Toronto Blue Jays Bring Back Tube Socks, 80s Frill

Isn’t it fun to look back to the childhood days of your favorite baseball players? Sometimes but not when it involves 1970’s-era shorts and tube socks. The Pretty in Pink-inspired 80’s stuff we can deal with. Those nasty seventies, not so much.

It’s all part of a campaign from Publicis Toronto for the Toronto Blue Jays. Director James Haworth comments on the work saying, “Set in the 70’s and 80’s and shot in Florida on Color Reversal film, a film stock that was prevalent back in the day, and it gives the viewer a feeling of how things were, visually, in that time – especially in the 70’s.”

Hmm. Sometimes we’d rather not remember. But if you really want to remember, you can see all three commercials here.
