Do You Like The Toronto Blue Jays' New Logo For The 2012 Season?
Online, November 25, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The Toronto Blue Jays unveiled their new look on Friday at Rogers Centre, and finally, every old-school Jays fan's dream came true, a throwback to happier times when they wore during the team's 1992 and 1993 World Series winning campaigns. The "Angry Jay" is out and classic blue is back in, when it comes to the team's new uniforms.
Every time a new logo release will lead debate between the fans. Toronto's latest version once again embraces the full Toronto Blue Jays name. Personally, I think the new one looks still much better than the new age black and silver one. But since this is not their first year in existence and they don't have to let everyone to know they are the Toronto Blue Jays Baseball Team Located in Canada, some baseball fun like Gary believe the red maple leaf along with the words Toronto may include too much information about the team. "We all know they are the Toronto Blue Jays and the team are very proud of representing Canada," he said. "But I think it is not a very special design though."
Led by new manager John Farrell, the Blue Jays' 2011 season was up-and-down for the most part, as the team finished with a .500 record. After signing a five-year $64 million contract extension, Jose Bautista followed up his record setting 2010 season with an arguably better season. He finished with a Major League-leading 43 home runs, along with 103 RBI, 132 walks, and a .302 average. Rookie J. P. Arencibia also had a successful year, setting a Blue Jays single-season record with 23 home runs by a catcher. In August, third base prospect Brett Lawrie made his Major League debut and hit .293 with 9 home runs, 4 triples, and 25 RBI, in just 43 games. Starting pitcher and ace Ricky Romero had a breakout year, leading the team with 15 wins and a 2.92 ERA. He also became an All-Star for the first time in his career. The other starting pitchers were inconsistent throughout the season. Jon Rauch and Frank Francisco, both acquired in the off-season, shared the closer role. They both struggled through the first half of the season, though Francisco improved in the last two months of the season, and had six saves in September.
"I don't care what happened last season," said Larry, the local Toronto fun. "Hope this new logo brings the team back the winning days of 1992-93 when the Jays were rocking and all of Canada was rocking, Redsox and Yankees are falling apart this season. It's time for the Blue Jays to get back to the top."
