Why do some baseball teams have names on their jerseys while other teams do not?

It tends to be a matter of home team etiquette overcoming blatant commercial advertising of a player's name. Teams like the Red Sox and Dodgers and Yankees (the Red Sox are the only one I can name for sure) don't put the names of the players on the home jerseys, probably because the hometown faithful are expected to know who they are. On the road jerseys, however, their names are listed, as is the case with any teams that have blank home jerseys that I know of. **** Correction. The Yankees do not have their names on their home jerseys OR their away jerseys.

∙ 17y agoIt is up to the team. Some teams wear their names on their away uniforms but not on their home uniforms. The idea is that home fans and announcers should be able to recognize the players by their numbers, faces, and positions, whereas folks in other cities may need a little more help.

No. It may have seemed like that after this season, but it was because Reebok came out with new jerseys call RBK EDGE, so i guess since the teams were all getting new jerseys they figured they would change their logo.
