The new logo was designed by Savage Sloan Limited of Toron- to, the same company that designed the club's original logo in 1976. The commemorative logo will appear on all promotional items, news releases, stationary and will be prominently displayed on the left sleeve of the club's uniforms. The logo features the number 10 representing the 10th anniver- sary of the team. The Blue Jays crest, a stylized Blue Jay on a red baseball outline incorporating a maple leaf is superimposed on the zero. A white script indicating 10th anniverary '86 runs in a navy blue banner across the bottom of the logo. It represents four facets of the club's identity: The 10th anniversary, the 1986 season, baseball and the fact the club is Canadian. The 10th anniversary season also celebrates the club's rise from a mere expansion team to a defending division champion in only nine short years of existence. Since the Blue Jays first game against the Chicago White Sox at Exhibition Stadium on April 7, 1977, a total of 153 players have worn the Toronto uniform. During the fist nine years, 14,636,025 fans have passed through the turnstiles at Exhibition Stadium and a total of 26,954,068 have enjoyed Blue Jays baseball across North America.
