Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong spray-paints over A’s logo at Toronto Blue Jays ballpark

Green Day front man Billie Joe Armstrong made his dissatisfaction with the A's known to the world, spray-painting over their logo at Rogers Centre, the Toronto Blue Jays' stadium.

Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong is in the news for something other than music.

The legendary punk rock front man posted a video of himself on Thursday appearing to spray paint over the Oakland A’s logo at Rogers Centre, the home of the Toronto Blue Jays. In a separate image posted by Armstrong, the A’s logo was painted over with a green “B” logo — likely meant to be that of Oakland’s new independent Pioneer League baseball team, the Oakland Ballers.

“Athletics” was also spray-painted over in green on the logo. Green Day performed at Rogers Centre on Thursday alongside The Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid and The Linda Lindas as part of The Saviors Tour.

Armstrong was born in Oakland and grew up in the East Bay, where Green Day was founded. He previously attended the “reverse boycott” organized by A’s supporters groups Last Dive Bar and Oakland 68’s in 2023. Armstrong has also been spotted at a Ballers game in their inaugural season.

Green Day and the Blue Jays did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Toronto Police said in an email to Bay Area News Group that they do not have anything on file about the incident.
