"Some logos transcend sports' Chris Creamer, the founder and editor of SportsLogos.Net, said the Dodgers and Yankees logos have been popularized to the point they transcend sports. You can wear a Yankees or a Dodgers cap [and] not be a baseball fan [or] have any knowledge of baseball whatsoever, he told CBC Toronto. He said the logos are worn by celebrities like Jay-Z and Ice Cube, which helps make them fashionable to a wider audience. Creamer said the logos' simplicity makes them versatile."
"They're one colour, they go with anything, he said. They can go in any colour scheme. The Blue Jays logo, which is three colours and includes a stylized bird and a maple leaf, does not have the same simplicity, he said. The opponents' logos are also more established, he said, having each been around for several decades. Creamer said the logos have become a symbol for the cities, not just the teams. The current Jays logo has only been around for 13 years."
Toronto fashion enthusiasts are swapping longtime Yankees and Dodgers caps for Blue Jays hats as the Blue Jays play in the World Series, but many find Jays caps harder to style. Blue Jays caps feature a three-colour logo with a stylized bird and a maple leaf, which reduces the minimalist simplicity that makes other caps versatile. Dodgers and Yankees logos are simple, often single-colour designs worn by celebrities, which helps them transcend sports and function as city symbols. Opponents' logos are more established, having existed for decades, while the current Blue Jays logo has been used for 13 years. Some fans are creating custom Blue Jays alternatives.
