The Toronto Blue Jays are Canada’s only Major League Baseball team, a fact that will be impossible to forget during a handful of games this season.
The Blue Jays — emphasis on the “blue” — unveiled a new alternate uniform Friday that features, well, a whole lot of red.
For every Sunday home game and again on Canada Day, the Jays will wear these red-soaked alternates.
We are excited to unveil our new alternate red and white uniform 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 🇨🇦 #WT2017 https://t.co/1RnkKSpS3g

That’s a lot of red!
As SportsLogosNet.com’s Chris Creamer points out, the new duds are part of a celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, but the Jays also will wear them beyond the 2017 season.
