The Good: It’s okay to be unique, and the Blue Jays have proven that with the font used for the team’s word mark and numbers. However, had we made this list in 2011 (or maybe even as early as 1997), there would be two bad Major League Baseball uniforms instead of one. The unique Toronto Blue Jays uniforms of that period missed the mark and would rival the current Marlins getup for the worst in the big leagues.

I understand why the Jays tried to make a more aggressive and modern logo, but the black and silver accents just didn’t really work for the ball club in particular. The decision to rebrand again in 2012 and specifically the decision to resemble the Blue Jays from 1977-96, was a great one. The team’s blue alternate jersey also looks good, as does the red Canada Day one.

The Bad: There isn’t much to complain about, especially when comparing the Jays’ current look to the one they wore from 2004-11. Perhaps the only improvement I would make would be bringing back the white panel on the home cap that was common from 1977-88 and that the team also used in their powder blue throwbacks from 2008-11.

Speaking of the powder blues, Toronto is the only other team besides the Royals that could get away with them again as a primary road uniform – but the grays look good, too.
