Is there any reason why the Blue Jays are called what they are?

Answer 1

the blue jays are named the blue jays because the held a draw for the name. The people of Toronto were asked to submit names that they thought the team should be called. The ballot that was selected had the name blue jays on it. that is why the blue jays are named the blue jays A further actual reason.........the original owners of the franchise in Toronto were a beer company called Labatt's, and their most popular brand of beer, at that time was Labatt's BLUE. I think you can see the connection? The blue jay, the real bird, is blue and white in color, and is loud and has a horrible sounding cry, and is prone to stealing anything that is shiny or glitters, such as tin foil, or plastic. So much for making a great choice of mascot, or emblem.
