Now I know how Orland Kurtenbach felt when the Vancouver Canucks reintroduced their original hockey stick logo during their unveiling a few years ago. I remember watching him being interviewed on "The Score" and he was almost in tears, saying he never thought he'd see those logos again in action. That's how I feel today. I'm absolutely thrilled to see the return of the powder blue unis, the blue and white cap, and the original logo.
This will mark the first appearance of the powder blues since 2000 when they worn for one game in Minnesota when the Twins wore their retro home unis from the same time period. All I remember was the Jays lost and Brad Fullmer ripping off his sleeves because they were too tight around his biceps. It was almost like "The Wild Thing" Rick Vaughn in "Major League" when he was warming up in the pen during spring training.
The Jays did wear their retro white jerseys in 2001 when the White Sox were in town to celebrate the Jays 25th anniversary, a game the Jays won - just like the opener in '77. Maybe one day we'll see the return of the World Series jerseys and the dark blue alternate (my all time favourite jersey!).
Oh yeah, the Jays also introduced their new grey road jersey for 2008. They're not too shabby in my humble opinion. I'm glad my prediction of the toothpaste logo being on them was totally off the mark. I wonder if the home and alternate uniforms will eventually be changed to follow the new road uniform in the future. Anyways, feel free to share your thoughts or memories on the power blues and new road uniform for 2008.
