The New York Yankees are the biggest name in baseball history. The standards set by them are matched by very few teams around the world. They are the most successful sports team in North America. Over the years though they have been on the decline and this season has so far proven to be disastrous. On Wednesday, they announced a partnership with Starr Insurance.
As per this deal, the logo of Starr Insurance will be featured on the player jerseys. This move though has not been well received by their fanbase. The two organizations have had a successful relationship since 2018 and it was once again proved with this partnership. However, the Yankees were subjected to heavy trolls by their fanbase for wasting time in this instead of focusing on the players.
The NY Yankees have been known throughout the country as a traditional club. They have set certain rules for their players and staff to follow. One of the rule was to not include the names on the back of their classic white and black stripes uniform. The team has adapted an appearance policy to look more “neat” and professional and does not allow the players to have special haircuts and beards.
Twitter reacts as NY Yankees unveils new sponsor
The reason why the fans are angry and upset has been the Yankees’ performance this season. The team has been inconsistent throughout the first half of the season. They are currently 49-42, eight games behind the top. To make matters worse there is no timeline yet on the return of Aaron Judge. It is highly likely that the team from NY will miss the playoffs if he does not return soon.
On top of these things, the other issue has been their batting. Their batting coach Dillion Lawson was fired recently. All these struggles have put the club in a place they would have loved to avoid. The timing of this partnership dampens the relationship with the fans more. Take a look at some of the angry reactions from Twitter.
The Yankees are definitely gonna feel the wrath of fans. This will mark the first time in their 120-year history, that they will be represented by a sponsor on their iconic jerseys. They are reported to debut this new look jerseys from July 21 when they face the Kansas City Royals. If they can turn their season around, maybe they will be forgiven by their faithful fans.
