 Hi i'm looking for the baseball team font, like on the classic satin jacket, with a tail underlining the whole word from the last letter. we usually see it on Yankees, on the baseball official shirt too.
Thank you

Buckle-up hungrydave!!
I have been staring at this post for quite a while now and must admit I am flabbergasted.
On this forum and others I have seen many posts phrased as 'new york yankees font', 'harley davidson font' and so on. Everyone with more than 0.2% of the average gray matter knows that there are no such fonts but just fonts used to cerate a new york yankees /harley davidson logo/website/... As there is no 'dumbo font' to describe the corporate housestyle typeface of the White House - or Tony Blair for that matter.
So we decrypt and respond.
But this time it goes beyond ignorance or lack of historical understanding or education. This one is plain stupid. Suddenly, apparently there are 'bhudist', 'catholic', liberal, 'conservative' and 'communist' fonts. Fonts, rather typefaces, stupid, are a reflection of time. Not of an ideology. In the part of the world where latin script - which includes cyrilic (not relevant in this case) - is used fashion and the style of a specific period it time determines the type being used. So the Prague street signs, as well as the Paris and Amsterdam, are reflections of the time that they were designed, The 1920's.
Any idea, historical wonder, when communism came to Check?
Satisfied? OK.

I'd say, buying fonts is fun. I've recently bought a good set of fonts I needed – not really, I'm just a fontaholic and desperate for that retro feeling so I try to sell that kind of atmosphere to my clients – from a foundry which I shall not name in honour to the Italian law against free advertising.
Not just downloaded them all in a second but even received a cd for every set with a LOVELY design on each cover, based on the theme, the very atmosphere in which the designer(s) found the inspiration to draw them. Just great.
Still, if you're an amateur or a freelance in his/her early years of work it can be frustrating to look at the shiny windows of the fontshops and stick to the free fonts - although some of them are really great.
See, I'm a graphic designer and I worked ten years in daily newspapers and publishing houses. Since 2005 I work on my own, caring my clients and looking for new ones. I've recently bought a new, large house in the countryside – I should move there by early December – and haven't got so much money at the moment.
I definitely stare, drooling, at the great, great set – oh, fuck the Italian law, we Italians are all outlaws, aren't we? – named «Luxury» from House Industries and – good Lord – I have to wait because 250$ is approximately the price for a cheap wardrobe (closet for the yankees, says my dictionary) I truly need. As I have to wait to buy a car larger than the one I own to drive me along the 60 kilometres that will hide me and my dogs from the large mass of people I'm fleeing from and nontheless I still work with. And none of us would steal a car, right?
