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.

1. A’s may not exist by 2027 2. New York Yankees have uniform codes like the military 3. Good Luck 🍀

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.

the blue mock-up is the jersey the stadium workers wear lol

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.

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.

All or none? Considering how bad 90% of these City Connects are horrible. Why would the Yankees want that? Would your recolor the Mona Lisa?

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.

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.

First Im NOT a fan of the City Connect jerseys BUT the Yankees act like they are above all the teams and Fisher is terrified to come up with and approve a City Connect jersey for the A's, as it would prove him wrong yet again about lack of fan support for the A's. Any A's City Connect jersey would be a huge seller....can't have that!

As a Yankees fan ive been saying that they need to adapt. All that tradition stuff is played out!

A's Alternative Jersey: X out Philadelphia, Kansas City, Oakland and Sacramento. Hat: A Question Mark

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.

I think they Yankees should add a cream version of their home jersey to wear on Sunday home day games

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.

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.

I’m not quite sure why he says the Yankees, have not had any alternate jerseys if I’m not mistaken, the all black uniforms are an alternate jersey

Yankees "high on tradition" but had no problem with starr patches lmao

yankees fans would complain about a city connect jersey and then buy it a month later
