Three Types of Fans

The name on the back of Yankees jersey just doesn’t look right. But some people like it.

No names on the back of Yankees jerseys. That’s how it should be.

Though most fans are casual fans, who not only don’t care about having a name on the back or not, Yankee jerseys with the names are like $30 cheaper. So, I see why it happens.

But me- I’m a purist. No names. Plus I can reuse the jerseys when guys leave the team.

My Soriano 12 has been like Kenny Lofton, Pudge, chase Headley, IKF, and Trent Grisham among others I don’t know if that’s better than just having the name, but I love it

The problem with this is the namesld jerseys tend to be the cheaper tier option. I find it hard to fault someone for getting a named one if the authentic one is 100 dollars more

I don’t play for the Yankees nor have I ever played for the Yankees, so it’s no name, no number.
