Personally, I think it would look much better with a solid black cap instead. While they also decided to go back to their roots, the Orioles opted to go with the white panel cap to go with their home uniforms.Įven though I endorse the O’s reverting back to the cartoon bird as their primary logo, there’s something that doesn’t sit quite right with the white panel cap. That’s where I think the Baltimore Orioles made a crucial mistake in the design of their new uniforms. As much as I love my old Blue Jays cap, I find it to be more of a novelty or fashion cap rather than one you’d want to see on the field. I think the Blue Jays made a very wise decision to go with the solid blue cap rather than going with a white-paneled front cap. But this issue doesn’t really pertain to the player’s caps, just to fans looking to buy caps. The fitted hats all feature a fairly large sized bird on the front, but several of the adjustable caps have a much smaller primary logo on the cap.įor those such as myself who just can’t pull off a fitted cap for one reason or another, you’ll have to resort to an adjustable cap with a much smaller logo on the front. My only criticism is that you’ll notice the actual size of the Blue Jays logo is very different depending on on which cap it is. Were the away greys always worn with the “toothpaste T” caps? Were the alternate home black uniforms always worn with the primary logo cap? There was a bit of confusion as to which caps always went with which uniforms. In previous years, I had no idea which games dictated which cap/uniform combinations. I think having the constant of the blue cap for all three versions of the uniform was a very wise idea. I own one myself and if you haven’t seen one up close yet, trust me when I say the uniform is even more beautiful in person.Įven the away grey jerseys are very sharp looking. I know the Blue Jays won’t come outright and say which of their three jerseys has sold the most, but I’m willing to bet it’s the blue alternate. That particular hue of blue that’s the most predominant in the blue alternate uniforms was the perfect choice. With the black, it seemed like the logo faded into the background whereas the new uniforms are distinct. It really is a much more appealing colour to the eye, and it manages to be eye-catching without being gaudy like the Marlins Marlins uniforms. One of the best things about seeing all those photos from Blue Jays Spring Training earlier this year was the sea of blue. I can’t say for sure if it’s the exact pantone of Blue, but the colour is brilliant both literally and figuratively. I think the huge difference is obviously the incorporation of the colour blue back into the uniforms. Maybe it was the bright lights, the comfy red chair and George Stroumboulopoulos’ boyish charm, but I was a little shocked to hear the General Manager of the Toronto Blue Jays use words like “brutal, awful and embarrassing” to describe the previous uniforms.Īnd the new set really does put the old one to shame.
