Yankees Set To Unveil New Uniforms

The New York Yankees have long been synonymous with "pinstripes", but that, as this report shows, may soon be changing.

The Yankees are now set to unveil new home uniforms, which include plain white uniform pants and a navy blue jersey similar to the ones that they wear now in Spring Training, and perhaps, most importantly, including player names on the jersey backs.

As the source quotes GM Brian Cashman, "the new uniforms, we feel, will bring the Yankees into the 21st century, and we felt that with the unveiling the new Yankee Stadium, the time was right to make the change."

No doubt, fan reaction to this will be sharply divided; it seems a sudden move for a team that's prided itself so long on tradition.

  2. Rebecca, as soon as I started to read I realized it was an April Fool's joke. The Yanks will never loose their pinstripes!

  3. Nice one. Definitely fell for it and it was better than The Yankee Universe's Hanley Ramirez one.
