Which team's uniforms produce the lousiest patch cards?

I mainly collect Cubs, and their uniforms don't usually produce very good patch swatches. Usually one or two color, straight edge pieces. There's not much ornamentation to their unis. Occassionally a part of the Cubbie bear, but that's about it. I see great patch swatches from Atlanta, Arizona, Oakland, etc. Which team's uniform(s) do you think consistently produce the blandest patch cards?

Yankees. Unless it is from a commemorative patch. Which then makes it look fake.

The New York Yankees.

Patches are always black and white, occasionally gray if it is a road jersey. No color, no letterman patches due to lack of names.

in Football, the Colts Jerseys are terrible for patches. :( Baseball, definitely have to with Yankees.

I'm a Yankee fan and I have to agree, their patches are terrible. You may be lucky to get one with a pinstripe, but still, two color and drab ones at that.

Pirates... Black and yellow only unless you get the pirate logo patch. Although same could be said for NYY gang. Actually, most are pretty boring without the team logo patch. Nothing like hockey

Dodgers unless like others have said there is a commemorative patch used.
That's exactly what I was thinking. I love my '05 Absolute Memorabilia and Prime Patches Shawn Green collections, but compared to players from other teams they are SO boring.

Yankees, unless you get a logo sleeve patch from an ASG warm up.

Your collection of patches still amazes me! Has to be one of the best collections out there!

Dodgers unless like others have said there is a commemorative patch used.

I am going to have to agree and say that the Dodgers have the plainest patches unless you get part of the jersey lettering. Their jerseys only have one color patches. Yankees come in at 2nd on my list because they are very plain, but still can be nice.

Have to agree there. We Dodger collectors get excited when we can find a piece of red with the blue and that is about it.

Before seeing who posted this thread and reading the first post, my initial thought was the Cubs because of how plain the jerseys are. And you could say the same thing about the Yankees.

Ok - on the flip side, whose uniforms do you think produce the BEST patch cards. I originally mentioned Atlanta, Arizona, and Oakland, and I'd add St. Louis.

Mariners. I like the teal and navy with glittery silver.

I see everyone saying the Yankees but I think one issue with Yankees patches is they are so hard to find. Almost every Yankees "patch" will use pinstripes instead of a cool piece of the NY or of the Number.

I think Yankees patches look better than a majority of the other teams if you can find an awesome patch with multiple breaks etc. The classy Yankees color's are very attractive to me.

Despite the lack of multi-color patches on a Yankee regular season jersey, I still pegged this as the card I wanted most out of 2013 A&G when I saw the set's preliminary checklist. I was beside myself with the way the seller literally squeezed it in a USPS box with no protection at all, but thankfully there was no major damage to it.
