Blue Jays launch alternate jersey that features CN Tower, Toronto skyline
The Toronto Blue Jays have finally released their City Connect alternate jersey.
After initially being announced in February and teased on social media for the last few months, the Jays unveiled their Toronto-inspired jersey on Thursday evening.
The skyline.
The neighbourhoods.
The people.
The heartbeat of the city. @SimuLiu knows what our City Connects mean to Toronto! #TOTHECORE pic.twitter.com/0tvrltdZMB— Toronto Blue Jays (@BlueJays) May 30, 2024
The black base of the jersey features an image of a simplified Toronto skyline, complete with an image of the CN Tower and the Rogers Centre.
Meanwhile, the text on the front of the jersey simply says “TORONTO” in all caps, and red and blue piping are on the sleeves and numbers.
The hat features a red maple leaf in front of a blue-and-red T logo, which looks similar to previous designs the team has worn in the past, but it’s a bit of a new spin on it.

It’s the Jays’ first black jersey in over a decade, having previously been part of their colour scheme from 2004 through 2011.
Fans looking to get their hands on the jerseys can do so at the Jays Shop at Rogers Centre on Friday morning, which is set to open at 8 am ET, and Blue Jays legends Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion will both be on hand for it.
The full schedule for the jersey can be seen below.
