It's Just a Hat, not a Conspiracy.
People are freaking out a little bit that the new Jays Spring Training hat. I don't quite know what that means, other than it's yet another example of how some Jays fans just want to lose their shit about something.
This is the latest thing . Are you bored today or something?
When the hat first came out a few days ago, I wondered why it was navy blue. I wondered why not just do the "Blue Jays" blue version of the same idea. Dark blue isn't a Toronto Blue Jays colour.
I decided to play with Photoshop and change the colour just to see what it looked like. Behold:
It looks fine. I took the colour from the official logo to make sure it matched and when I was doing that, I realized something.
Look at the logo:
There is more dark blue on the actual bird face than the lighter blue that most associate with the Jays. Dark blue is a Jays colour. The designer just highlighted a different part of the logo.
So settle down.

Did you notice something? Yeah, it's a hell of a lot of dark blue in that logo. I made the dark blue parts hot pink to show how much.
So settle down.
