The Blue Jays’ Logo Has Returned to Glory
The Toronto Blue Jays made the unfortunate decision to ditch their wonderful logo back in 1997 and, for reasons that remain unknown, set out on a mission to make their logo and color scheme progressively worse with each lifeless season. Since then, the only drawing points to this franchise have been couples humping in the hotel windows overlooking the outfield, a terrible “song” composed about their best player, and a ruthless sign-stealer named after one of the many captivating characters from Lost. Today, however, we start anew by returning to familiar ground.
The logo pictured at right is what the Blue Jays will sport starting next season. But as Paul Lukas mentioned in his article, logo leaks such as this one tend to enrage both the folks at MLB and the respective team because it affects sacred things like upcoming marketing campaigns. In this particular instance, how dumb can one be to believe that leaking this logo would be negative in any capacity? Stuff like this makes fans happy, and Blue Jays fans aren’t always so happy. Chances are, they’ll be just as elated when the official announcement of the new logo is made.

Ed Sprague was once the Pirates All-Star representative. Think about that for a second.

Maybe the Astros can return to these beauties as well.
September 22nd, 2011 at 5:49 PM
Bryan Stow is talking now. Hope he can get close to normal again.
September 22nd, 2011 at 5:49 PM
They should go back to being the Colt .45′s. They don’t play in the Astro Dome anymore.

The Astrodome was only renamed the Astrodome because the Astros moved into it. Not vice versa. It was originally going to be called the Harris County Domed Stadium.

some creative sumbitches down there.

They even broke ground on it by firing Colt .45s into the ground.

All I want to know is: do they sell chili, and does it have beans?

I wish them the best of luck at 2nd place next season. It’d be nice to see a team with a pleasant fan base challenge the Bombers.
September 22nd, 2011 at 5:56 PM
fucking awesome. only in Texas.
September 22nd, 2011 at 5:57 PM
OT:
So Maggie Gyllenhaal’s next movie looks….interesting.
September 22nd, 2011 at 5:57 PM
I haven’t followed the case too closely…do they definitively have the attackers in custody? If not, it would be nice if this guy remembered anything about the attack…but that seems unlikely.
September 22nd, 2011 at 5:59 PM
fucking awesome. only in Texas.
Indeed. I don’t remember the full story as to why they changed names. I think it was because NASA was building up a huge presence in the Houston area (Johnson Space Center is just south of the city) and they wanted to embrace Houston’s future rather than it’s past. But obviously from the groundbreaking you can see that they were still intending to call the team the Colt .45s.

so that is how not very attractive actresses stay relevant?

If only it starred Kate Upton, but beggars can’t be choosers.

I’d do her. And I won’t apologize for that.
September 22nd, 2011 at 6:06 PM
Unless they can bring back Dave Stieb and George Bell as well, it doesn’t really matter what their logo is.
Althought that really is one cool logo (suck it, Marlins).

Trolling on a Blue Jays post. That’s a new one.

I knew Heath Ledger pulled off crazy Joker when he referred to her as beautiful with a straight face. That’s some fine acting.
September 22nd, 2011 at 6:15 PM
That kept Chipper Jones out of the All-Star game. Like almost everyone else, I hate the rule that all teams have to represented.
September 22nd, 2011 at 6:20 PM
It worked out OK for Larry…
September 22nd, 2011 at 6:37 PM
That’s a fantastic logo.
Tony Fernandez, Kelly gruber, and Duane ward approve.
September 22nd, 2011 at 6:43 PM
..and Al Martin never got a shot of being our representative for one year. There is no justice.

Not a Maggie fan, but i loved her in Secretary.
