The Blue Jays have a series of ads airing on TV with the slogan "It's a different game up here." Some of them are a bit funny, others are not, and then there are the one's that just don't make any sence.
In the series there is one ad in which Blue Jays players are taking their gear off after a game. One of the players is in the process of taking of his socks, the thing is he has about 10 pairs of socks on. I guess this is supposed to be a joke about the weather in Canada... The only problem with this is that the Blue Jays play INDOORS! Unless the roof broke on SkyDome, or the player has some weird sock superstition, then the joke makes no sence.
The guy behind those ads has to be the smartest guy in the world!

The Baseball North campaign has done well. Along with the TV ads, there are ads running in the subway like "Phelps hit .309 last year, but with the exchange rate it's more like .454" "The most firepower north of buffalo" and showing delgado, saying "And we were worried about all our lumber going to the states" It's the first ad campaign in a while that has been interesting. And although the roof is closed in april... geez, have a little fun with it. We're representing the Jays as Canada's team, and Canada is... well, cold. My favourite ad is the one with Tosca sitting beside a giant freezer. You hear two thumps, and then he opens the door and says to Halladay "Congratulations, you're our starting pitcher." and you see two guys lying on the ground. Priceless.
