Story summary

On April 22, 2026, New York Yankees players asked owner Hal Steinbrenner to permit alternate road jerseys.
They want navy batting-practice tops with “New York” lettering and a Starr Insurance patch, which MLB has not approved for regular-season games.
If approved, the change would be the biggest uniform shift since the Yankees’ Players Weekend appearance, despite the team’s current use of only pinstripes at home and gray road uniforms.
