BigBubba Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 That jersey looks gorgeous. I agree that blue inner lining and sleeve piping would look nice but this is so perfect in every other way so I'm not complaining. A tad disappointing that they are using the stars and stripes cap though. A red cap would have been better. And a Blue Jays fan might shoot me for this, but on the topic of the cap I would have loved to see the home cap (or at least an alt) with the white panel on the front.Quite the opposite. The 80s white front-paneled cap is extremely popular among fans. Until the new suiff came out, it was by far the most popular cap. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

Joshawaggie Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 I quite prefer they left the blue piping out. I hate all red with little blue, seems off to me. It's the reason I hate the texans' red unis and some of the previous incarnations of the Canada jersey. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two big pictures have the real team tagging. The pic from the back has the flag patch visible on the left sleeve. The patch close-up is of the right sleeve. It's clearly not the same jersey in the 3 pictures. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalgaryJaysFan Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 The pictures are taken from both an Authentic, and a Replica jersey. The Authentic jersey has the Canadian flag and Majestic logo on the left sleeve, while the Replica has the Majestic logo and flag on the right side. Why? I'm not sure. I assume its just one more difference to help people differentiate between the authentic, and replica version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand the "oh my god they're beautiful" fawning. I don't care if Toronto is in Canada; the Blue Jays shouldn't wear red.

BrianLion Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I don't think the blue piping is really necessary. They're trying to emulate the colors of the Canadian flag with the jersey and the only blue that should be present is the one in their logo.

BigBubba Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 When you're branding yourself as Canada's team, I think you have every right to do so. If there were three or four other Canadian clubs, I'd be opposed to it, but between that and the Brett Lawrie commercials they air every two seconds during games, it's obvious that this is a marketing thing, and one that I'm a fan of. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Well, you like anything that's Canada Canada Canada. I've caught you defending Nickelback.The Blue Jays use red exactly the same way the Winnipeg Jets do. I wouldn't want the Jets to start wearing red sweaters. You can be Canada's Team without doing a stunt like this that drastically compromises the integrity of the design, the team name, and player identification (pretending everyone's name is CANADA is as bad as everyone wearing 42 on Jackie Robinson Day). They have a maple leaf on them already. There. They're Canada's team. They don't need their no-contact jerseys to sledgehammer us with it even further. Their new uniforms are a blessing after eight years of their craphite; I wouldn't take a single game away from them to wear anything else. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBubba Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 You're making it seem like it's a full-time alternate they wear 40 times a year. It's a one-off thing they wear one out of 162 games. July 1st with the Blue Jays consists of patriotic anthem-playing, outdoor festivities, excessive pre-game ceremonies featuring Mounties, and of course, red jerseys. Hell, last year they played recordings on the JumboTron of the players saying "aboot" and "eh". This year I'm sure they'll shove Brett Lawrie down the fans' throats and play those Lawrie-fied Canadian Baseball commercials they oh-so love every stoppage of play. I'm half expecting them to put "Lawrie" on the back of every jersey.My point? It's a fun one-off as part of the Canada Day festivities. Let the fans enjoy it and let those lonely Newfies and Québec fans feel like Toronto cares about them. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

In practice, it is a country's advocation of the use of threats or actual force against other countries in order to safeguard what it perceives as its national interests. Colloquially, it refers to excessive bias in judging one's own country as superior to others ? an extreme type of nationalism.I see no:extreme patriotismagressive foreign policythreatsforcejudging of Canada as superiorextreme nationalism http://i.imgur.com/4ahMZxD.png koizim said: And...and ya know what we gotta do?

Sorry we can't have the Jays and Expos play each other every Canada Day trading home games each year to get the Québécois in on the festivities (which to be perfectly honest would be rather awesome), but the Expos are gone. So the Jays home games on July 1st are the most we get when it comes to celebrating Canadian patriotism in a sport wrapped up in the American variety.

The_Admiral Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Why can't they have a Canada Day game every year and wear spectacular white jerseys instead of ugly red jerseys? I don't insist on American teams wearing American flag designs like some old lady's windbreaker.Oh and to clarify I only meant that Toronto was the 51st state. Maybe some of them need the Canada Day jersey to remind themselves. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
