About the New York Yankees palette
The New York Yankees were founded in 1901 and compete in the American League of the Major League Baseball. Their primary colour, Yankees Navy #0C2340, is a very dark, muted indigo.
Major League Baseball carries the longest unbroken visual traditions in North American sport, and several clubs use colours that have barely shifted in a century. That continuity makes the exact value matter: a near-miss on a heritage colour reads as wrong in a way a newer brand would not.
Within the Eastern Division the Yankees face Boston Red Sox. Those are the matchups where two palettes appear in one frame, so they are the pairings most worth checking for a clash.
New York is also home to New York Jets and New York Giants, which means local broadcast and print work often has to carry more than one of these palettes.
