Uniform changes are rare for the Yankees, who have one of the oldest and most iconic jersey designs in all of professional sports. However, the team has previously added a patch to their jerseys to honor late figures who were important to the club, such as former team co-chairperson Henry Steinbrenner, who died in 2020.

The Yankees are probably never going to dive into the deep end of the uniform pool, and they probably shouldn’t,” said designer Todd Radom.

New York Yankees players are reportedly pushing for the first alternate jerseys in team history. The Athletic's Brendan Kuty reported Wednesday that players "recently pitched higher-ups" on wearing navy batting practice jerseys featuring a "New York" wordmark in gray across the front during some road games.
