Notably one tshirt was the crown logo, with the Florida fish logo (the round one) on the sleeve.

If they cant put the MLB logo inside Nike's new-reduced placket, then they should move it to the sleeve where the Majestic logo was. 3 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

It's probably going to be the same reasoning George gave for why they didn't have a TATC look. The Yankee pinstripes are as much of a connection to the city as any possible City Connect look, just as the Yankees in their current uniform are exactly what you'd expect them to be wearing when facing the Mercury Mets in 2183. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in that store not long ago myself while I was on a business trip and saw those items you mentioned. The hat I believe has been for sale online for awhile now. So I don't think it's a new item. I don't see the shirt for sale online, though. I will also point out that I recall the MLB flagship store had a ton of the regular red and blue City Connect stuff too. I didn't get the impression that this teal reimagining was replacing it. I'd chalk it up to the "fashion" category that provides alternatives to the field worn stuff, but that's just my hunch.

They kinda lost their "we value our brand too much for this" cred, which is a shame, because I respected them for it. George probably wouldn't even have allowed the swoosh - or at least would have resisted as much as possible.

Didn't see that hat, however the t-shirt was prominently displayed in the City Connect section of the store (in the back, next to the register) where all the other teams city connect gear was being shown off. 1 hour ago, BBTV said: But after George died, the Yankees caved to every silly gimmick uniform MLB has trotted out (or at least hats)like the father's day.

The Yankees actually caved two years before George died, in 08 they did the first 4th of July hat: Jeter became hit leader the next year while the Yankees were wearing red hats: It's been downhill ever since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be because in that lighting, the turquoise kinda vanishes against the white. Maybe if it was a different color, the number would look more normal.

MLB team lettering has never been a consistent size across all teams, so by making it more uniform in height and weight, the arch can be flatter, reducing the chance that longer names will stretch armpit to armpit. Unless Simeon Woods Richardson gets traded to Texas. Quote Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not Saltalamacchia....it was someone else whose NOB dang near made a 3/4 around his jersey numbers. I think he played for the Rangers at one point...??

Can't find it now on a quick Google, but I've definitely seen some Red Sox merch using the City stencil wordmark, just recolored in classic navy and red.

Does this only apply to teams who use piping along the placket? The Yankees posted a picture of Soto's jersey in the team store, and the MLB logo is in the usual place. Unless they're still selling jerseys on the old template. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
