Ever the leader in the anti-alternate or throwback jersey army, the New York Yankees yesterday unveiled their 1912 throwback jersey and cap which they will wear this Friday, April the 20th in Boston to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the first game played at Fenway Park.
The Yankees and Red Sox opened the stadium on April 20, 1912 and both teams will be wearing uniforms based on the ones worn in that inaugural game.
While the Red Sox are no stranger to wearing throwback jerseys, having done so several times in the past few seasons, by my recollection the New York Yankees have only done this once before back on June 8, 1996 when they donned the uniforms of the Negro League’s New York Black Yankees for a game at Tiger Stadium.
The Boston Red Sox have yet to post a photo of the uniforms they will be wearing but they will be based off of the 1912 design, which you can see below courtesy Dressed to the Nines:
