<P> In 2009, to commemorate the inaugural season at Yankee Stadium, the Yankees had an inaugural season patch on the left sleeve of the jersey . </P> <P> Beginning in the 2010 season, the MLB logo, on the back collar of their jerseys, has gray behind the bat of the MLB logo, instead of the usual red, which was on the jersey since 2000, when all of the MLB teams started wearing the MLB logo on the back collar . Upon the deaths of owner George Steinbrenner and P.A. announcer Bob Sheppard, the Yankees sported two patches from July 16 until the end of the season; the left breast patch in memory of Steinbrenner, and a left shoulder patch in memory of Sheppard . The Yankees also added a black armband in memory of Ralph Houk upon his death on July 21 . </P> <P> Although the Yankees have worn the same road uniform since 1918 (with the exception of 1927 to 1930, when the arched "NEW YORK" was replaced by the word "YANKEES"), a radical change was proposed in 1974 . Marty Appel, in his book Now Pitching for the Yankees, describes the proposed uniforms: </P> <Table> <Tr> <Td> "</Td> <Td> In 1974 I walked into (then - General Manager) Gabe Paul's office to find samples of new Yankee road uniforms draped across his sofa . They were the opposite of the home pinstripes--they were navy blue with white pinstripes . The NY logo was in white . Gabe liked them . I nearly fainted . Although the drab gray road uniforms were not exciting, with the plain NEW YORK across the chest, they were just as much the Yankees' look as were the home uniforms . I think my dramatic disdain helped saved (sic) the day and saved the Yankees from wearing those awful pajamas on the field . </Td> <Td>" </Td> </Tr> </Table>
