It seems like Toronto teams are taking a page out of the Blue Jays handbook.
Over the last several seasons, and especially during the Blue Jays memorable 2025 post season run, one of the most visible - and iconic - part of the team has been the home run jacket.
Given and worn every time a player hits a home run, and occasionally other instances as well, the jacket has become an integral part of the generation of Blue Jays and their fans.
Now, another Toronto-based team is using the Blue Jays as inspiration and creating their own version.
The Toronto Sceptres of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) have unveiled their "Pretty Woman Jacket", modelled after the Jays article of clothing. Since their are no home runs in hockey and given that handing it out after every goal is impractical, the jacket is instead awarded to the game's most valuable player.

Blue Jays have inspired a nation, local area sports teams
The Blue Jays 2025 run to the World Series inspired not only a nation of fans, but also several local area sports teams. While the Sceptres are the only ones to unveil a jacket, many other teams have tried to emulate the Blue Jays' style and clubhouse culture.
2026 could be an interesting year for Toronto sports.
