"It’s expected the Blue Jays uniforms will have a new look for the 2012 season, one that will reflect a Canadian theme more than ever.

The team is playing coy as even a mention of a uniform change is hush-hush within the organization. But the change has been in the design phase for months and should be ready for unveiling by the beginning of next season.

Jays players, who wore red caps during the Canada Day weekend series in Toronto, could have a more pronounced maple leaf and red and white colours on the uniform to capture characteristics of the Canadian flag. The Jays have been wearing a bright red maple leaf on the right sleeve of their uniforms since the 2009 season.

With Canadian Brett Lawrie making his home debut Tuesday at the Rogers Centre, the Jays are also anxious to boost emphasis on their national marketing plan in Canada.

That plan blossomed during the World Series years in 1992-93, and saw the Jays play exhibition games in Western Canada. The club this year opened a minor league team in Vancouver and visits seven Canadian cities with a baseball training program featuring former greats like Robbie Alomar and Duane Ward.

Now, Lawrie may help spearhead the latest initiative to boost sales with a new design.

“Part of it is . . . we’ve put a team in Vancouver and we’re also trying to get as much TV exposure in Canada as we can,” Jays president Paul Beeston said. “But still, we have to perform on the field, that’s our best marketing tool.”

I really wanted the World Series era uniforms to make a comeback.

[jOOj]

They had me at colours.

Rumor has it the Padres are channeling the PCL Padres and the 80s Padres for new unis.

[Party]

Add the Mets to the list. (http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/mets/post/_/id/32181/in-depth-new-jersey-blue-horizon)

Padres' new uniforms a nod to tradition (http://sandiego.padres.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20111109&content_id=25946088&vkey=news_sd&c_id=sd)

[Fish Tank Frenzy]

I agree the cartoonish Orioles logo is horrible.

[mbitcronod12]

Can't say as I'm much of a fan of the piping for the Padres jersey's; especially the white piping on the navy jersey. It just looks kind of odd to me. I don't mind it as much on the white and grey jersey's.

[Fritz]

Thank God the Padres got rid of those crappy uniforms that looked like they were wearing dirty uniforms.

[Metes]

[kylekash]

I knew saving those spring training giveaways my grandparents had from the orioles when they played in Miami would one day pay off! Muahahahaha

[Party]

The Mets have eliminated black from their home and road jerseys:

[FishFF]

love the white

[Fritz]

Racist.

[FishFF]

The Met's eliminated the black, not I.

[Fritz]

The Mets are racist.

[marlins_virus.exe]

glad the mets ditched the black

as i've said before the cartoon bird is ridiculous and should stay in the 80s like the tri-color pinwheel hats

I want a cap and home white.

[Chewford]

They may have really, really awesome uniforms but I do not believe they had Pitbull perform an awkward concert to usher them in.

[Omar]

Beautiful

Also changed the font on the road script to match the home uni:

New road primary:

That is awful.

[mbitcronod12]

Honestly, it doesn't look much different than the Marlins road primary. Why do you think the Marlins looks good and the Giants looks awful?

[Party]

New road primary:

That is awful.

Huh? The piping doesn't even match.

The Giants ruined a decent road jersey by adding piping when it wasn't necessary.

[Party]

MLB ruled the Astros can wear these this season:

There was concern about the gun. The Astros are also rumored to be discussing changing their unis for 2013.

[Fritz]

Fucking awesome.
