McCall Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 I'd like to add that the Yankees' current set is completely overrated.I have always thought that the Yankees set was overrated. I can understand that the fans like it and all and don't want it to be changed, an I'm fine with that. It really only matters what your fans think of your uniforms. But I can't stand people trying to say that pinstripes are the best uniforms in baseball. The best uniforms in baseball are the A's. Hands down.That's strictly opinion. But it's as close to fact as it can be that the Yankees pinstriped homes are historic. Some of the youngens here just think cuz somethings not hip to them then it needs to be changed. Not everything traditional automatically needs to go. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Yes, but the Yankees could make necessary tweaks while not disrupting history, such as finally standardizing the NY logo (preferably using the cap version), and using this font for the road script.

Gothamite Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Who says those are "necessary"? Sandardizing the logos surely isn't - that's part of its pre-Photoshop charm. I have no particular love for the Detroit Tigers, but they have the same "problem," and I think they're every bit as correct to leave it alone. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

The print NY (or cap logo, for that matter) would get a bit lost in the pinstripes and would not stand out as the current NY on the chest does. As for the script, it's not bold enough for a jersey. Both the print NY and the script were not made for jerseys, they were made strictly for print. (Plus, "New York" looks great in big block letters, split by the buttons - it's why I love both the Mets' and Yankees' road wordmarks.)I've seen a ton of concepts that try to standardize the NY - none of them look as good as the Yankees' present look. The print and cap NY logos do not work as well on the pinstriped jersey, while the print and jersey NY logos do not work as well on the cap. Plus, the NY presently used on the chest is essentially a bolder and more detailed version of the one used on the cap - both of those have the Y extend below the N, whereas the print logo has the N extend below the Y. 1923 1927 1928 1932 1936 1937 1938 1939 1941 1943 1947 1949 1950 1951 1952 1953 1956 1958 1961 1962 1977 1978 1996 1998 1999 2000 2009 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
