Bring Back the Old Blue Jays Logo

Published September 29, 2007 @ 15:46 in Toronto Blue Jays

bluejaysYes, I realize this is my third sports-related entry in a row, but whatcha gonna do? It's all about me, remember?

I officially despise the new Blue Jays logo. My brother gave me a gift card for the official Blue Jays store and I've yet to use it because every item has that damn soul-less logo plastered on it except for two styles of retro fitted caps. I don't like fitted caps. Further hunting reveals a Cooperstown jacket with the old beloved logo on it, but it's $110.

What exactly was wrong with that sharp looking double blue blue jay over top the baseball with our red Canadian maple leaf prominently displayed? Was it too Canadian? Too associated with success? Too popular?

The new logo is starting to seriously piss me off as I pang more and more for the old logo. There's power in numbers and it's time we did something about this. It's time we bring back the old Blue Jays logo.

I agree with that mike, look what happened to the Sabres when they decided to start bringing back at least a semblence of their old colors. It brought a brand new sense of the glory days of the franchise. ...I am not in love with the newer uniforms either. I don't hate them as much as you do, I can live with them but....They look too much like Tampa Bay. We need the old uniforms back because they were unique...

I feel the same way about the Sabres logo.

I like the current logo for the sabres.

I agree! The old logo is the best. We need to have the maple leaf back in there. The black and silver thing was done way back in the 90s (think Raiders). Double blue and red please!

I'm a nostalgic type a lot of the time but sorry, now that I am used to it I think the new logo is an improvement. At least it looks more like a bird.

Wow. That takes me back.

Although I must say, their marketing has kicked but since they got this latest new logo.

You got it right...Mike! Other than the millions of dollars made from merchandising, why would you mess with success. Please note we haven't been in the playoffs since we got rid of the original logo. Can you at least get rid of the black so we can be the BLUE jays again!!!! PLEASE...PLEASE...get rid of the BLACK!!!

Jason, they're all over the place. I almost bought one last summer. I know the official Blue Jays store sells that retro hat and I've seen it at other sporting goods stores.

Heck, I saw it at Square One the other day...

Even looking at the old logo makes me sad because I remember how good the 90s were!! I WISH they would bring back the old logo.. it was original and really identified us. Now it looks too much like we're trying to fit in with the rest of unoriginal team logos. Keep it classic!!
