Earlier this week, the Blue Jays’ media members were treated to a sneak preview for a special announcement set to be made this morning:

Then last night, it seemed like it was going to be a pretty big ordeal:
Late night rehearsal with #BlueJays production crew, staff and OF Randal Grichuk & Co. for tomorrow’s big announcement. Can’t wait for you all to see the show. Get here early and grab a seat at the main stage. #NewBlue #TBJWinterFest pic.twitter.com/mk7e8JLhce

Now that Blue Jays’ third inaugural Winter Fest is underway, we finally have the big reveal:

POWDER BLUE ALTERNATE UNIS!
Cavan Biggio, Randal Grichuk, Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr were on hand to model the new alternate uniform for us, and it was a beautiful sight.
Both the jersey and pants are a powder blue with navy accents. The jersey and hat use the same current split font and logo, and the hat is navy with a powder blue rim. Players can also choose to wear navy cleats. The batters will also be wearing a new, matte navy batting helmet.
