This T-shirt celebrating the team’s 1992 World Series win is almost too earnest for words.

If actual vintage isn’t your thing, have no fear. You can still get the look thanks to local brand Peace Collective, which currently has a massive selection of vintage-inspired Jays gear on its website, including this embroidered work jacket. ($189, Peace Collective)
