The Yankees are the first team that never had the names on the back of their jersey.

They have never put names on the jersey (a baseball trend which only started in the 60s). Some say that it is enough that the player is a Yankee and that is all anyone needs to know.

Even if it wasn't about the team...
the Yankees aren't smart enough to spell their own names.

They spend ALL thier money on buying players---there is none left over for letters on uniforms.
Also, players come and go so quickly with ny---they would have to re-sew all the uniforms.
