New York Yankees Primary Logo

new-york-yankees-primary-logo

New York Yankees

1968 - Present

The Yankees logo design highlighted with a red bat which extends to become the vertical line of the “K” of the red wordmark “Yankees.” Also the logo consists of an Uncle Sam top hat that is red, white and blue in color and hangs on the baseball bat on top of a white baseball with red seams. The powder blue under brim of the hat was removed from the previous logo.

Yankees Primary Logo

The New York Yankees have a long and storied history, and the team’s primary logo has been an iconic symbol of that legacy for many years. The original logo was designed in 1909 by Louis B. Tiffany & Co., which featured a blue interlocking “NY” on a white baseball cap with red trimming around the edges. This design remained unchanged until 1947 when it was updated to include navy blue lettering instead of the traditional red, as well as adding stars above each letter to signify their World Series wins at that time.

From then until 1973, minor changes were made such as changing from block letters to script fonts or adjusting colors slightly but overall this version stayed relatively consistent throughout those decades before being retired in 1974 due to copyright issues with Major League Baseball (MLB). In 1976 however, MLB allowed teams like New York, particularly in relation to the New York Yankees Alternate logo, who had previously used logos without permission back into compliance by licensing them officially through its own organization so they could be used legally once again without any problems arising from copyright infringement laws.

This new iteration of the NYY Logo still remains largely similar today; featuring navy-blue cursive letters surrounded by stars representing their championship titles over time while also incorporating different shades of grey for added detail and texture within its design elements - all coming together beautifully against either an off-white or light gray background depending on where you see it displayed most often! As one would expect given how much respect fans have held towards this particular emblem since first seeing it nearly 110 years ago now: no matter what else may come down the road ahead there will always remain something special about having your very own piece bearing these three simple yet powerful words emblazoned upon them: "NEW YORK YANKEES."
