Ok Blue Jays! How to look like a true-blue fan to cheer on Toronto’s boys of summer (and now fall)

It was 22 years ago that I remember sitting in my elementary school gymnasium, blue face paint smeared under my eyes, cheering on the Toronto Blue Jays to their second World Series win. I looked every bit the fan: mesh cap with the Blue Jays logo? Check. T-shirt celebrating the previous year’s victory? Check. Singing along to the, “OK BLUE JAYS!” part of the song, but never remembering any of the verses? Unfortunately, also check.

Now that we’re finally back in post-season play, it’s time to once again cheer our Jays on to success. While I still can’t quite master those verses, and I’m much less of a baseball fan now than I was then, it’s hard not to get excited about this year’s playoff run -- and all the styling possibilities. Need some advice on how to look the part of a true Jays fan? Check out our tips, and be sure to tweet us some of your own at @YahooStyleCA. 

Hair

If you’re looking to have your ponytail clearly express the team you’re supporting, you can go temporarily blue without making a full time commitment. Temporary hair dyes are a fun way to show team support, and some, like Garnier Color Styler, which we got to try, will work on any hair colour. This particular product works by coating the hair in a clay-based material, so you’ll be blue for a couple of days, and back to normal once you’ve shampooed your hair twice (sometimes more, depending on how much you use and how much your hair absorbs it).

In my mission to go blue, we started out with dry hair:

Since I only wanted some blue, I tied up the rest of my hair, and began working the product through the soon-to-be-blue strands:

I look really thoughtful about the process for some reason... (Photo credit: Simone Olivero)

Once the hair was saturated, I let it dry, then brushed it out. Because it’s clay-based, it will flake, but the colour stays on your hair.

Poor lighting, but you can tell what’s happening. (Photo credit: Simone Olivero)

And once you’ve cleaned up the blue dust, you have blue hair!

Makeup

While I wasn’t brave enough to try this particular look, there are some ladies on Instagram who have truly embraced their fandom and worked it into their makeup:

With some creative contouring, you can really get that beaked look while still staying high fashion.

You can also try some dramatic blue eye shadow, like this look using Sugarpill Cosmetics’ Pressed Eyeshadow in Velocity:

This dramatic eye makeup really calls to mind the Blue Jays logo:

And these lips will really get your point across when you’re screaming for the Jays at the top of your lungs:

Nails

Your nails can be the perfect place to express your fanaticism, either subtly or with bold contrast. I went for the subtle look today, donning Frostbite by China Glaze, which looks like a bright Blue Jays blue:

Some other great blues to consider are Butler Please or Bouncer, It’s Me! by Essie, Dating a Royal by OPI, Mutant 101 by CoverGirl, or In Prompt Blue by Sally Hansen.

If you’re more skilled, or find a local nail salon with some talented nail artists, you can even incorporate the Blue Jays logo:

Now, time to get in those team colours!

''It's a beautiful evening, fans. At the ballpark, when the game starts. Warm summer breezes, sun's going down. It's all dark at the ballpark. That's OK, it's a night game. OK, OK Blue Jays, Blue Jays! Lets, Let's play, play Ball!'' - OK Blue Jays (recorded in 1982 and still played during the seventh inning stretch) 🐦⚾ #OKBlueJays #game5 #letsplayball #Toronto #citysoundtrack
