Who owns the New York Yankees logo?

Answer 1

The New York Yankees organization owns the right to the most famous sports logo in the world.

Artist Lon Keller provided artwork for a number of pro sports teams and events including the New York Yankees but he is most recognized for designing the New York Yankee's emblem, first appearing in 1947.

The original concept by Lon Keller was used on the 1946 Spring training Itinerary. It featured the Yankees in script, and a top hat above. Larry MacPhail co-owner of the New York Yankees not completely satisfied then asked Lon Keller to refine the logo. Lon sat down and put a Baseball around the Yankees, made the "K" into a bat, and put the top hat on top.
