Designs: Yankees Pinstripes

Design indeed is everywhere! Design can mean so many things to different people. They can go from designs of pure enjoyment and beauty such as team logos or company logos to the symbolism in politics and values. However, personally a special design I absolutely enjoy and respect are those of the Pinstripes. As they say The Power of the Pinstripes signifies the greatness and success of the greatest sports franchise of the world, the New York Yankees. Something about it, just the image of the pinstripes really represent and bring forth what the Yankees have been about not only what they meant to New York, but what they meant in history of the nation as well as many significant times. When one thinks of the Pinstripes they immediately can come up with figures such as Derek Jeter or Mariano Rivera, the great teams a decade ago with Tino Martinez, Bernie Williams, Paul O’Neill, Andy Pettitte, David Wells, etc. Pinstripes mean different things also depending on the age of the person paying attention to it as well. Older folk no offense intended, when they see pinstripes, they see guys like Reggie Jackson, Thurman Munson, Ron Guidry, Bucky Dent, Lou Piniella, Willie Randolph, Chris Chambliss, Bobby Murcer, etc. The pinstripes represent the greatness of the team in those different eras that people grew up in. Of course it goes back to Legends such as the Babe, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, and Roger Maris. The pinstripes were indeed important and could have been seen as representing America in WWII as Joe DiMaggio took up role in the military. Pinstripes represent this sense of pride, greatness, love, and loyalty for the team and also the history of the team. Of course this is one perspective, a whole different perception can be seen by say Boston Red Sox fans..
