Proc Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I've noticed the Yankees have been wearing snap-up, satin (Starter-like) jackets while the rest of the league has been wearing the Majestic jackets that zip up.Are the Yankees previewing a league-wide return to the old school style satin jackets?

Chazberg Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 The Yankees do whatever the hell they want. They don't even have the Majestic logo on their jerseys. charles-noerenberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.A. Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Not all Yankees wear the satin. Guidry wears last years Majestic Premier Jacket. I wish they would sport the grey premier jacket on the road, I like that one the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkdesign Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 The Yankees have worn only that model for years. One year the even put red into it, but for the most part it hasn't changed. Walk DesignTwitterDribbbleFacebookGoogle+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koizim Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 The Yankees do whatever the hell they want. Damn straight! The Yankees have worn the same jacket (with some minor changes) since the 1950s. Long live satin jackets! Engine, Engine, Number Nine, on the New York transit line, If my train goes off the track, pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up! Back on the scene, crispy and clean, You can try, but then why, 'cause you can't intervene. We be the outcast, down for the settle. Won't play the rock, won't play the pebble.

Gothamite Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Agreed. Good for the Yankees.If only Steinbrenner had resisted the silly new BP cap stylings, as he did the last round. Who would have thought that Arte Moreno could teach the Boss a thing or two? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illini1 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Does it have something to do with the Yankees signing a deal with Adidas a few years back? I'm not sure about how many years the contract is, but maybe they signed it before the deal with Majestic and MLB went into effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M59 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I know they get fined a little bit for this kind of stuff, but I would fine 'em until they bled. This business of "we're better than the league, we're above league rules" is typical Yankee$ arrogant bulls**t, and needs to be stopped.Nice pitching staff they've got this year, though. Might have a problem purchasing this years AL East pennant with that lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, I don't see how the Yankees pitching staff is related to the topic of this thread. Second of all, don't be such a homer.

nybatt Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I remember back in 1997 the plan was to bring back the historically accurate red backdrop to the yankee script on the satin jackets, which in my opinion look fantastic. Out of superstition (winning the '96 series) Joe Torre nixed the idea. The red has never made it into the dugout gear, BUT can be purchased. I actually saw someone in a crowd shot earlier this season wearing the red-accented jacket.It is an extremely classy look and would be a great connection to the glory days of the '40's and '50's.

jojotarantino Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 The Yankees would be the only team to do whatever they want, which is BS. But at the same time it' nice to see a team fight this cookie cutter feel to some of this MLB stuff, although they gave in to wearing the new BP gear. I would like to see all teams design their own jackets, BP gear. Every team wearing the same stuff sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erlovepuck Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Despite hating the Yankees, they are a team that gets it right here. I have always liked that they resisted this change. The old school satin jackets are classic, I bought a Mets one on eBay last year and its infinitely nicer than the current designs.MLB needs to stop forcing these changes every year or two to sell more gear. This need to constantly release new designs leads to ridiculous things like the stretch panel on the new BP caps and logo patches on the wrists of the current dugout jackets rather than on the upper sleeves. Not to mention some of the ridiculous piping they put on some of these jackets. They're "uniforms" because each team is supposed to be uniform within itself not to the entire league.

leedsunited Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 YANKS = smarter than the rest of 'em.The clean satin jackets they use sure beat the hell out of the colorrific b.s. the other teams wear like the templates that they are.I know they get fined a little bit for this kind of stuff, but I would fine 'em until they bled. This business of "we're better than the league, we're above league rules" is typical Yankee$ arrogant bulls**t, and needs to be stopped.Nice pitching staff they've got this year, though. Might have a problem purchasing this years AL East pennant with that lot!In this case, the Yanks are absolutely right. Screw the template jackets that everyone else are wearing.

Bouj Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I've seen the satin jacket for sale for a few other teams, but the Yanks are the only ones who were them in the games. And they wear the other Majestic jackets too, so I don't see the big deal. It's a good look. And no tevery team wears the same thing necessarily. In 2005, Majestic had the leather and wool "letterman-style" jackets for some of the playoff teams, but not all of them. The White Sox wore them in the WS, the Astros didn't.And the whole "The Yankees do what they want" thing is a little overblown. They can't just do whatever. They, and their fans, think they can, but they're wearing the new BP caps and jerseys with the piping, so there you go. And remember when the Yanks put up that sign during Spring Training last year apologizing for the missing players (due to the WBC) and basically belittling the event? Bud and MLB were on them hard and fast over it. That sign never appeared again and Big George sort of apologized for the sign. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!
