I doubt it.<br />Louis Comfort Tiffany was the company's first Director of Design, and his personal works show a style which is quite evident in this medal. He may not be the lone designer, but it was created under his direct supervision and released only with his personal acquiescence. <br />Tiffany's always have been, and are still very possessive of their trademarks (even the wavelength of their famous shade of blue is copyrighted). <br />Now, you'll notice that on the Yankee logo, a tiny TM is next to a logo with convex, if not straight lines at all end points - not all concave as in the Tiffany design.

He was indicted for bribery and corruption BEFORE he headed up the police department. The Yankees were founded through the spoils of Tammany Hall corruption and graft. It is hilariously ironic, though not surprising, that Devery used Tiffany's NYPD Medal of Honor design for the Yankee's logo as a tribute to himself and his ties to the NYPD.camobmushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14876916888915315584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6055358841733153770.post-21137485136479171332011-06-10T11:52:29.236-04:002011-06-10T11:52:29.236-04:00Strong research and good article.
