Uniforms
Powder blue and pullovers
Upon entering Major League Baseball in 1977, the Blue Jays decided to follow the common trends of the time — pullover jerseys, beltless pants, and powder blue road uniforms.
For the first two seasons, the powder blue road jerseys would spell out the city's name in solid blue letters, before changing to read "Blue Jays" for the rest of the uniform's existence.
Player names were added to the jerseys beginning in 1980 and were only on the powder blues for that one season.
A white-paneled cap and batting helmet were worn for all games in this era, featuring the classic blue jay head on top of a baseball, forming a maple leaf on its side.
These uniforms became synonymous with the Blue Jays, and were worn for some of the franchise's earliest iconic moments. The powder blue uniforms worn from 1979-1988 returned in 2008 for every Friday home game for three seasons.

Modernized look
In anticipation of their move into a modern stadium, the Blue Jays took an opportunity to modernize their uniforms for the 1989 season — the last at Exhibition Stadium and first at SkyDome.
Buttons were added to the jerseys and belts to the pants. As a result of the buttoned jersey, the same Blue Jay logo was shifted to the left side of the jersey. The classic split-font was retained, with "Blue Jays" staying on the home jersey and "Toronto" appearing for the first time since 1978.
A new cap was added, featuring the same logo but without the white front panel. After first being worn solely for road games, they became the full-time caps after a losing streak during the 1993 season turned them "unlucky".
In 1994, the Blue Jays introduced their first alternate jersey in franchise history — a blue version of the white home jersey.

1997-2003
Maple leaf and "Muscle Bird"
The Blue Jays' first major rebrand came for the 1997 season, updating the logos and fonts the team had used since its inception two decades prior.
The color red and maple leaf icon were heavily emphasized, most notably on the blue alternate jersey's wordmark and the brim of the red home cap.
A sleeveless white alternate jersey came in 1999, with fake sleeveless home and road version coming years later. The alternate uniforms introduced a new logo featuring a muscular, tattooed blue jay holding a bat around a T, marking the first time the team had a cap with a lettered logo.
In 2003, the "muscle bird" became sole Blue Jays logo, which only lasted for one season.

"Black Jays"
In 2003, the BLUE Jays became the "Black" Jays (figuatively, at least). The team's color scheme was completely revamped, with black becoming the primary color.
A brand new logo was introduced — a gray, 3D letter J with a hidden blue jay head to the left. This was accompanied by a swirly letter T on an alternate cap beginning in 2008.
Graphite road uniforms similar to the 2010s Arizona Diamondbacks were planned to be used on the road before Major League Baseball shot the idea down, pivoting to a traditional shade of gray with graphite caps briefly being used with the home whites.
Gone was the team's full name, with the white and black jerseys simply spelling out "Jays".
The original road uniforms of the set used a matching "Toronto" script to the homes, followed by block letters in 2008.
In 2009, a maple leaf patch was added to the right sleeve — the first time the club utilized a standalone maple leaf on a uniform.

Modern classic
The Blue Jays went back to their origins in 2012, with blue taking its rightful place as the primary color and the club's full team name returning to the front of the jerseys.
A new bird head logo and split font were introduced, combined with new uniforms essentialy being modernized versions of those used from 1989 to 1996.
Before the 2020 season, the Blue Jays released a powder blue jerseys, accompanied by a navy cap with a powder blue brim. Unlike the originals used from 1977 to 1988, these jerseys have navy blue letters and numbers, differing from the rest of the team's uniforms.
In 2023, a TD advertisement was added to the left sleeve, with the Blue Jays being the only team to not have its ad patch flip sleeves depending on each player's handness.
An updated white-paneled cap with the new bird head logo is used sporadically as an alternate option, first being worn in 2015 (along with an exact 1977 version for the franchise's 50th season in 2026). The white caps were not used at all during the 2023 and 2024 seasons before returning in September of 2025 and being worn throughout the team's run to the World Series.

2024-present
City Connect
As a part of Nike's City Connect program, the Blue Jays unveiled their first City Connect uniform in 2024.
The "Night Mode" uniforms are a very dark shade of navy from the cap down to the pants, following Nike's trend of using colored pants for a number of City Connect uniforms. "Toronto" is featured on the front of the jersey in the same font as the famous sign at Nathan Phillip's Square, on top of the city's skyline and its reflection into Lake Ontario. The T logo on the cap pays tribute to both the flag of Toronto and the shape of the Toronto city hall building.
The Blue Jays wear their City Connect uniforms for Friday night home games, and as with most uniforms from the program, are expected to last for a handful of seasons before being replaced by a new design.
1996-present
Canada Day
Since 1996, the Blue Jays have worn a red uniform in celebration of Canada Day. The uniforms often change, with elements such as logos, piping, and fonts matching those of the primary uniforms. From 1996 to 2013, each player wore "Canada" on the back of their jersey instead of their last name.
In 2017, the Blue Jays released a new red uniform — a red version of the blue alternate jersey and a red cap featuring a red maple leaf. These were worn for most Sunday home games in 2017 in honour of Canada's 150th anniversary, but more recently have been used almost exclusively on July 1st. In 2026, to go along with the team's 50th season celebrations, the Blue Jays are planning on bringing back the late 90s Canada Day cap to pair with the current red jerseys.
