www.dotcomhunter.com Looking back at the New York Yankees This popular All-American baseball team was actually known as the Hi ghlanders during its humble beginnings, but apparently the nickname Highlanders couldn't really catch on fast with the local sportswrite rs which is why they often used the monicker Yankees or Yanks (the n ickname Yankees were actually coined from the fact that the New York Yankees were an All-American team while American locals are actual ly referred to as Yanks mostly by the British), since people obvious ly liked this nickname more, they decided to change their name in to the New York Yankees and they didn't change it ever since. The New York Yankees official logo was actually written in script form using the color red with a complementing red bat serving as the backgroun d of the k while it hangs down. The two other letters in the logo ar e actually just a k and an s which helps form a complete circle and actually give the logo the look of a baseball with matching baseball stitching. As a finishing touch, the logo is topped with Uncle Sam' s hat that conveniently rests on the top of the bat. The most famous insignia in sports is actually the interlocking NY which actually made its first appearance on the New York Yankees' ( known then as the Highlanders) sleeves and caps way back in the ye ar 1909. As the interlocking NY insignia gained more and more popul arity, the New York Yankees decided to incorporate it at the front part of their uniforms while having matching navy blue baseball cap s. The immensely popular interlocking NY insignia was actually desi gned way back in 1877 by a fellow named Louis B. Tiffany who origin ally designed the popular insignia for a NYPD officer named John Mc Dowell who was highly regarded at that time for his bravery and ded ication to his work. Mr. McDowell was actually the first New York p olice officer who was shot during the time of duty.
