They should abide to the same rules as all other MLB teams. The question should be: why aren't other teams following the Yankees' example in demanding that manufacturers subordinate their design practices to each team's aesthetic standards?

The road script has always had an altered "A" compared to the cap version, which was skinnier and vertically stretched. However, the replicas used the normal "A." Now we've got our first look at the FlexBase authentics and it uses the true "A." FlexBase 2016 CoolBase They've already shown they're willing to standardize their marks based on the helmet logos. If so, HUGE upgrade. That 100% needed to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJaxon Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I want to say I have read somewhere that the Yankees pay Majestic. The Yankees are not really in a position to demand anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks completely unbalanced now. They made the A twice as wide, but haven't moved everything over to compensate. This A even sticks out farther than the edge of the tomahawk. And the Big A isn't the only change. Note the other a's. They used to be of a much narrower lineweight, but now emulate the retro lowercase a from the old cap insignia.

Tigers6884 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Has anybody felt the material on the new Flexbase jerseys? Is it durable enough to justify the ridiculous $200+ price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodsep Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 That looks soooooo wrong. Like an NFL uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk36 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Agreed. At least they didn't make it a different color. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it durable enough to justify the ridiculous $200+ price? I have. At the Astros Team Store last weekend. Flex Base is, in my estimation, more durable than COOLBASE but not as durable as doubleknit. And the panel/sweat tail material is NOT the same as the old gusset material. It is a lot more like the stretchy material you'd find in the panels of football jerseys. So I guess it depends on how you feel about the price of CB jerseys. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 White Sox are wearing their 1976 throwbacks (no shorts) on July 23rd against Detroit and also giving away replica jerseys at that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Replica jersey giveaways are always awesome. I got a freebie 1974 Hank Aaron at the 40th anniversary, home opener a few years back. It's nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he refers when they changed from Climabase back to double-knit when they overhauled their look in 2012. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/print.jsp?ymd=20111117&content_id=25996396 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
