I like the Jay used in the video, the cartoon looks silly...maybe great for a t-shirt, but not uniform...IMO.
The smiling goofy piddy-pat Blue Jay is just Silly... period.
You and I, as old geezers, probably prefer the blue and white panels...
Wouldn't work in todays helmets.
For me, hearkening to whatever traditions plays to the Hop legacy, but of course it's really about what the players like, not us.
I agree re the cartoon, though I think for a t-shirt etc it's fun.
Just to clarify, MD, while you are indeed an “old geezer,” BlueJaySince1947 is part of classical antiquity.
I enjoy reading both of your posts. However, 1947’s posts are truly special because, well, there may not be anyone else around who was alive during some of the events that he witnessed in person.
Learning of 1947’s existence was a bit like:
—Learning that the USS Constitution (launched in 1797) is still seaworthy and in active service;

—Reading about a nearly 1,500 year old Japanese construction company, Kongo Gumi (possibly founded by three Korean carpenters in 578 AD), is still in business; or

—Hearing that a grandson of 19th-century president John Tyler (1841-1845) is still alive.

In other words, BJS1947 shouldn’t exist, but he does!
Can’t beat that. Indeed, the half-century old cartoon Blue Jay is a Spring youngster by comparison.
