IceCap Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 It's nice, but I don't like the gold. I get that "gold=championship," but gold just isn't a colour I associate with the Yankees. If they felt they needed a third colour I would rather they had gone with red.

Gothamite Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Ah, I like it.I especially like that they used the proper cap logo instead of the print logo. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Change the gold to silver, so it matches the other logos, and this is very nice. And that's as much as I can say about it, hating the Yankees and all Back-to-Back Fatal Forty Champion 2015 & 2016 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Because the league's official style sheets don't include the actual cap logo. They show the print logo as the cap logo.

I did not know that. The Yanks cap logo was my one little pet peeve on the website, but I guess I'll have to deal with it. Is there any reason as to why the official cap logo isn't included in the MLB style guide? 1980.1981.1982.1983New York Yankees~27 World Championships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Yankees almost never use the cap logo - on merchandise and signage, it's almost always the jersey version or the print version. This is a rare glimpse at the logo not on a cap.I hate the print logo. It's unbalanced and goofy, vastly inferior to either of the logos actually worn on uniforms. I'd love to see it phased out altogether. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Cesarano Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Apart from the fact that this logo incorporates the cap logo, there are two other nice things about it:1) it uses the Yankee number font. After 37 years, this number font has become nearly as identifiably "Yankee" as the logo.2) it uses the proper term "World Champion(ships)". This term had been falling out of use lately, as the kiddies (those adorable tykes who refer to Major League Baseball as "em ell bee") have increasingly said "World Series Champion(ship)". Kudos to the Yankees for continuing to use proper terminology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Couldn't agree more about the World Championships. Can't stand the downgrading of "World Series Champions" and "Super Bowl Champions". Until the time when another country forms a league that can compete with the majors, the team that wins it all is the World champ.But wait - this is how they're using the logo?Could this be for the pre-game ceremony at Opening Day next year? Will the Yankees wear a pinstriped jersey trimmed in gold, as has become something of a tradition in recent years? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

CDixonDesign Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 The most I would see the Yankees doing was having the interlocking logo outlined in Gold. Gold pinstripes would be way over the top...teams have only outlined logos in the past: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Didn't mean to imply gold pinstripes - I meant the logo trimmed in gold. The Yankee version of what the Red Sox and Phillies did.Could this be for the pre-game ceremony at Opening Day next year?

They are (or think they are) above such thingsI don't even think that they would wear them that long. The last couple years, teams have worn the gold-trimmed uniforms only in the pre-game ring ceremony. I can see them wearing this cap for the ceremony, then changing back to the regular game caps before the fitst pitch is thrown. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Gothamite Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I think they're insulated against the charge of arrogance, since the tradition was inaugurated by the Red Sox and repeated by the Phillies.

goforbroke Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Its not about arrogance, its about staying focused on the goal. The celebration of 2009 is over by April. They raise the flag and get their rings and then start work on 2010. Unlike a lot of other teams (and this is not an insult by any means its just a different line of thinking) that use the entire 2010 campaign to establish themselves as defending champions, and wear patches, paint logos on the field, etc. The Yankees just don't do that. They celebrate through the winter but once the new season starts everything that happened in 2009 is over and now they are focused on 2010.

Gothamite Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I agree - they'll enjoy the accomplishment, and when the 2010 season starts, it's back to business.I'm not convinced, though, that they need stop enjoying the accomplishment right up to the moment the 2010 season starts with the first pitch. That includes the pre-game ring ceremony. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
