08/30: Yankee Logo on a New Era Cap? 2,688 Stitches
Posted by: Patrick
Ken Belson at the Times has an interesting feature on New Era. A couple of neat factoids:
The Yankees have been the top selling cap for each of the past 7 seasons. Not only that, but it's not close - they're beating others by a 3 to 1 margin. The Dogers have been second in 5 of those 7 years and the Red Sox have filled that slot twice.
The Yankees logo requires 2,688 stitches. This is the 4th least of all teams, with the Pirates leading the way at 1,881 - 500 less than any other team. The most stitches? The Marlins at 10,966. That's 1,673 stitches more than the closest competition (Blue Jays).
At some point, you wonder if they say "man, these Marlins caps. 10,966 stitches?! We're never going to be able to make a profit on this!"
