Yankees and Jay-Z team up to make more money !

Yankees, Jay-Z team up on co-branded merchandise - MLB - Yahoo! Sports: "Get your New York Yankees hats here—with a Jay-Z logo.
The hip-hop mogul is teaming up with his favorite baseball squad on co-branded clothes that will be sold exclusively at Yankee Stadium beginning next week. All the items, from baseball caps to T-shirts and hooded sweat shirts, will feature Yankees and Jay-Z logos.
In a news release Thursday, the Yankees said the attire was created to commemorate the first official concerts at the new Yankee Stadium on Sept. 13 and 14, when Jay-Z and Eminem will co-headline.
The shows mark the second half of their “Home and Home” tour, following joint performances at Detroit’s Comerica Park on Sept. 3 and Sept. 4.
The new merchandise will be available at Yankee Stadium from Aug. 30 to Sept. 14."





Should be an interesting concept, I mean on one hand you have the most famous team in sports and on the other you have arguably the most famous rapper of this generation. Either way the Yanks and Jay will be making a nice deal of cash from the clothing. Ill admit I would be interested in checking out the clothing ,since Jay already has his own brand Rocawear and I am always up for more Yankees clothing. But I doubt I will buy any of this over priced merchandise unless it is sold at Modells for a cheaper price then at the stadium or their is a shirt/hat that blows me away. The concert is sold out and still one of the hottest tickets in New York, should be good.
