I thought this was a new piece, but Sportsnet, because it's the 50th year,
of the blue jays they have been repurposing some old pieces about the history of the blue jays and you and i thought this was a new piece i didn't read it back when you wrote it uh but the black jays jerseys the uh jose batista early part of the jose batista era for me it's more of the like holiday lind vernon like when i have vernon wells on the show that's all i can picture yeah um
Looking back, and now that they're doing this 50-year stuff, and there are things like Trey Savage jersey in that Black J style, or in a couple weeks of Roy Halladay jersey giveaway back in the jersey of that era, how much do you think that that helps with...
remembering and celebrating the 50 years.
And I guess how cool is it that even when the teams are bad or the jerseys are bad, in this case, people don't like them.
We can lock it in as like, okay, memory wise, this is that era.
And I picture these guys in this jersey.
And that's how I kind of, that's the compartment that this part of Blue Jays history is in.
I think people also soured a little bit because like there was a time where like in every sport, every team was then doing a black jersey.
And it's like, this looks, that's not great.
It's the same way like the half purple, half black Raptors jersey from the Vince Carter era.
Like the era right after the pinstripes, it went out of vogue and then came back around.
It's still not as good as the pinstripe one, but people like those jerseys again now.
Yeah.
At some point when the Raptors were bringing the purple jerseys back, I polled a big group of people on every Raptors jersey in history.
And you would think some of the ones that we disliked float back to the top.
But some of the ones that you dislike just stay at the bottom, like when they did a camo jersey or a St.
Patrick's Day or whatever.
The Nathan Lucas Dunedin one, and I'll do what I'm not supposed to do and hold my...
Get my laptop up.
