Reply to comment by segfaultbanana in Looking for a New Jersey Hat that looks like the Yankees Logo by goldfinch1313

NJ actually got sued by the Yankees and the MLB years ago, so they can't use that logo anymore. Source: I'm very good friends with the owners. They switched to the old H Street skateboards logo since then.

That makes sense as to why I can’t find a nice one with the original logo. Thank you for sharing!

Everyone is trying to cover their asses now after that. I saw a sneaker consigment store on in Jersey City that was doing that logo and was super close to what NJ had. I forget their name, but from what I can gather they're asking a similar law suit.

Yeah I remember that and it’s ofc not the original logo anymore but the one I linked is about as close as they’re gonna get. I doubt there’s another NJ company reproducing the old Yankees style logo.

There's a few actually who still do it believe it or not. I'm surprised that the MLB hasn't picked up on it yet,
