NJ actually got sued by the Yankees and the MLB years ago, so they can't use that logo anymore. Source: I'm very good friends with the owners. They switched to the old H Street skateboards logo since then.

That makes sense as to why I can’t find a nice one with the original logo. Thank you for sharing!

Everyone is trying to cover their asses now after that. I saw a sneaker consigment store on in Jersey City that was doing that logo and was super close to what NJ had. I forget their name, but from what I can gather they're asking a similar law suit.

Yeah I remember that and it’s ofc not the original logo anymore but the one I linked is about as close as they’re gonna get. I doubt there’s another NJ company reproducing the old Yankees style logo.

There's a few actually who still do it believe it or not. I'm surprised that the MLB hasn't picked up on it yet,
