Steinbrenner/Sheppard Patches

[zooat2]

- The jerseys w/ these patches should be must for Yankee collectors!...I'm sure Steiner is salivating waiting for these to hit the market...see below.

I may be the only one, but these look tacky to me.

Aesthetically, I really like the Sheppard patch.

Agree 100%.. Looks great! The GSM patch, eh... kinda plain looking and blah font.. But oh wells. We'll see what they look like on a jersey soon enough

It may change, but, for the All-Star Game, the Yankees DID wear black armbands, in lieu of the patches.

Re: Steinbrenner/Sheppard Patches

Based on the quality of the two patches, you'd have to assume they've had the Sheppard one made up and ready to go for a while now and that the Steinbrenner one was done up on the fly...given how bad George III's health has been over the last couple of years, though, I'm surprised they didn't have something better than this in the can.

Re: Steinbrenner/Sheppard Patches

these will be historic collectors items the likes of which will not be seen again for a long time. fortuntely two people so intimately connected with a franchise and beloved by millions of fans for many decades seldom pass on during the same season and since 1/2 the season is gone there will be very few jerseys that have such.

Re: Steinbrenner/Sheppard Patches

The Sheppard patch looks great, I wish the Tigers would have made up something like this for Harwell, but the "EH" patch is still a great honor.

Re: Steinbrenner/Sheppard Patches

The Yankees announced today on their website that not only would the two patches be worn on Yankees uniforms beginning Friday, but that all Yankees minor league affiliates will also wear them.
