actrually they had SEVERAL focus GroupS, i.e. plural......
But I agree., this does not constitute a "poll"
Really, they were at the bottom of the league in sales, so they didn't need much of a fan poll to tell them that whatever they put out there would sell better than what they had. The fans had already voted in the only poll that matters....the stuff wasn't selling.
Don't get me wrong here, i prefer the new colors...but i am not sure if there was much of a financial motivation here. As i understood it, MLB merchandise profits are shared...so AZ gets a cut of every yankee hat sold...(my source is not official, so i could be wrong here)
I guess they were aiming at the trickle down effect. More popular stuff, more popular team, more tickets sold...
I think you are wrong here. It is the NFL that shares profits. This is why the Yankees can afford what they do and others cant.
NFL shares all profits, MLB does have limited revenue sharing et al the luxury tax. I'm talking strictly Merchandise revenue sharing, not tv, radio, attendance, advertising etc.
