Famous baseball player José Bautista who plays for the Toronto Blue Jays has collaborated with Canada Goose and revealed the brand's newest performance jacket.
The athlete rose in popularity in Canada after his iconic 'bat flip' moment and has taken advantage of that fact with this collaboration -- one that shows off his style in a way that he is unable to display on the field. The performance jacket has a classic silhouette and is is able to provide both warmth and functionality. The jacket has the baseball player's jersey number on it and is a limited-edition piece -- with only 190 units available.
Since the player has become an icon in Canada, it is fitting that he would choose an authentically Canadian brand to collaborate with.
