spyboy1 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I was wondering if anyone had any photos that would show the correct orientation of a 1952 New York Yankees 50th Anniversary sleeve patch.I've seen it on replica Mitchell & Ness jerseys two different ways, but have not had much luck finding a photo of an actual player from back then with that particular patch.The first way is with the Yankees word straight across and the outer works offsetand the other way is to have the outer words centered over each other and the Yankees wordmark slanted upwards.Perhaps this will be a case that the patch was sewn on both ways back then when they didn't pay as close attention to such details.Any help is greatly appreciated.

tmorss9 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Wordmark slanted up with ouside words centered on each other. Found the team pic at ultimateyankees.com (look at the 2nd 1952 pic, It was taken to the team's left, so a great view). No variation as far as I can tell, all look to be that way. "Hats for bats. Keep bats warm. Gracias" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Looks like outer words centered, "Yankees" on an angle.Man, that's an awkward patch. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spyboy1 Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 I'm willing to bet the patch was designed with the Yankees word straight, like the logo isand they sewed them on to center the words incorrectly. What team suddenly decides to rotate their logo like that?Thanks for the photo of the Mantle jersey. If you compare where the upper "1" and lower "5" line up with the pinstripe, it looks even more rotated counter clockwise than being centered.

What team suddenly decides to rotate their logo like that?The same designer who decides to move the bat out of alignment with the "k" and from a NE/SW to a NW/SE direction. That tells me that they were trying to make the logo work in an unfamiliar orientation. Certainly didn't need to - could have just increased the space between "50TH" and "YEAR" to make room for the bat as is. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
