Tribute To The New York Black Yankees : 2023

Sunday August 27, 2023 TD Bank Ballpark

The Somerset Patriots (NY Yankees AA-affiliate) will feature a tribute to the New York Black Yankees

The first 1,000 fans in attendance will receive a commemorative baseball card strip featuring Black Yankees: Clarence "Fats" Jenkins, Bill "Speed" Holland and Clint "Hawk" Thomas

Despite playing in uniforms that resembled the New York Yankees, the Black Yankees never had a true brand to call their own. The Patriots have envied a logo designed specifically to honor the Black Yankees' heritage that is unique to the historic team

The logo was designed with interlocking BY to put the emphasis on the Negro League team versus the city of New York or the NY Yankees brand. The logo was designed by Ryan Foose, an award winning designer who has worked for ESPN, MiLB, NCAA and others

The patriots will play in a special themed jersey to honor the Black Yankees, with the new BY logo on the sleeve. The game-soon jerseys will be auctioned off online to benefit the Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum (SSAAM), Skillman NJ
