Blue Jays Alternate Logo
The Toronto Blue Jays are one of the most beloved teams in Major League Baseball. Throughout its history, they have had many logos and alternate logo designs that represent the team’s identity and spirit. From 1977 to 1996, the primary logo for the Blue Jays was a stylized blue jay with its wings spread wide, perched atop a white baseball outlined in royal blue. This classic design is still used today as an alternative logo on some merchandise items such as hats and t-shirts.
In 1997, when Rogers Communications purchased majority ownership of the team from Interbrew/Labatt Breweries Ltd., they unveiled a new primary logo featuring two interlocking “J” letters inside a circle with maple leaves surrounding it to symbolize Canada's national tree - The Maple Leaf being incorporated into this iconic brand mark which has become synonymous with success over time. This is still used today by fans all over North America who proudly wear it on their clothing or display it at home or in their office space!
Throughout its long history since 1977 up until the present day (2020), there have been numerous variations of both these logos released by The Toronto Blue Jays organization that range from subtle changes like color alterations to more drastic ones like completely different art styles being utilized for certain years' jerseys & apparel lines - making them highly sought after collector's items amongst avid sports memorabilia enthusiasts!. With so many different options available throughout each season though – no matter what your preference may be – you can always find something unique & special about any given year's official merchandise offerings!
