flag The Toronto Blue Jays credit white-panel hats with a winning streak, adopting them as a playoff superstition after four straight wins.

flag The Toronto Blue Jays have adopted white-panel hats as a playoff superstition after a late-season winning streak began when they switched from their usual caps. flag The change, initiated by closer Jeff Hoffman and approved by manager John Schneider, coincided with four straight victories following a losing skid. flag While the team’s historical record with the hats is mixed, the current ritual has become central to their recent turnaround. flag The Jays also avoid red jerseys, which they haven’t won in since September 2022, and have other longstanding superstitions, including a belief in worn-out underwear and ditching batting gloves for home runs.
