 Up until 2019 the team had never issued #0, and still hasn't issued #00.When other teams began putting names on the backs of jerseys in the 1960s, the Yankees did not follow suit.Many companies have created replica Yankee jerseys and other apparel with the player name above the number on the back for fans to purchase; but the only official Yankee uniforms that have ever had names on the back are special uniforms used during MLB's Players Weekend, an annual event first held on August 25–27, 2017.
