I love Game Used Stuff that was used in 1 game. I have Opening Day Bases , a Mother's Day Bat , 2 Hats ( Canada Day & 9/11 ) , Line-up Cards and Baseballs.
But just a few minutes ago the Fed-X man rang the doorbell with this :
Vernon Wells 4/04/08 Game Used Home Opener FLASH BACK FRIDAY Retro Jersey !!

Hey Scott, I'll have to pick one up myself as well!! Is the material cool base?

The Material is the regular Jersey Material not cool base. Another thing I like about it. Truly Retro.
If anyone can help with a few Pictures ( Photo-match ) I would greatly appreciate it.

It shouldn't be too tough photo matching it. I remember see photos of Vernon in that jersey on the MLB site, in the Star & Sun. Getty has these:

Didn't know that.. The wrap section is just a link in the boxscore section, eg:

Awesome match with the scuff marks on the 1 and 0 in the picture of him sliding.

I love the old Jays jerseys and logos much better than the new stuff. It seems like teams always mess with a good thing and screw up a look as time goes by.

Actually they are not scuff marks , just how the light hits them. The Blue Jays Logo on the front does it too. Looks different on some photos.

I agree to a point. I dont mind them changing the Uniforms so Much , but I wish the Jays would have kept the Original LOGO. I hated when they changed for 1997 , then again with that stupid temporary T-Bird on Steriods. The newest looks good , but I like the Original the best.
I Did not mind at all when the dropped the Baby Blues the 1st time and went to the logo on the side ... at least it was still the original.

Hey Scott,

Easily the best jersey design the club has ever had. Good score!

Did you get this jersey from Darryl at the club? If anyone else is interested, you can email me at touch_em_all_joe@yahoo.ca and I'll put you in contact with the guy who sells these from the club. The list I got last week shows that he's got about 15-20 or so left from this specific game.

Cheers,
Martyn

I called the Jays shop since I had just got an Overbay Jersey in Nov. 08 and went directly through the jays shop on that one. But they did hook me up with Darryl this time and said he will be leading the Jays Game Used dept. this year.
