Toronto Blue Jays Jersey

I bought this jersey a couple of days after Alex Rios was traded from the Blue Jays to the Chicago White Sox. I was never a fan of Rios, so it kinda sucked that I had to get his name on the back. But I really wanted a Blue Jays jersey, especially a Jays jersey in vintage powder blue. The jersey is made by Majestic, a company that has made MLB jersey’s for years. I’m not ashamed to say it, but I kinda wish Nike would have made the jersey instead; somehow the Swoosh makes it look and feel better. I honestly would buy more baseball jersey’s if they were made by Nike. However Majestic does still provide excellent quality. I love this jersey because it isn’t a button down, but instead it’s a one piece that doesn’t leave holes when I sit down (like most button shirts). It is made from thick polyester, and the logos are ironed on and then stitched. This feature is great because it is built to last. I’m glad I picked this jersey up and hope to maybe one day add a 90’s version of the Blue Jays jersey to my collection.

Brazil Jersey

I was born in Central America and grew up in Canada. Unfortunately both my birth country (El Salvador) and home country (Canada) suck in soccer. As a result in my home we were forced to choose an alternative team to cheer for; either Brazil or Argentina. I love both teams but I have always been smitten by the Brazilian team. Their history is amazing with such greats as Pelé and Ronaldo; their style of play is breathtaking with samba-like moves, their wins are impressive with having won 5 world cups, and their future seems bright with up and coming players such as Neymar and Pato. While the team is currently not performing at its greatest, it is still a fairly young team that can be built into something amazing by the upcoming World Cup in Brazil. Till then I picked up this amazing Brazil jersey to enjoy. It is not the actual on-the-pitch version, but a cotton Dri-fit version from Nike. I love this material because it doesn’t stick to my skin when I start to sweat. It is solid yellow with a green strip along the shoulders. It is also an upgrade from my previous t-shirt jersey that I got in 1998. I don’t have many jerseys in my collection, but hope to start featuring them on this blog.
