Owners
On March 26, 1976, the American League granted an expansion franchise to a group consisting of Labatt Breweries, Imperial Trust Limited and The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. Both Labatt Breweries and Imperial Trust each con-trolled 45% of the team. The C.I.B.C. had the other 10% of the club. Imperial Trust was a holding company set up by the late R. Howard Webster, who was instrumental in the granting of the franchise in 1976. The Webster family still maintained their share of the ownership until selling their 45% to Labatt in November, 1991. The ownership then consisted of John Labatt Limited, 90% and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, 10%. In June of 1995 John Labatt Limited was purchased by Interbrew S.A., Belgium’s leading brewer.
In September of 2000, local ownership returned to the Toronto Blue Jays as Rogers Communications Inc. purchased 80% control of the franchise. John Labatt Limited (Interbrew) maintains a 20% interest while The Canadian Imperial Back of Commerce relinquished their stake. In January of 2004 Rogers Communications Inc. acquired the remaining 20% of the Club. Rogers Communications Inc. now owns 100% of the Toronto Blue Jays Baseball Club.
Logo History
| Years |
|
| 1977-1996 |
 In 1977 when the Toronto Blue Jays began play in the American League they sported the now familiar Blue Jays logo that was designed by Toronto-based Savage Sloan Ltd. |
| 1996-2002 |
 In 1997 the Blue Jays adopted a new team logo. The logo was designed by Major League Properties and brought the colour red into prominence as a maple leaf served as the backdrop for the bird logo. |
| 2003 |
 In 2000 the Blue Jays added an alternate logo on hats which were used exclusively as spring training and batting practice caps. The logo featured an animated Blue Jay holding a bat and reaching around a large red T to toss a ball in the air. The arm of the bird tossing the ball displays a red maple leaf. For the 2003 season, the alternate logo was used exclusively. |
| 2004-Present |
 Brandid, a Toronto-based firm, was selected in early 2002 from competing design teams to create a new primary mark, that would form the launching point for the rebranding process. The end result is a newly styled blue jay extending to the left from "Jays" lettering based on traditional baseball script with three-dimensional metallic letters. |
