“Maple Leaf will grace jackets, Blue Jays' boss says in wake of club's new logo”

 
SMC quote from the article

Bob Stellick of Stellick Marketing Communications, said he was more surprised that the Blue Jays decided to redo their logo one year after introducing a T-bird logo.

"Marketers may not like it, but to me, baseball and other sports are passion goods industries, not packaged goods industries," Stellick said, adding that fans have become increasingly skeptical about uniform changes and don't always rush out to buy new jerseys.

"Actually, I was probably more surprised at an earlier redesign that enlarged the Maple Leaf," Stellick said. "I thought that was a little over the top."
