The Most Stylish Jersey in All of Baseball: The NY Yankees

Navy & White Pin Stripes Earn the NY Yankees the "Most Stylish MLB Jersey" Title for 2012

Baseball fans had a lot to enjoy about this season. With rivalries in full swing and a sweep of a world series, it’s difficult for anyone who loves the game to ignore the exciting displays that occurred on the field throughout the 2012 season. One thing that often gets overlooked in baseball, however, is the style of each team’s uniforms. A lot of people don’t even realize just how stylish some of the MLB uniforms are, and thus overlook this aspect of the game. The fact is, being well-dressed on the field often results in a boost in confidence, which is sometimes exactly what it takes to win a game. The New York Yankees were, without doubt, the most stylish dressed team on the field this season.


The Most Stylish Players on the Most Stylish Dressed Team: Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez

That the NY Yankees have a sense of style should be of no surprise. Not too long did we award Yankees players Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez as two of the best dressed players in MLB. This time we focused our attention on the entire team on the field. Here are all the reasons why the NY Yankees rank on the top of our list of the most stylish baseball jerseys for 2012.

Home Jersey
When most people think of the style of the Yankees, it is their home jersey that typically comes to mind. The Yankees home jersey is practically a household image at this point in time, being perhaps the most well-known in the league. Consisting of blue and white pinstripes, the jersey is clean, sophisticated and rather appropriate for the team. It features a “NY” emblem on the left breast in blue, as well as blue numbering on the back. Paired with pants that feature the same blue and white pinstripes, the ensemble is cohesive without being “busy.” Tie it off with the exceptionally well-known blue Yankees cap with white emblem, and you’ve got an on-field ensemble that is difficult to argue with.

Away Jersey
The away jersey of the NY Yankees is certainly quite a bit different from their home uniform, but this is not to say that it is any less attractive. This jersey consists of grey pants topped with a grey shirt, featuring “New York” embroidered across the chest. As the away team is never as well-recognized in a stadium as the home team, this is an effective way for the Yankees to gain attention to themselves while on the road. While it could easily be considered a bit drab in comparison with the crisp, clean pinstripes they wear at home, the team’s away jersey serves a purpose, and is a strong choice for the Yankees.

What You Can Learn
Modern men can learn a lot from analyzing the Yankees home and away jerseys. For one, the pinstripes featured on their home jersey can be incorporated into practically any type of ensemble; Derek Jeter often wears suits that utilize this pattern. The clarified logo on the front of their away jerseys is also worth paying attention to, as it shows that sometimes making a statement with one’s fashion can be very effective. While wearing logos on clothing isn’t always the best choice, this concept can be applied to a variety of different clothing pieces. Instantly coming to mind are the classic RL polo shirts.
