You may get heckled a bit, especially with the year the Yankees are having so far, but you should be fine.
Just don't make trouble and you shouldn't find any. Most people are nice, just like everywhere else.
Hope that helps!

Only if your will is made out and you can live with your decision and the negative risks involved. I went to high school about 21 year ago with a die-hard Celtics fan. He would call us Laker fan's bluffs by telling us that he would buy any Laker Fan a one-way ticket to Boston, a front row seat at the Boston Garden, a night in a five star hotel. Only catch is that you had to were a Magic Johnson jersey and root against the Celtics.

You might get some verbal harassment, but if you ignore it you'll do fine. Many people wear Yankees hats in this city, you will not be the only one.

I love it when I see this question come up. I promise, we Bostonians aren't as mean as you all seem to think we are!
We'll tease you, and some of us even might be serious, but it's pretty unlikely anyone will attempt to kick your @ss unless you act like a jerk.
However, the easiest (and smartest) thing to do would be to rethink your mistake, and join Red Sox Nation! Why would you want to root for a team like the Spankees when you can root for the greatest team in the sport? Go Red Sox!

I am from NY, but when there is the Red Soxes and Yankees at Fenway I usually don't go anywhere near that. You will probably hear 100 times Yankees suck, because they are poor sports there. At least Red Soxes fans are welcomed in NY!

you better have a fast car or be a good runner i am a sox fan but i am not going to I'll give you advice and what they might do
1) a sox fan might verbally abuse you
2) you might get into a huge fight with a sox fan
3)stay as far away from fenway park as possible
4) you might get in a bar fight
you would be better off not wearing any Yankee's gear for now
you will survive without wearing it
but if you wear Yankee's gear i won't guarantee you will

There is a very strong possibility you will:
a) have rude comments directed towards you by strangers as you are walking down the street
b) get in a verbal altercation with a Sox fan
c) get into a barfight with a Bostonite

The hat maybe but the shirt...well, lets just say I hope you have a good life insurance policy.
You'll get a lot of dirty looks and jeers for wearing it. I hope you have good self confidence.

Stay near the colleges and avoid eye contact. For christ's sake don't go into any working class neighboorhoods

You might get heckled a bit... but why wear the Yankee crap?
