scottysprings Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Just found this on the Yankees shop. I doubt they would wear it being there's already a "27 World Championships" patch but that standalone red "CHAMPIONS" text looks absolutely horrible and tacky.

BBTV Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Nah, they sold those for the Phillies last year too. Was different than the real patch that they wore, and also had the stupid "champions" text.

kaiserthegreat Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 I would think a patch would make more sense, especially if the proclamation is a mandatory thing. Not ever logo/color scheme would lend itself to a gold trim, whereas you can slap a patch on any jersey. (Plus, the MLB would have an easier time selling patches over gold trim.)

Brian E Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 posted this in the new MLB stuff for 2010 thread also, but it's applicable here, too:for what's it worth, MLB Shop is selling 2010 on field patches and they include this one as saying it will be worn on the field by the yankees:here's the link:http://shop.mlb.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3929295&cp=3515449.3515465 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Nice looking patch, except for the leafs on the bottom. They can't be part of the banner, they're just there, I guess to give the circle a base?

They can't be part of the banner, they're just there, I guess to give the circle a base?It looks like they're part of the banner to me, but the gold outline around the entire patch makes that less obvious than it might otherwise be. Also, if the dark parts around the MLB logo were a continuation of the circle, wouldn't they also be trimmed in white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been an issue with a couple of other logos lately, like the one that Joe B. did for that team with the old-english D (can't remember the name.)

BBTV Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Disagree. I think more people would buy a jersey that they could just put on and wear, vs a patch that they'd either have to have sewn on to one of their existing jerseys, or go and buy a new jersey to put it on.

Gothamite Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I don't think the patches and jerseys are competing in the marketplace, any more than a jersey competes against a shot glass. I doubt that a majority of the people who buy the patches do so to sew on to clothing - jerseys are apparel, patches are collectibles. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.
