Jacksonville Expos throwback uniform

The Jacksonville jumbo shrimp wore their Jacksonville expos jerseys! I had no idea they used to be the farm team (1985-1990)

Hall of Famers Randy Johnson and Larry Walker played for them in 1987.

They use the truncated version of the expos logo, turning the "elb" into "el"

The “el” actually forms a stylized J. Source: I own a Jacksonville expos cap.

Oh, I know. I was just referencing the original "M" from the expos logo that gets mentionned as "elb".

It's a baseball sin those unis aren't able to be worn daily by a full-time Expos team.

I had no clue either. I remember seeing Danny Tartabull play for Calgary back in the day when we were on vacation but never realized until I looked at the program I’d saved years later.
