If those are the winners, how bad were the losers? Yikes.

I hate red, but second place Uni looks way more interesting than the others...

That should be a Canada Day Jersey

All hideous, really. The first one is truly awful for a contest winner.

They're all pretty terrible. The winner looks like what they already have with the addition of an awkward looking monochrome retro logo. Second one is OK except all the colours look awful. Tone down the powder blue and get rid of the red. Third one: no redeeming aspects. The honourable mention I would like to see, haha. My team name is the Lumberjacks so maybe we should switch to those unis.

I don't mind the monochrome logo of the first one, but the colour could have been a better shade of blue.

I would like to see Jessie Litsch and Jose Molina in the honourable mention jerseys.

They are all better than this one

Worst jersey I have ever seen.

As for the contest winners, they're also terrible. I hope I don't have to see any of those jerseys next season. The blue on the winner is more purple than blue.

The second place uni would be alright if the red part was blue.

Those are all terrible submissions. None of which are remotely as good or better than the current jersey or the old ones. :lol:

the second uni looks nice..... but not something i want permanently. Its ok for a Canada day or any other ceremonial games. It might actually sell in those situations.

Heres my submission:

go total retro... this one would rank with the best of em in the MLB

Just go back to the old school uni's. The one's from the 90's as above. Go with a baby blue, navy blue and a red for canada day.

I say white with navy blue at home...baby blue with white font for the road.

Seriously. It's got great tradition. It looks awesome. Everybody likes it. Why do they keep trying to reinvent the wheel? You can't tell me those retro jerseys don't sell as well as the modern stuff anyway.

If the Yankees and Red Sox don't feel the need to throw away their colours every decade because some doofus marketing exec said so, why do we?

seriously... it's not rocket surgery. Give the people what they want!

All that was missing from the 4th one (honorable mention) was the Jays logo in green font. An amusingly sarcastic submission.

A bit disappointed. I designed some concepts a while ago and posted on here, and thought I'd submit those for this contest. But they didn't even end up posting it on the site (except for the hats, of all things). I guess it's maybe because I didn't design any pants, or have it on the Bautista template.

Anyways, here were the designs in case anyone hasn't seen it.

That's a shame. Just saw some of your designs and they're wonderful. Nice work.

Those are great (although I'd love the alternate as the away instead)

The organization should stop farting about with all this jersey stuff and just hire you. Your designs are much better than what everyone else is coming up with.

This contest is like a scorched earth war. There are no winners.
