Yankees 1996 uni?


abc006

Recommended Posts

Could anyone make a c. 1996 (1996-2000) Yankees uni? How is it different from the 2006? The socks have the little stripe down the middle, hardly anyone has long pants, and there's a little stripe (need that stripe!!!) on i believe the right short sleeve. By the way, I know why the Yankees haven't won the world series since 2000: they took away the stripe!pMLB2-1912425th.gif

It would be nice to see those jerseys in the game. FYI - Black stripe was in remembrance of Mel Allen who died that year. He was a long time Yankees announcer. More famous maybe for his slogan"How about that?!" Familiar to all who watched TWIB every week like I did. They wore the same stripe in 1995 for Mantle and 1999 for DiMaggio. Those years had added numbers 7 and 5 for those players. Should be an easy mod. Would do it if I knew how.

FYI - I know who Mel Allen is, and i still watch twib every week. Anyway, I like the stripe, so I'll be looking for someone to do it.

I was at the game that honored Mel Allen's passing... How Bout That?

Yeah, can someone still do this mod?

err, why not? do you know cory lidle? he died tragically in a plane crash. The stripe symbolizes mouring, such as a black arm band worn to funerals.

I'd personally be very surprised if they did not have the stripe.

No offense to Lidle, but the stripe is for Yankee greats. Do the Yankees wear a stripe for a season every time someone who was once a member for the Yankee organization dies? Lidle wasn't even on the Yankees for the entire season.

I don't think they'll wear the stripe for Lidle, to me it would be almost disrespectful to Mantle, DiMaggio & Mel Allen to do so.

I think they'll have his number of the back of their caps or something like that.

I don't think they'd do the number... initials probably. Let us remember that Willie Randolph donned the number 30 in his tenure with the Yankees.

I dont remember the Yankees doning the stripe for Jim "Catfish" Hunter, and he was 100X more of a Yankee then Lidle and a Hall of Famer, so I dont think we see the stripe for Lidle, and we shouldnt.

I just wanna see the 1996 uni with the stripe, not in honor of Cory Lidle, but for good old memories of the dynasty.
same for me - that's really why i like it, not necessarily for lidle, although i do think he deserves some sort of commemorative.. thing on the uniform.
