Gone are the days of mild wallpapers and unattractive colors on shared apartment buildings. Where there were neutral grays or mustards, architecture and decor specialists have something else in mind now. Everyone is well aware of the glitz of 1970s bohemian carpets and the rather minimalist trend of the 90s. This knowledge may come from pop culture or maybe from some unfortunate personal experience. But this new decade is all about embracing your geek side.

As more and more people become comfortable with their hobbies, be it sports, books, or anime, fan-based merchandise is becoming popular. It’s not uncommon to see not just band or team t-shirts, but entire rooms decorated with a particular geeky theme. And talking about New York City, the melting pot of cultures, nothing should be surprising at this point.

There is no one quite like the Yankees fans. Talkin’ Yanks on Twitter recently reposted a TikTok video with the caption, “This apartment floor in the Bronx is Yankees themed 🔥” And as one might guess, the walls of the entire floor were covered in the Bronx Bombers’ memorabilia. The person recording the video pans the camera over the whole floor. From the iconic pinstripes and the U.S. flag to popular Yanks, jersey numbers, and World Series wins, the walls cover it all.

They go on to say, “Only in New York City will you see an apartment with a Yankee floor.” And true to form, fans had some fun in the comments section.

The city also has the Mets, and while the Queens-based team receives its fair share of love, the Yankees are embedded in the lore and culture of the Big Apple. While the Pinstripes may have originated in the Bronx, all five boroughs of the city love them.
