Blue Jays mania is in full swing, and the energy is contagious. At game six, the carnival atmosphere downtown included a live percussion band, a guy on stilts tossing baseballs and some wild outfits that show Jays fans really know how to crank out a ’fit. We spotted fans wearing merch signed by their favourite players, plenty sporting vintage memorabilia and some who even designed their own clothes. Here, a ranking of the best-dressed fans outside the Rogers Centre.

Name: Chantelle Redman Age: 41 Occupation: Customer service manager for a hygiene company

“I’m a diehard fan, so I have my Blue Jays purse—and my Blue Jays hat because it’s raining today. I like to do blue makeup to match. I’ve got my Jays jacket, the jersey is Bautista, and I even have a Jays tank top underneath as well.”

“We’re going with the fish scale suit tonight. Very breathable, as you can tell. I’m probably going to be a pool of sweat by the end of this game. I also pimped it out with a couple of Blue Jays stickers on the side. We’re ready to go, ready for the Jays to win. Let’s go game seven!”

Woman wearing vintage knit Blue Jays sweater.

Name: Simone Duff Age: 31 Occupation: 911 operator

“It’s actually my grandfather’s sweater from the ’92 World Series. A guy he worked with crocheted it for him, and when he died it was the only thing of his that I wanted. I thought it might bring some good luck tonight!”

Older man in vintage Blue Jays sweatshirt.

Name: Lorrie Geffen Age: 74 Occupation: Lawyer

“I’m wearing a Blue Jays 1993 sweatshirt I bought when they won the World Series. They won the World Series in 1992, of course, and then again in 1993, so the sweatshirt says ‘back to back.’ I also have one from ’92, which I wore last time for the second game, but they lost that game just last week, so I decided to wear a new one this time, hoping for better luck.”

Older woman wearing blue sparkly jacket.

Name: Shelly Litman Age: 73 Occupation: Retired

“I am wearing designer Shelly Litman. I found this jacket at a thrift store and then had someone sew on all the patches because I absolutely adore the Blue Jays. I bought the hat at one of the Blue Jays games, and the skirt I found at Party City. The bag I bought in the United States, and the necklace I made myself.”
