The New York Yankees symbol was created in 1909 and replaced the separated N & Y. The Yankees symbol was designed in 1877 by Louis Tiffany as a medal for the first policeman shot on duty in New York, Officer John McDowell. The New York Yankees symbol looks like a N and Y on top of one another. The legendary Yankees emblem has been in existence for over 100 years.

The New York Yankee symbol is used on everything from New York Yankee Flags, Yankee Clocks, Yankee License Plates, License Plate Frames, Towels, Beer Buckets, and of course, Baseball Hats. The Yankees emblem is a rich part of the New York Yankees history. The Yankees history includes 27 World Championships, not only the most in Major League Baseball, but of all professional sports. The Yankees were established in the early 1900’s and were originally the Baltimore Orioles. Originally owned by the Highlanders the Yankees were the NY Highlanders. The name New York “Yankees”, as history would show, was synonymous with “Americans”. In 1913 the “Highlanders” were forever known as the “Yankees”. New York Yankee merchandise with the infamous New York Yankees symbol continues to be one of the hottest selling teams of all time. In good times and bad the Yanks will top the charts in merchandise sales. For good reason the Yankees History is filled with championships, great players (Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle, Jeter, countless others). We hope you found our brief article on the New York Yankees symbol and emblem interesting and informative. We plan on adding more information on the symbol and emblem.
