Street Style: Jays fans flaunt their boldest blue and white

The newly unstoppable Blue Jays are hauling around their heaviest bandwagon since 1993. (If you just started paying attention, see here.) With baseball enthusiasts both new and old shelling out big bucks for tickets, we decided to head to the Rogers Centre to see how fans are showing off their Blue Jay pride. We noticed ticket-holders wearing team colours in plenty of creative ways: our favourites involved vintage jerseys, cornflower-blue baubles and indigo hair dye. Here, 25 high-five–worthy outfits.
