The Mavs are wearing a special alternate jersey on Friday. They are bringing back the Baby Spreys jersey design for a second year. A social media post from the team says the jersey design celebrates Canada’s baseball history by combining elements from the country’s two iconic Major League teams, the Toronto Blue Jays and Montreal Expos. This includes numbers and cuff striping inspired by the Blue Jays, and shoulder striping and chest logo placement inspired by the Expos, with colours that blend the looks of both Canadian clubs.

A limited number of non-game-worn jerseys will be available for sale by the Mavs, with game-worn jerseys also available for purchase. The team will wear the jerseys during six home games this season, concluding on July 25, when the purchased game-worn jerseys can be taken.

The Mavs will travel to Swift Current on Saturday for a 5:57 p.m. contest against the 57s.

Then on Sunday, the Mavs are in Brooks for a 2:05 p.m. contest against the Bombers. The final meeting of the season with the Mavs’ closest geographical opponent.
