New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge has made a career out of crushing homers. But he may have a second career waiting in the fashion industry, as the slugger’s eye for fresh threads is what led the Bronx Bombers to change their road uniforms this season.
According to AP reporter Ronald Blum, Judge got the idea after sporting a retro uniform for the Field of Dreams game in 2021. The outfielder then suggested incorporating the classic look — which eliminates white outlines around the lettering, and piping around the sleeves — into the Yankees’ wardrobe.
“I really just asked: ‘Could we wear it as an alternate? I like the look of it, the feel of it,’” Judge told Blum. “I didn’t expect for it to be our away jerseys.”
