The Blue Jays hat featured one of Toronto's several area codes, an outline of Toronto's land mass, and a poutine.

In a statement shared with MTL Blog, New Era said that it removed the line of hats because a "few caps omitted a relevant area code" for their cities. 

"We apologize for any unintentional design mistake with regard to this collection."
