Swampee Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Do you think the Yankees will wear special jerseys on Opening Day 2010 with the gold outline around the outside of the logo and the numbers and a World Champions patch?The Phillies, Cardinals and Red Sox have done it, but I just can't see the Yankees doing it.

CDixonDesign Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I dont think they will. They've already released a cap with a 27 Championships patch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZapRowsdower8 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Gold pinstripes anyone?That would look awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDixonDesign Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Gold pinstripes would be hideous, at most they would outline the "NY" in gold, and I just doubt they would do that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottysprings Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I don't see the Yankees following the trend; They're an organization that like to set standards and set themselves apart, not do what everyone else is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Put me in the "no" column. The Yankees probably see it as beneath them or something to draw special attention to what they've now done 27 times. They believe any season without a World Series title is a failure. Winning one is just business as usual. Or something like that. Â Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just pay a fine. My guess is they won't wear them, but they'll sell a gold outlined version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDixonDesign Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Is the gold trim really a mandate? Maybe you've got a point, the Sox wore them during pregame, and then were in regular jerseys for the game in 07'....Guess we'll have wait and see...

ESTONES6 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 they proly will just have the patch on the their hat for the opening night. that's it. Girardi said a few days after they won that he wants to change his numbers from 27 to 28. i think they are pretty focused on getting another title more than celebrating last season.so, if anything just a patch on the hat, maybe sleeve, but i doubt anything more than just the hat.

tubby34 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 No, and one simple reason---The yanks have been here before, the Sox, Phillies and Cardinals had to wait decades (almost a centrury for one) to get the title. It's like they say in football, when you score act like you've done it before. It's sad these teams need to rely on the last year to boost sales and feel better about themselves. I don't mind a patch commerating it, but gold trimmed jerseys is just vain. (I'm a Marlins fan BTW, so don't think I'm a Yankee Apologist).

BallWonk Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Will the Yankees add gold trim? No. I'd almost be willing to bet money that they won't.But they should. There is no difference between wearing a commemorative patch and adding gold trim. Both are symbols that mean exactly the same thing. It's just that the gold trim is more subtle, and thus says it with more class, than the sleeve patch. If I ran the Yankees, I'd let my staff decide between a very simple sleeve patch of a pennant in midnight blue with the number "27" in Yankees block or a very thin gold outline around the NY logo on the cap. Either way, the Yankees should do something to mark their reigning championship, and they should do it all year long. It's one thing to act like you've been there before; it's quite another thing to act like you aren't actually there. Until the final out of the 2010 World Series, the Yankees are the champions of baseball, and they should take pride in that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersurge Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 LOL!I hate the Yankees. I could care less if they came out wearing pajamas and clown shoes. That being said, I figure I should try to at least contribute something of value to the thread.......If I had to choose between a patch and gold outline, I'd choose the patch. I think the gold outline isn't noticeable enough to make the same statement that a patch would. But again, I really could care less when it comes to that team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Well, much like when the Turn Ahead the Clock uniforms came out and they said, "We're already wearing our future look," my guess is that they'll say something similar for this. Something like, "Our normal uniforms already represent championships." And with 27 of them, they'd be right. (As much as it pains me to say it.)

The Red Sox wore them in 05 and 08 (though just for the pregame then). The Cards wore them in 07 and the Phils in 09, but in between the White Sox didn't wear them. Who knows, maybe MLB mocked it up and thought gold would look bad next to silver and axed it. It would have been pretty cool to see gold replace the silver on their jerseys, but I digress. I don't think the Yanks will wear any gold or commemerative patches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Yanks will wear any gold or commemerative patches.They should be more creative with these. The White Sox could have used gold pinstripes (or swapped silver for gold).The Phillies could have used gold stars.The Red Sox could have come up with a gold version of their hanging socks patch, and worn actual gold socks as well (yes I know it contradicts their name, but they're not going to spell out "GOLD SOX" on their jerseys. Actually....)Not sure what the Cardinals could have used, but if I'm turning red socks gold, I can turn red birds gold as well.Yankees shouldn't really do anything other than a patch. Or maybe a gold number 27 on the sleeve. "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."

koizim Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 They might do a patch that day, but I doubt they'll go for the whole blinged-out uniform treatment. Mind you, this 'tradition' dates back to 2006, so I don't think that it's any kind of MLB-mandated rule. Besides, the Yanks are going to have a ton of pomp and circumstance at the Stadium that day to commemorate the championship. They're a team that doesn't go for patches or uniform changes to mark an event, but when it comes to pre-game ceremonies, the Yankees take the cake.

soxkrazy Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Huge Sox head here, and just to clear things up, the Sox wore gold outline in '05 pregame ceremonies - just a patch on their jerseys and caps for that game. They did not wear gold outline on anything in '08 pregame or in the game. I know. I was stoked to get some new gear that spring and was greatly disappointed. No way the Yankees do anything but a cap patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
