The Nippon Blue Jays are a baseball team that play in the Campeonato Brasileiro de Beisebol (CBB), the top division of baseball in Brazil.

[2] The team is not officially affiliated with the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball, but uses their logo and colors.

This stems from José Pett, a Brazilian pitcher who signed with the MLB Blue Jays in 1993 as an international free agent; Pett's Brazilian club adopted the name “Blue Jays” in his honor, with the permission of the Toronto franchise.

[3][4][5] Toronto even donated authentic uniforms to the Brazilian club, upon Pett's request.
