Who designed the iconic New York Yankees logo? 

There are no sports logos more famous than that of the New York Yankees. Iconic, eye-catching, simple, memorable and versatile across all marketing platforms, the interlocking N and Y have become one of the rare sporting logos to transcend sport, becoming a staple in the fashion world.

Louis Tiffany created the stylized interlocking logo—NY in 1909. According to a popular legend, the Yankees' interlocking NY took inspiration from a visual emblem created in 1877 to honor John McDowell, the first New York police personnel to be shot while on duty.

"The enduring NY Yankee symbol as we know, it was inspired by a medal of honor created by Louis Tiffany of Tiffany & Co. in 1877 and presented to John McDowell, a New York City police officer shot in the line of duty. (New Kent H.S. 1982)" - T.J. Brown

Louis Tiffany was the first design director at his family's iconic company, Tiffany & Co. He is the American artist most associated with the Art Nouveau and Aesthetic movements, as well as his work with stained glass.

Since its humble beginnings in a New York suburb, the Yankees logo is now recognizable worldwide, even by people who have never watched a game of baseball in their lives. From Gucci jackets to sweatpants to the Yankee cap turned into a fashion staple. Stars such as Jay-Z have worn merchandise bearing the logo. The NY logo is unquestionably the most famous sporting logo in history.

Have we seen the end of Aaron Judge in the iconic New York Yankees pinstripes?

In 2022, Aaron Judge set the new all-time single-season record for home runs by hitting 62 long balls. The 6-foot-7 right fielder for the New York Yankees had one of the best offensive seasons in franchise history, surpassing former MVP Roger Maris in the process to set the new home run record for the franchise, as well as the American League.

While MLB awaits the end of the Aaron Judge free agency saga, there are only two major suitors for the reigning AL MVP, the Yankees, and Judge's hometown San Francisco Giants. While the destination remains a blur, the only thing that is certain is that Judge will never have to worry about money again in his life.
