- Its original name was the Bluefield Blue-Grays.
- Meaning and history The logo of the baseball team Bluefield Blue Jays playing in the Rookie Appalachian League is heavily based on that of their parent team, the Toronto Blue Jays.
- 1977 — 1996 The logo, designed in 1977, was created for the club’s name Toronto Blue Jays and features a cold and light blue, red, and white color palette, bold lettering, and a memorable bird drawing.

- 1997 — 2000 The redesign of 1997 refined the contours of the emblem and made it look three-dimensional by adding some light-gray gradients to the bird’s head.
