great execution, fonts, everything screams Toronto! and its fine.Laugh at me if you want, for the road unis, I would have go further and create a sort of mix of grey and powder blue. Not powder blue, a mix of grey and powder blue. I am sure it would have been fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I love this set, the Orioles' set, and the Met's change. They're all reinterpretations of the team's uniforms from the 1980s. Couple these changes with what Cleveland and Kansas City have done in year's past and I am getting to see an updated version of what I grew up with.

RedSox44 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 This my friends, is called a thing of beauty. It feels so good to have my favorite ball club back!I just can't even comprehend how gorgeous that away jersey is.For whatever reason, I've always preferred away jerseys to home jerseys (my only authentic jersey is a Jon Lester away); I like the Orioles away jersey more than their home, the Nationals away more than their home, if the Cardinals add "St. Louis" to their aways any time soon I'd like that more than the home (same for the Brewers), and now the Blue Jays.

whchoclte Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I think the results are great except for the logo on front of uniform. No need to keep every retro element.Throw the logo on sleeve and its perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarPunk2512 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 how would the jerseyes look with piping like the mets jerseys? also with the logo replaced with a front number? Mets, Jets, Islanders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightynine Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Absolute thing of beauty. And I'll have to disagree with Chris, I really like the club's new wordmarks with the maple leaf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omnivore Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I don't like hyperbole, but I swear I watched that promo video they put together and it gave me goosebumps. Like, it was fun to be a Jays fan and to rekindle that history and so forth. Just awesome. So glad we've finally got this look back.

-kj Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Pretty. Two things I don't like, and they're a bit nit-picky:- The bird still looks like it's falling/leaing backwards. That also causes "Blue Jays" to look off-kilter in the roundel.- I could do without the logo on the front of the jerseys, but at the least they could have made it a little smaller.I so love the player numbers.

Gothamite Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Amazing how a team that got it so wrong in 2004 gets it so right today.I'm starting to think that some teams need to spend time wandering through the wilderness before they resume their rightful look.Just ask the Buffalo Bills. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 The outline on the road jerseys is inexplicable, but at least it's not on the numbers, too. Hopefully they eliminate it after a year. I still maintain the bird needs the baseball behind him, at least on the cap. Especially with darkening of the logo, it would really make it pop. The cap looks like it's missing something to me. Still a great set, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOldRoman Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I agree with almost every point made in that logo evaluation. I think the Blue Jays font is fine, but I think he is on point with several very small details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not powder blue, a mix of grey and powder blue. I am sure it would have been fantastic.I've proposed that for the Royals, actually. Very very muted blue-grey, enough to be Not Quite Grey and recall the old powder-blues without being powder blue. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCL Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Very nice Toronto, only complaints are the serif numbers and the ball not connecting with the maple leaf stem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOldRoman Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 To add to the logo critique, the gaps between the head and the baseball outline is too large. It should be at least half as big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New_Member Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Love the new bird and love the capI know this is raining on the parade celebrating an outstanding upgrade, but I don't think they quite nailed it. I am a little underwhelmed by the jerseys.And is anyone else bothered that the stem of the maple leaf does not flow into the baseball on the main logo? Of course, that it isn't used anywhere on the uniform makes this a very minor issue. The lack of connection between the baseball and leaf gives the logo a layered, uncohesive look. I don't see an integrated logo but first the baseball, then the bird and finally the leaf. EDIT: I see a "Toronto based designer" beat me to it.For the small number of (I assume) Americans complaining about the Maple Leaf, I think the best comparison is the Texas Texases. The Rangers have incentive to play up their Texasness as they seem to be targeting a larger audience than just the DFW area. And in comparison, they are much bigger offenders than the BLUE Jays because they aren't the only team in Texas and they really go overboard with it. I think the BLUE Jays are being smart marketers in playing up the Canadianess to garner a whole nation as a fan base. Why not? Plus, and I'm saying this as a proud American, can we really give Canadians crap about being too nationalistic? That's like a jet black pot critiquing a stainless steel kettle for its black handle. Uh, or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
