Love the idea. Also the fact it's the 1st time for Yankees to have Nameplates is kinda big.

I like that the sleeve plastic iron-on decal has a blank area for the player to write in the name of a coach or mentor that he admires.

Despite the tie-in with Little League baseball, the cynic in me can't help but think of all this as another MLB marketing cash grab, just like all the other "special" caps, jerseys, and patches that now flood the MLB Shop.

lame. marketing gimmick. I can't help but wonder if marketers had more a part in decisions than the players -- i.e. the players probably thought of what they wanted the nameplate to read and marketers evaluated it on merchandise sales potential and worked with the player on something hipper if the player-contributed phrase was stupid.

If the sleeve decal thing is true, I think that's likely to be the most organic thing a player contributed to the jersey design.

Who cares if it’s an overall marketing strategy?

It’s somethjng different and fun.

Don’t like it, don’t buy the merch.

I personally like this more than Jackie Robinson Day.

I hate seeing every player wear the same number with no name on the back of their jerseys.

I don't recall saying I thought it was a good idea. I recall saying it's a good idea for the *Mets* to do it.. RIF.

Still hate the jersey idea because I feel marketers have more of a hand in it than the players.

Love the idea, be cool to see names on the back of yankee uniforms. Dont think its ever happened before.

It seems like you suppport dictatorships.

I’m 100% confident you’re a Trump supporter, based on your comments in this thread.

Lighten up, have some fun.
