Have the Dodgers surpassed the Yankees in popularity?

[MenacingMonk]

The real question is, how close is it really between the Dodgers and Lakers for who runs LA?

Both teams run the city. They’ve been here the longest. There is no “this team only runs it” mentality over here.

 

[DonB90]

In the DR they pronounce Yankees as Chankees and that always makes me laugh

See more dodgers hats these days.

Now yall saying anything.

It’s true. That’s what prompted the thread.

@tremonthustler1 Red Sox bandwagon was mainly white girls. I see Dodgers gear everywhere now.

 

[concise]

Last few years, I’ve been seeing more Dodgers gear than Yankees. It feels like there’s been a slow shift and Sho has put them over the top. Yankees everything from the ballpark to the players feels stale.

lol, 33 percent of NYC watching the game is still way more people than 53 percent of LA doing the same thing.

What kind of retarded numbers talk is this?

Red sox fans were never as national as dodgers fans are. Not even close.

Breh, in the first two decades of this century, « Red Sox Nation » was the biggest bandwagon in baseball and was one of the biggest bandwagons in sports. At its peak, back in the mid-late 2000s/early 2010s, you saw Pink hat Beckies and obnoxious cac bros with Red Sox fitted hats everywhere.

Out of all of the Boston sports, I'd say nationally, the Red Sox are the most national. Definitely more than the Dodgers.

I would say it would be the Yankees, Red Sox, and Cubs.

The pink hats..


Edit: The Red Sox ownership and management has been terrible in recent years. The Dodgers have that mojo right now, but from the early 2000's until 2018, the Red Sox had that aura.

 

[the next guy]

I was gonna say until Big Papi retired the Red Sox was the second largest fanbase. That was also the very last time baseball was national like that.


Let's hope these dodgers can restore the feeling.

 

[Dipsey Doo]

Dodgers are incredibly popular, but they don’t capture your imagination and attention like the 90s-00s Yankees did.

 

[the next guy]

Now yall saying anything.

Am I lying? Dodgers caps are number one. Yankees are are number two. Some people rock the Mets, Red Sox, and Cubs, and you even see a Phillies hat once in a while. Sometimes the SF Giants. Back in the day, the Athletics were popular.


But it's the Dodgers

Washington Nationals gear was first popular when they went to DC. You never Cardinals stuff that much anywhere.

I never thought I'd see the day when the Red Sox weren't #1 in Boston, but when ownership gives off the vibe that Liverpool is more important to them than the team that built their empire, that's tough to take.

And you see Blue Jays hats all over Canada since 2012, the year that the jays rebranded their look and went back to their classic World Series era logo/color scheme/uniforms. It was a excellent and successful decision because the logos, color schemes and uniforms that the jays used between 1997 and 2011 were ugly as fukk. The early 2000s was a bad time for Toronto baseball. Jays couldn’t spend like big markets until Rogers bought the team, they were irrevelant inside their city and outside of their city, they were stuck in the AL East, the toughest division of north American major league sports, free agents didn’t come here, they missed the playoffs every year, etc

Then you see Vintage blue powder Expos hats/90s era expos hats here and there

Dodgers are incredibly popular, but they don’t capture your imagination and attention like the 90s-00s Yankees did.

That’s because The 1996-2009 Yankees were synonymous with the glamour, greed, opulence, excesses, excitement, swagger and cultural dominance of baseball. Heck, to most people, baseball fans and non baseball fans alike, the Yankees were big market baseball. They were literally called the « Evil Empire ».

Back then, when people thought about the best and the worst of baseball, the Yankees came to their mind.

Celtics,patriots and even the bruins lapped the Red Sox when it comes to popularity in Boston. How the mighty have fallen.

I hardly see anyone here in DC wear Dodgers gear and it's a transient city. I'll see Cubs gear more than Dodgers. There's a whole bunch of Red Sox and Yankees hat being worn. And a whole lot of Cowboys gear
