On Friday night, the Toronto Blue Jays played their first World Series game in 32 years – with magnificent results. The Jays beat the Dodgers 11-4, in a fun-filled series opener that saw Addison Barger hit the league’s first-ever pinch-hit grand slam in a World Series.
Equally as magnificent were the fan looks, which featured a mix of vintage memorabilia, one-of-a-kind pieces and memorable accessories. Here are the best fan outfits we spotted outside the Rogers Centre before the game.
The owners of vintage clothing store Vintage Markham wear original items from the 1992 World Series.
Kyle, a coal miner from Fernie, B.C., previously bought his white Jays jacket at Rogers Centre and has been waiting for a good reason to wear it again.
Jamie and Brynne Bebek of Lethbridge, Alta. Brynne’s beaded necklace and earrings were handmade by a local Indigenous artist.
Pat Border of Kingston, Ont., wears a Jays poncho knitted by his grandmother.
Scott Ropp of Sudbury, Ont., used to only wear his Jays jacket for outdoor chores before deciding it was worth wearing properly.
