The Chatham All-Stars Negro Leagues Tribute Jersey is kinda tough to find. There was some website (off the top I forget which one) that very recently had one for sale.. If I can find it, I'll post the link.

Was there a Canada Day jersey in 1996 & 1998? I only recall the 1997, and the 2001 version since they were red.. The Mickey Rivers site has a 2001 on there for sale..

Hey SCS,

Thanks for the reply, and info!! Any help is greatly appreciated. As far as I know, the Jays up until this point have worn 7 Canada Day jerseys.
Red in 1996
Red in 1997
White (with red) in 1998
White (with red) in 1999
Red in 2001
Red in 2002
Black (with red) in 2006

They've also worn Negro League jerseys twice. In 2001 at Shea Stadium, they wore a pin-stripped gray jersey with a large "C" and star inside on the front. I've only ever seen one of these online, and the auction ended months before I found the listing.

In 2002, while at home hosting the Red Sox, they wore a similar jersey, but this one was white pin-stripped jersey with the word "stars" scripted across the front. The Jays have sold some of these at auction, and I have three of them. It is the gray, C with star version that is at the top of my want list, where it's been for 7 years!!

Thanks again for your interest and time on this!!

Cheers,
Martyn
