The Red Sox will play the New York Yankees, same team (then the New York Highlanders) they played on April 20, 1912. Both teams will wear 1912 throwback uniforms"This will be a sight to see. Yanks have never once worn a throwback. I'm sort of looking forward to seeing how it looks, but at the same time, I absolutely hate the idea of the Yankees in anything other than their pinstripes or current gray jerseys. At least it's a throwback, so it's something the team has historically worn. Still, this is flying slightly too close to the sun (as in wearing alternates) for me.EDIT: I'm hearing from some other fans that the Yanks did indeed wear a Negro League throwback in 1996. Never seen pictures of it though. 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...

xTr1pleXx Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 I love those Highlanders striped socks. It's not something I'd want to be a part of the current Yankee uniform, but they do look awesome.(Also, in a weird twist of irony, decades before the Yanks would have a predominantly red primary logo, they had red in their uniforms. Of course, for most of the time since 1947 when that logo was introduced, there hasn't been a speck of red anywhere else in the Yanks' identity. One of those odd ironies of that top hat logo.) 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...

scottysprings Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Damn, this is exciting. I seriously hope we get to see the blue and red hooped socks. Prior to this thread I'd never known of the Yankees' '96 throwbacks, anyone have more info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen pictures of it though.Wow, I can't believe there's not more photos of that. I did a Google search this morning for pictures, and could only find a picture from way up the 1st base line that didn't show much of anything. Outside of the cap, those are actually really good looking throwbacks.(Also, very weird to see the Yankees wear a jersey with piping.) 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...

RyanB06 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Considering there's a Detroit Stars cap in the front row to Mel Stottlemyre's left, I'd assume so.

BigBubba Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 So Boston may wear pinstripes and New York may wear red socks? Aïe! Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature. PotD: 29/1/12   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guest23 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 "Yankees" and "Throwbacks" should be placed in Jeopardy's "Department of redundancy department."you're oversimplifying things a tad...the yanks did have a handful of variants up until the 40's much like the majority of the mlb teams did in that early era.the biggest throwback miss of all time was the giants neglecting to go with the "world's champs" unis for at least a game last year...that would've been epic.

Claystation360 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Wow, I'm not a yankees fan in the least but the idea of them in something other then midnight navy and white is momentous. #DTWD #GoJaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 One less game fans have to see the ugly New York road jerseys. Seriously, if the interlocking NY was on the road jersey that Yankees could have the best uniform set in baseball. Classic NY > New York Block.Also, I would be shocked if the Red Sox went with the pinstripe option. Definitely expecting to see the one with Red Sox across the front.

xTr1pleXx Posted December 23, 2011 Author Share Posted December 23, 2011 "Yankees" and "Throwbacks" should be placed in Jeopardy's "Department of redundancy department."The Yankees' road uniform that they'd nomrally be wearing in that game only dates back to 1973. While it's certainly older than most uniforms, by no means is it one of the oldest in the game.Also when you have one of the most recognizable, classic uniforms in all of sports, as the pinstripes are, you tend to stick with it. Why mess with a good thing?(Frankly, I wish they'd bring back the pre-1973 road uni, but that's neither here nor there.) 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...
