Story

Aaron Judge, the old-school New York Yankee, requested to wear a road uniform as an alternate, which surprised him when it became their away jerseys. The iconic "New York" first appeared on road jerseys in 1911, with pinstripes added in 1916. The current design has been in place since 1919, except for a brief period in the late 1920s. The new throwback jerseys, inspired by the old-style look, debuted this season and have been well-received by players and fans alike. Judge, along with Giancarlo Stanton, has been instrumental in the Yankees' recent success, with Judge hitting his 25th home run of the season in a game against the Kansas City Royals. Despite some struggles earlier in the season, Judge has been on a hot streak, raising his average and contributing significantly to the team's performance. The Yankees' strong play has been evident in their 11 wins in the last 14 games. Additionally, the team has dealt with injuries, with outfielder Aaron Judge expressing frustration over recent fan behavior.
