BBM Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 They actually have 3. The cap is different from the batting helmet logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazberg Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 If you dig, this seems like it's been discussed ad nauseum on here. The Tigers have a different D on their hats and jerseys too. I think it basically dates back to when stuff was hand cut and it wasn;t an exact science, so there were disparities. charles-noerenberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Bingo.These things stem from a day when such quirks were celebrated, not feared. Teams didn't have to have their entire "identity package" manicured and formatted.FWIW, the Yankees have four versions of their classic interlocking "NY":Home jersey / Cap / Batting helmet:And this one, the print logo:The print logo (which is my least favorite, by far) is the one most seen - in advertising, on stadium signage, on the microphones at press conferences, all around town.It's even on the field itself:I hate that logo.

Mac the Knife Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 You think perhaps with the move to the new stadium they might consolidate them into a single design? It'd be a perfect opportunity for them to do it, although I'm sure fans would have a fit if they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Consolidate them all? No way. Never happen. The Yanks have had two different logos since.... well, since they started wearing the interlocking "NY" on their jerseys.But eliminate the print logo? Maybe even the batting helmet logo, replacing both with the cap logo? I'd love to see it, and that's an achievable goal. And I don't think fans would mind that one at all.I'd also like them to use the new stadium as an opportunity to fix the uniform "improvements" made in the 1970s. Again, I'd love to see it but have my doubts. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQK Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 The "print" and "batting helmet" logo are the sae guys, and they are supposed to represent as best they can the stitched cap logo.

I hear you, Goth, and i don't dispute that even very small, insignificant details and differences on theis board are discussed to no end. However, i think what you guys are seeing as small differences is acutually just how the logo is produced in the media that it is in. The plastic "NY" batting helmet logo differes from the stitched "NY" cap logo only because it is plastic and not stitched. The same design is there. The pointed ends on the "y" almost touching the pointed ends on the "N", how the bottom of the "N" goes just a hair lower than the bottom of the "Y", whereas on the jersey logo, it's the opposite.Same logo, different media. That's all i'm saying Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 Do you really think New Era (and whatever company makes the BP decals) lack the ability to replicate the "NY"?Look at the N's crossbar - it is most emphatically not the same logo. Even New Era's notoriously lousy quality control can handle the curved crossbar, should the team so wish.... The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

THe cap logo looks great on the cap, but on the jersey it looks... well, it looks like crap. As does the jersey logo if put on the cap. I think for he uniform to look complete and correct, you need the two varied logos. Stay Tuned Sports Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEANS Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 on the Yankees style guide, there is only 1 cap / helmet logo, which is the logo above on the right with the curves in it, if you look at the helmet and Jeters cap above, they both use the cap logo with the curves. The NY on the shirt above is not part of their current style guide and would be referred to as a "copperstown" mark, meaning an old mark for the team.So as of right now, there are TWO NY logos, the cap / helmet NY and the left chest (uniform) NY https://www.andrewsterlachini.com/ or http://dribbble.com/MEANS1974  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 You'd think so, but that isn't the case. That's not a Cooperstown Collection shirt, and that mark isn't an old one at all - on the contrary, it's the one featured on every game cap for years if not decades.And check out Jeter's cap again:It's not the print logo. Again, the crossbar is the dead giveaway. We can quibble about the angles of the ends of the "N", but the "Y" is unmistakeable, and cannot be confused between the cap logo and the print logo.I'll admit that the Yanks' style guideline is really messed up. Call it "dumbed down", ignoring two of the four logos in use for some attampt at simplicity and clarity. My personal problem with it is that they emphasize an inferior logo and ignore a really sharp one. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

winghaz Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I'm trying to decide which logo I like the best. Tough call, but maybe the cap logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J23P Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 after reading everyone's comments i'd have to agree with those that making a swich to make the hat and jersey logos the same wont look good as a whole. i say leave it the way it is. i also once thought that adidas had one idea of the interlocking "NY" while other companies had another and that is why we have a few variations.

batman1211 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 This is not about the interlocking NY, but I recently saw that the Yankees will be wearing a Final Season patch for Yankee Stadium on their on field fleece pullovers. I saw this on their store web page. I didn't see it on any other clothing. I like it. http://shop.mlb.com/product/index.jsp?prod...1452360.1452527 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 One thing's for sure... that's one fantastic looking logo. I'm partial to the hat and uniform logos... don't like the one on the field nearly as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
