A big part of the Yankees brand IS tradition. They promote the number of World Series championships as well as Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle and onward. Fans go to their home games wearing and expecting to see the Yankees wearing essentially the same gear they have been wearing for over a century. Actually there is charm in that. They are saying we don't need the extra sales that come with the City Connects. And no matter what design they were to come up with Yankee fans would probably feel a sense of betrayal. Like it or not, and I'm not a Yankees fan, their history and place in baseball is unique. The pinstripes and NY logo are known worldwide. Why would they mess with it. While I think not having players names on the back is a bit arrogant, I think giving the Yankees a pass on the City Connects is a good thing.
Well, you're more likely to see somebody wearing a Yankees hat than the hat of any other professional sports team anywhere in the world. Even teams like Liverpool FC, Chicago Bulls, NE Patriots & the New York Rangers don't come close.⚾
Steinbrenner spit on your phony "tradition" as soon as he stained it with some rotten insurance company. It's astonishing that Yankees fans suddenly forget that.
@@JuanVilorio I would love for a wealthy sponsor to buy sleeve ad that camouflages into the uniform except for barely perceptable font (within the pinstripe at home) that says 'Proud supporter of understated NYY tradition. If you concur, support xyz products llc'
Honestly I think it's hypocritical of the Yankees to put 'Starr Insurance' on the sleeve and then talk about tradition. I'm a young-ish (29) Yanks fan. I actually like the facial hair rules, the classic jersey, or no names on the back. I do however think a city connect that incorporates the 'Bronx Bombers' somewhere would be cool. If they're going ro sell sleeve space....then who cares about a city connect imo. The stupid insurance ad is way worse.
Pretty's much every team in the 4 NA leagues have ads now. I like how the Yankees went with a minimal sponsor logo.. but I get why would the Yankees need for money for a sponsor ahah
Do you remember many years ago when the Yankees would play in Japan and they had to wear a sponsorship logo on their jerseys for that series? There was uproar at the time, but I knew that it was likely greed would lead to the desecration of the uniforms with sponsors’ logos. I like tradition mostly, and the amount of adverts and teams wearing different unis every night is wearing, but I agree that one subtle alternate Yankees jersey would be fine.
For the Yankees, I would go with tradition if they didn't sell out with the advertising on the sleeve. Names on the back, never tradition. City Connect, never tradition. Advertising on the uniform, of course, Money. I am not a fan of the city connect uniforms, but this tradition thing meant nothing when it came to millions for advertising.
So the team wouldn't make money selling a new uniform when nearly every other team has? Did Yankees fans refuse to buy the Players Weekend uniforms too?
While I’ll admit I’m not a fan of the city connect program because of how poorly executed most of the jerseys are, I completely agree that the exemption of the Yankees from the program is flat out ridiculous and is another tacky move by their organization. Their refusal of the program completely disrespects all the other teams, especially the historic teams like the Red Sox and Cubs, who have embraced the program and its quirkiness to try to help bring more attention to the sport. I can understand the reasoning behind not giving the A’s a city connect jersey with the impending relocation, but they should’ve at least allowed the team to come up with a creative team themed alternative to at least have something a little fun in their final chapter. Overall, MLB could’ve done a much better job with the program and not getting all 30 teams involved and having some bad designs trashed by fans quickly will be the things that get remembered when this program is all said and done.
That yellow Yankees concept looked very cool. However the Yankees already have a city connect jersey, it’s the standard yankee pinstripe and hat. There is no more famous icon of New York across the world than the interlocking yankee N and Y. Internationally it’s such a representation of New York City that oftentimes foreigners aren’t even aware there’s a team associated with the logo. And in New York? There’s arguably no other logo that better shows pride in the city.
The Yankees uniform is a point of pride for us fans, and we don't need the MLB forcing uggly uniforms on to the team. The A's is a different story since they can't decide what they want for breakfast, let alone wanting to play some games internationally.
Cut the crap. It's a baseball team and one that isn't as hot to trot as all of you think. While I hate the City Connect unis, the Yankees aren't above all of this.
As a Yankee fan I LOVE the old-fashioned uniform rules, I hate the ad patch but would also hate a city connect or if they began putting names on the backs. I do think they need to let them grow beards though.
Yankees no longer have the “tradition” excuse anymore to fall back on. They lost the right to use it when they allowed that horrendous “Starr Insurance” patch on the side where the batter faces forward. Cause it’s not even on the same side for all players. They both look good. I liked the black and yellow. Reminded me of Batman colors. Batman, Gotham… anyway great vid as always
Disgusting. Cream colored uniforms look great before playing. But once the game starts and the players start sweating in them they start looking like they wearing piss stained uniforms.
@@wesleysteeleiv what jerseys have you been looking at? With the current fanatics issues, sure. But assuming they get fixed for next year, that isn’t an issue
Envision this...solid gold top and bottom. Like real gold color, 49ers pants color. And the NY logo is overlaid on a World Series trophy. And every player wears matching number 27. Epic troll. Fans would buy it out of stores within a day.
@@Lucky2000Zx the vast majority are crap. SF is OK. Seattle is OK. Atlanta is nice, but it's really just a throwback uni. The rest are pretty mid, if not just straight trash. The new St. Louis one has to be a troll job with that double entendre "The Lou" probably saying where management thinks MLB should shove this whole program.
I've been a Yankees fan since the mid-1980's and I cannot fathom seeing them in anything but their standard home and road jerseys. I was surprised by the change they made with the road jerseys, but I've gotten used to them. I don't like seeing Yankees replica jerseys with names on the back. I'm glad the Yankees stuck to their guns for the most part on maintaining their look, though I was peeved with seeing the Nike Logo and ad patch on the jersey. I'm tired of the sameness of the unfiorms and players. In an attempt for players and teams to stand out with their identities, they all end up looking the same. As for the navy blue, white pinstriped jersey, that almost became a reality in the early 1970's.
@brodiebrazil The Yanks did have one alternate jersey I think they only wore once for the Players weekend. They also wore throwbacks only twice I believe. They wore New York Highlanders jerseys at Fenway celebrating the 100 year anniversary of Fenway Park and they wore the old / current road jersey in the first Field of Dreams game.
1. Most of the city connect unis aren’t attractive. 2. The ad the Yankees have added to their uniform sleeves doesn’t mean they automatically have to have an ugly city connect uniform foisted on them that their fans would hate. 3. While it is perfectly OK, if folks like the city connect uniforms, not everyone does. So, if a team doesn’t want one, wouldn’t declare their reasons as “awful.” Although, I have to hand it to the content creator, because that word is what got me to watch this video.
Yankees city connect should be Mets colors or at least have orange to represent the city’s flag and Dutch history. The NY Giants and Yankees don’t even use their red 😐 they should match the Knicks color scheme as they darkened their blue to navy to match in 2022 and I imagine the rangers will do the same soon. The varsity teams should have the city’s colors and the failures even though all 8 suck Mets/Nets/Jets/Isles should use random color schemes like Black/Green/Yellow.
The Yankees logo and concept is patriotic so I think incorporating some Stars and Stripes would be cool. Definitely gotta put some red in there to stay on theme.
I totally get why the Yankees don't want a City Connect jersey. As an M's fan, it's really embarrassing that ours was used to "honor" the Brewers rather than anything in the PNW. It'd be like if the Royals wore Green and Gold for their City Connects, but at least the A's played in KC for more than a year! My preference for most of the West Coast teams City Connects would be either to hire a local artist to design something special or have all the cities from the old PCL wear updated throwbacks to that Open Classification era. The Oakland Oaks vs San Francisco Seals for City Connect day would be fun. A Seattle Rainiers Jersey would certainly be more connected to the Emerald City than what they put out.
In my opinion, once the Yankees decided to add an ad patch to their jersey, they should have stopped talking all of the tradition crap they say with their jerseys and get with the new day in age fully.
A simple jersey that they could do is the midnight blue with the cursive Yankees logo they use on jackets a lot with maybe white collar and the NY on the sleeve. As for the hat they could use the hat the Staten Island Yankees used which was the cursive Y with the bat and top hat. The pants could be either plan white or the regular pinstripe pants. The socks could be midnight blue with white outline of the skyline of the city.
Yankees took easy way out… Most these jerseys are awful, except maybe like 5-6. The rest are joke uniforms in my eyes. The Yankees rather than take the risk of being one of said joke uniforms decided not to play in this game at all. They know there’s literally no way to win, so they decided to sit it out.
only non yankee fans are worried about the yankees not having a city connect jersey. Get over it , we don't care. The Yankees are doing just fine in sales and don't need the silly gimmick
It’s ironic they claim tradition because the pinstripe Home Uni they currently have didn’t become regular until the early 30’s. The best Yankees team ever, 1927 wore plain white home uniforms that said Yankees across them in block letters.
Remember back in the 1970s when the Gabe Paul wanted an inverse of tradition that looked like pajamas. And somebody said no way. The Yankees can be on YES, Amazon Prime Video, etc but the uniform, clean shaven ball players, arrogance, no nameplates. Leave it alone. It stayed that way with the uniforms of the 70s. So when is #28 going to happen? Seattle and Atlanta have the best City Connect uniforms. Baltimore, Texas, Metropolitans, Pittsburgh are right behind. Oakland- green and gold, white shoes, moustaches, Bash Brothers, Catfish perfect game, Charlie Finley, Billy Ball, the only dynasty outside the Yankees, is a tradition but will be a memory. Save the A’s!
I’m from the Brooklyn and Jersey . Yankees fans don’t want a city connect . The Yankees mean so much to that area it’s ridiculous but given the history I definitely understand. I enjoy the city connects in baseball vs the nba though I will say that
You can buy a Yankee hat in every color you can possibly imagine. The Red Yankee hat in particular seems to be quite popular with young people. Why they can’t incorporate something slightly different into their uniform is just pretentious. And I’m surprised MLB and Nike mutually agreed to do this without all 30 teams on board. They also gave an exception to the Yankees for the AppleTV broadcasts, the one a couple weeks ago was non-exclusive for I believe the first time since they started doing the Apple Friday games.
The Yankees are tradition. The Yankees are baseball royalty. They will never have names on their uniforms. As for a additional merchandise, the Yankees sell plenty. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't sell the most of any team already. This Yankees fan says.....NEVER!!
Envision this...solid gold top and bottom. Like real gold color, 49ers pants color. And the NY logo is overlaid on a World Series trophy. And every player wears matching number 27. Epic troll. Fans would buy it out of stores within a day.
... which look sharp. However the Starr Insurance patch is an abomination, as is the Nike swoosh on the front. The swoosh looks OK on the front of a basketball or football jersey, but it belongs on the sleeve for baseball.
The only "City Connect" the Yankees should have to go the throwback route and have the ol' school cream home jerseys they wore during the 50s and 60s. Only fair since their new road jersey had the ol' school look.
Not a fan of City Connect uniforms. Not a Yankee fan, but respect that they aren’t going for the “trendy” gimmicks. Most of the fans hate them anyway. Nike just wants to push them for more money - that’s all.
Dodger fan, but I don’t blame the Yankees one bit. Teams should be organically connecting with their cities in so many other ways. Let the incompetent marketing people play with the socks, custom cleats, the hats for days of recognition etc but the uniform should be sacred (especially for iconic franchises). The Marines don’t toy with the legendary dress blues right?
Yankees care a lot about their image and THE look. Also, the fans literally do not care if we get a City Connect or not. I don’t know any Yankee fans that want one.
1. It is probably for the best for the Yankees no do a City Connect jersey. Many City Connects are divisive within fanbases. For example, the Rangers City Connects are much less popular with Rangers fans than neutral fans (mainly the pants). 2. If the Yankees ever done a City Connect jersey, I would go with a fauback New York Highlanders (the Yankees former name) jersey with white pinstriped hat with a navy bill. 3. Conspiracy theory- the Cardinals City Connects is more of a case of “alright get this over with” and the brass just picked the least offensive jersey. They half arsed it.
I think the STL jersey is a straight up troll. They picked "The Lou" because it's a somewhat commonly used phrase that can also, immediately by like 90% of fans, be read as "The Loo" which is STL's way of telling MLB where they think they should shove their City Connect jerseys.
Yankees need to pay homage to the Black Yankees. Black jerseys with white pinstripes or solid black. No names, no logos changes unless it's a throw back logo across the chest. I like how Steinbrenner has fought against them. Example is that players weekend in LA against the Dodgers years ago. Dodgers asked mlb if both teams could wear their regular uniforms for the last game out of respect to both of these great franchises. At the end of the day I don't want to see a Yankees Alternate
I despise this stupid city cash connect jersey program. It’s just terrible. Uniform mean nothing anymore. They’ll change it for just anything. Depends on what holiday or pride day falls on, they’ll crap all over team history to pander to people. Just shameful
It's not like the Yankees never stray away from tradition. They have used variant jerseys for occasions. The nicknames jersey for starters... the Field of Dreams variant. I think that Nike just failed to tie in the Yankees' tradition with the city of New York, or even the Bronx appropriately. And given how some of the other teams did theirs... well their new road Jersey Greys are a city-connect all on its own. Most New York City teams and fans are big on the name on the front and not on the back, hence why the Yankees don't have names on their jerseys.
And in addition, I just thought of this: @brodiebrazil look into this. The Yankees SWEAR they ONLY wear either the pinstripes at home or the grays with the New York on the road and nothing else EVER. Can you check and see what they wore in Dyersville, Iowa when they played the Field Of Dreams game? I believe it was a replica out of the early last century. It wasn’t one of the 2 TRADITIONAL uniforms. So much for their argument that they can only wear those 2. If they only wear those 2 and MLB calls for the replicas at the FOD, and the Yankees said no, then they wouldn’t have been selected to participate. They sucked it up for one night and wore an alternate uniform for a special event.
That game was played in August of 2021. The uniform top that the Yankees wore was a preview of what the changes they made to the road jerseys for 2024. The New York across the front is thinner. There are no stripes on the sleeve edges. The numbers on back are thinner as well. When they explained the changes this spring they said that this was a throwback to an earlier time in their history. Apparently, that must be true if that’s what MLB selected for them to wear for that game. The caps are a different story. They wore something way back in their history. I’d guess from the Murderer’s Row Era perhaps? They are participating for the first time this August in the Sunday Night Baseball from the LLWS in Williamsport, PA in a road game against the Detroit Tigers. According to Wikipedia, some years the teams wore special uniforms to commemorate the occasion and some years they wore their standard issue uniform. You know what the Yankees will do if they are given a choice.
There is absolutely nothing stopping MLB teams from selling things like the City Connect jerseys and caps in their merch stores or online. Nothing. The only reason MLB wants the teams to wear these costumes is to be able to call them “on-field” and authentic in order to add another $100 to the price. This is all nothing even that new. That navy Yankees jersey with the white pins is exactly the kind of thing you’d see in a sports apparel shop or from a street vendor in NYC in the 90’s. They look like cheap knockoffs.
Honestly, I get more excited about teams having cool raid uniforms. Love the Twins road gray with subtle pin stripes. Yankees my favorite team have crap road uniforms. Would loose to see “New York” with a skyline or maybe “New York” wi the images of Yankees legends around the world
No need to mess with the pinstripes. Unless I can personally approve the jersey. 😅 Fact is. There are two good city connection jerseys. KC's and San Diego's. The rest are lazy. Great idea with terrible execution.
As a Yankee fan (could you guess?) I'm glad they're not joining this bandwagon. Don't mess with the pinstripes. Tradition is VERY important in Yankee-world, and the longer a tradition is carried on the more important it becomes! In fact, I love the fact that they've gone back to the pre-1970's road jerseys and removed the white piping. That is OLD school!! And besides, this is just a cash-grab to sell more merch. So fuggeddabout it, ok?!
I can’t speak for the A’s, but the Yankees have class unlike the other 29 teams. I hate the Nike swoosh on the chest. Now fanatics making the uniforms cheap that rip apart.
In regards to Oakland and the A's City Connect jerseys, I have to disagree with Brodie's assessment. If he is indeed CORRECT that this was a "revenue generating" idea, MLB would have RUSHED production of a City Connect jersey, these would have been instant collectors items and likely due to demand could have sold for maybe 2X or 3X the price of another team/cities jersey. Add the possibility of a "final season" patch on the jersey and the $$$ go up even more.
Come on Brodie the Yankees don't have player names on their jerseys conforming is not in their vocabulary. But that said I think they should go really off the wall and wear the hockey jerseys they gave away a few weeks ago. I really want one of those.
Those ice cream sherbet uniforms of the Padres probably appeal to five-year-olds. But do five-year-olds buy merchandise? I like the Yankees facial hair policy. Do you really want your son to look like Charlie Blackmon when he grows up?
As a Yankees fan, i only want to see the pinstripes with the interlocking NY for home games and the road grays with New York printed across the front. The greatest organization in all of professional sports doesnt need minor league gimmicks
i can understand why either club will have the city connect jerseys. yankees is part of their brand but i will say i did like the art deco jersey you showed here it makes me think of the 2013 movie the great gatsby
