Rogers Centre / Skydome: Home of the Toronto Blue Jays
The Red Jays?
Depending on how Toronto’s upcoming jersey redesign goes, there’s a chance we could be calling them that. As the only major league team north of the border, the Blue Jays have lately not been shy about their future marketing strategy.
Namely, they really want to drive home the idea that the Jays are “Canada’s team.” It’s a plan that has some in Toronto predicting that national pride — read: the colors of the Canadian flag — will be a key element in the Jays’ new uniforms.
From The Star: Jays players, who wore red caps [and jerseys] during the Canada Day weekend series in Toronto, could have a more pronounced maple leaf and red and white colours on the uniform to capture characteristics of the Canadian flag. The Jays have been wearing a bright red maple leaf on the right sleeve of their uniforms since the 2009 season.
THHHIIISSS TEAM. WHAT IS THEIR PROBLEM!?
