Hello clunedog-ga! Even though we?re Red Sox fans, I gueeeeeeeess I can answer this question. ;) Although the New York Yankees uniform is arguably one of the most well known in all of American sports, I had never given the color much thought until now. According to the official New York Yankees site at MLB.com, the pinstripes were placed on the uniform for good in 1915 and have remained relatively unchanged since that time. Interestingly, the stripes are actually black. There were numerous cap design changes until settling in 1922 on a . . . NAVY blue cap. So there is the answer to your question: navy blue. http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/nyy/history/uniforms_logos.jsp This baseball-related blog also makes reference to the famous pinstripes. http://www.around-the-horn.com/?p=86 Baseball writer Harvey Frommer also makes reference to the 1915 uniform change in reference to other big ?January actions? within the New York Yankee organization. http://www.allsports.com/mlb/yankees/frommer130.htm If you have need of any further clarification please let me know how I can help. Play ball! Sincerely, Boquinha-ga Search terms: yankee baseball "uniform color" description |

I found this: "Home: The Yankees' home uniform is white with navy blue pinstripes, and an interlocking "NY" (different from the Mets interlocking "NY", which was taken from the Giants) on the left side (right side looking head on). Away: The Yankees' away uniform is gray with "New York" across the chest in navy blue sans serif font with a white outline. Navy blue trimming is present along the ends of the sleeves. Batting Practice/Spring Training: The Yankees' batting practice uniforms are dark blue with the interlocking "NY" in white on the right side. A note: The Yankees uniforms do not have player names on them, harkening back to the past." http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/New_York_Yankees_uniforms |
