New Threads for the Herd

WHAT’S NEW: As the Blue Jays make great additions to the Herd roster this season, the Bisons have added two new looks for the team that takes the field in Buffalo! The club will wear two new jersey tops in 2022, a Royal Blue Alternate Jersey Top and a powder blue ‘Affiliation Blue’ Top.

The royal blue alternate top, which will be worn both at Sahlen Field and on the road, includes a scarlet red ‘Buffalo’ across the chest and the team’s popular and historic ‘Standing Buffalo’ logo patch on a sleeve. The new ‘Affiliation Blue’ combines a retro script ‘Bisons’ on the front and interlocking American and Canadian flags on a sleeve to pay tribute to the very successful partnership the team has with their MLB parent club, the Toronto Blue Jays, and their connection with fans from Southern Ontario.

Fans can pre-order blank and customizable versions of both jerseys in the club's official online shop.
