Baby Bombers Rebranded

Today Reggie Jackson will throw out the ceremonial first pitch of the Yankees home opener, marking the final season of play at Yankee Stadium. Over in Staten Island, the Staten Island Yankees will be marking their tenth season of minor league play this year.

In part to celebrate the occasion (and to sell some new merchandise), the Baby Bombers recently unveiled new uniform designs–the first significant change since the team’s second season in 2000. Most striking is the new patch which will be worn on players’ sleeves and features an oversized SINY logo with five stars representing the five boroughs, with Staten Island as the gold star in the center. The SI Yanks will begin their season on June 17th with a game against the Brooklyn Cyclones.
