Hopefully not a regurgitating of the "The Six" theme that Drake and Toronto itself seems to try and push as they have with Raptors, as some faux hard edged town with 6 municipalities. A Canada theme would be appropriate maybe considering the fan base coverage is greater than a city, but likely not to happen...and that also has the dangers of going far too maple syrup cringey, plus they have the Canada Day reds anyways.
Nor a retro return to the Tony Bautista era Jays, or the silver and slate of the Halladay days, either.
Hopefully Rogers comes up with something good. Back to the drawing board after they created an Ohtani-centric City Connect jersey as part of the final contract push.  |
I don't think any of the City Connect jerseys are retros. Frankly I hate all retro jerseys. It's lazy marketing. There should be a move to the future without having too many ties to the past and these jerseys are the best in pro sports by a wide margin to move into the next century. The 80's was terrible for colours and jerseys for mostly all teams, and yet for some odd reason teams go back to those cheesy colour schemes. I wanna see the future, and this presents the best chance at it. Blue will likely be part of it but I'm going to go on a limb and say blue and silver will be part of the scheme. Just a guess.
