Dallas
Cowboys owner
Jerry Jones and New York Yankees owner George
Steinbrenner announced a joint business
venture called Legends Hospitality
Management LLC on October 20, 2008. The
company would operate the
concessions and merchandising sales at
the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas,
and at the new Yankee Stadium in the
Bronx, New York, along with the
stadiums of the Yankees' minor league
affiliates.
The blue and white pinstriped vendors button-down shirt features; the New
York Yankees interlocking NY logo on
the front, "VENDOR" on the back, and
"Legends Hospitality" on the left
sleeve. The Yankee Stadium vendors were
required to wear a Yankees baseball
cap, and a name tag on their chest. The
vendors also wore price buttons for the
product they were hawking.
From 1903 to 1964 Harry M. Stevens handled the concessions at Yankee
stadium. At least as far back as the
1940's, the Yankee Stadium vendors wore
a white outfit with "Harry M. Stevens"
embroidered on the left collar. The
vendors also wore a pillbox hat with
prices of the product they were
hawking. The vendors of the 1960's into
the 1970's wore
paper brimmed caps that advertised
the prices. Stevens was replaced by
National Concessions service, which
Yankees owners Dan Topping, and Del
Webb had a piece of. National
Concessions were the Yankees
full-service concessionaire until it
closed in 2008, at which time Legends
Hospitality took over.
