I remember back in 2003 when the Yankees featured their 100th anniversary patch on the cap and sleeve it came as a shock, as there was no mention of it until opening night in Toronto. They went all through Spring Training with regual caps and jerseys, and I remember being personally surprised, and trying to make out what the patch said the night of that first game in Toronto (which also happens to be thenight Jeter seperated his shoulder due to his collission with recent Red Sox minor leaguer Ken Huckaby
...just wanted to point that out).
Anyways, keeping in mind that the Yankees are hosting the All Star game this year, and that the host team has worn a patch on their sleeve all season going back quite a few years now, it's expected that they feature a patch. I know this isn't a significant topic or anthing, but being the uni-history nut that I am I felt the need to point this out. While browsing the Yankee page on shop.mlb.com I noticed that they have available for purchase the 2008 jerseys with not one, but TWO sleeve patches. Makes you wonder what happens when we make the World Series. Do they replace the one on the right with the Series patch, or just add it to the sleeve, having two on it (three in total).
I want to get one, but they're not yet available customized. Only can be ordered with no number on the back.
