That doesn't amuse me as much as the fact that the 8 has different dimensions on one loop versus the other. Odd.

Nah, a ton of good font sets are like that. The Leafs, for example have recently used font sets with a symmetrical 8:

and non:

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Symmetrical is what I expected/assumed, which is the opposite of the Jays', not an example of it.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Im not terribly worried about this series tbh, but this team has holes and the offense and part time players arent as good as this stretch makes them look. Im not comfortable with Straw on the roster once Varsho gets back, and im not comfortable with Schneider being the best RHH off the bench, or Ernie Clement vs RHP in general

and fwiw, it looks like the font the Jays are using this year has barely changed or is identical to what they were using in 2017

Just pointing out that non symmetrical 8's are common in graphic design/typography

1993: Non symmetrical

Raptors also non:

Mindz, i had no idea you were this passionate about this.

 

[MindzEye]

I do a bunch of lightish graphic design and not so light photoshop work these days, learning about fonts is part of what comes with doing that.

How does everyone feel about 9’s? Stick leg or swoopy umbrella handle?

For sports jerseys it's almost always going to be.....swoopy umbrella handle style.

Where do you stand on the Leafs rounded numbers from like 2000?

Non symmetrical 8s make me very uncomfortable.

A crime against the natural order of things.
