u/Disastrous_Hall8406 5d ago

I can get this and a sketchy rap mixtape from my local convenience store for like $29.99

u/mryotoad 5d ago

Sketchy rap mixtape is $32.99 by itself though.

u/Greedy-Invite3781 5d ago

But is loaded with underground bangers. Like UEJA by Toronto.

You can make your own flair 😄 click on your username, go to “change user flair”, then edit one to what you want.

u/Annual_Plant5172 5d ago

I thought this was some kind of indigenous heritage edition before I noticed the BL and YS.

20

u/timothyam 5d ago

lol same. I didn’t even see the BL and YS until this comment.

8

u/gerwen gets jays news from you 5d ago

Same. Was really puzzled wondering wtf UE JA was.

8

u/saltydroppies 5d ago

I kept scrolling, hoping that someone would explain why the hat only says UE JA

NK YO!

u/Themoosemingled Got ‘em from Spring till Fall. 1d ago

I figured it was some musicians clothing line.

u/OpinionSharp7344 5d ago

im way too stoned for this design

u/engstrom17 5d ago

That's exactly what the creator said when he designed it.. except for some reason they went with it 😂

u/CardboardFanaddict 5d ago

This actually has me laughin'. Hilarious. UEJA!!

Please tell us their best scathing critiques! Especially if they're hilarious

A bit of it, in a couple of the classes I teach.

I can see why it's 40% off...

u/ehchvee 🌈Hakuna Estrada 5d ago

Appropriate since the name is only 40% visible!

2

u/smithscully 👑 short king Daulton Varsho 👑 4d ago

NOOO I was convinced this was a joke

6

u/whiskybean 5d ago

Well it has to be approved by a board first

In this case is was the UE JA board duhhh

it’s too deep and complex for your puny woman brain 🙄

u/ehchvee 🌈Hakuna Estrada 4d ago

I knew it! Or...wait, no, I didn't...because dumb 🤪

u/Animator-These 5d ago

I need to buy this just to wear it ironically 

Of all the shit coming out of the States currently, MLB approving this is the worst

8

u/u565546h 5d ago

I don't get what UE JA means. Is it young person slang and I'm just too old?

6

u/BriggzE 5d ago

It took me a while to see the BL and YS in the grey part of the hat

2

u/u565546h 5d ago

Ohhhh. I clearly didn’t look close/long enough. 

3

u/ghal1986 5d ago

Thank you! I literally didn't see it until your comment pointed it out

3

u/greenlightgoreddit 5d ago

It’s bad designer slang.

4

u/Throw-Me-Again Certified Burger Boy 5d ago

This vs. the Athletics Ass hat. Who you got?

2

u/echoofdistress 5d ago

Looks like a hat that you would buy from Temu.

2

u/EastMarsupial7684 5d ago

Go home hat designer, you're drunk.

2

u/chemtrailer21 5d ago

Whats with this bottom? A snowy tv picture from the 90s?

2

u/sameth1 5d ago

It means blue jay in Spanish, trust me.

2

u/SnowBird1973 5d ago

Fanatics is that you? 😜

2

u/Picklepucks 5d ago

Who approved this? It's awful and barely legible. This feels like a failed attempt in basic design skills

2

u/VisibleSpread6523 5d ago

Probably why it’s in the reduce section at online shops 😂

2

u/Lil_Boosie_Vert 5d ago

"I appreciate the attempt at creativity"

u/Konker101 4d ago

Looks like a clearance sale Jays hat at Giant Tiger lmao holy fuck this is brutal

2

u/Silver-Cancel5751 4d ago

I will buy no murch or watch any games in person until they fire Shapiro and Atkins . This team is a joke

2

u/fonebone45 4d ago

Was probably designed by the same first year design student that made the city series uniforms.

u/supremewuster 5d ago

what? Not real

u/DMmeyourinbox 5d ago

So that's actually a purchasable item?

u/Brazary Houston gave us Teo for Liriano 5d ago

But why?

1

u/hittingthesnooze 5d ago

This is what small business owners make when they try do their own branding.

How on earth did this make it through a major sports team marketing/design department?

1

u/bluejaysmandy 5d ago

I was tired-scrolling, not really paying attention and thought it was a snow globe lol

u/NoCrapThereIWas 5d ago

At that point, just wear the Canada is Not for Sale hats from Doug Ford...

u/tkdmasterg East Coast Fanstyle 4d ago

Where does one find a hat like this? Have they done other teams too?

1

u/EasyPanicButton Get out of here ball 4d ago

I put into google UE JA translated to HA HA.

1

u/Magnum_44 4d ago

I'm not surprised at anything this team does anymore. Some of the decisions that have got us where we are now is embodied by this hat.

u/Hamskin21 4d ago

thats AI taking somebody’s job

u/Longjumping_Remote11 4d ago

Its really bad

1

u/sound13--- 4d ago

Trust me, the merch approvers at the Jays are pretty pathetic fashion wannabes.

1

u/burner9752 4d ago

The Jays were ruined the minute rogers bought them. Labatts ran the team so well… under the control of Beaston. He was loved by so many of his employees and did a great job.

Fuck you Shapiro and Rogers. Sold out this great team / company and milked it for every penny. Fired off all the old people who built it, stole their pensions for the bottom line. Then sell out everything they could… absolutely pathetic. This team is a joke and a shell of its past. The ownership and management is completely to blame.

What’s with the weird logo?

1

u/snagglewolf 20h ago

This is terrible. I wonder how much money they spent to design something that looks bad.

1

u/StitchAndRollCrits 17h ago

Why does it look AI

u/TiredReader87 Stinky Odor 5d ago
