The flag logo will be placed on the left side of the 59FIFTY®, which is actually worn by all players at the games. What do baseball lovers think of this great step forward? In this column, we will report their testimonies over a four-week period. In this final installment, we will introduce a selection of recommended items from among the 72 official player's caps available in Japan for a total of 30 teams.
This is the final installment of "Authentic Baseball Cap by New Era®," which has been published every week since the beginning of March. As Mr. Shimono of With Limited, stylist Ms. Takezaki, and editor Ms. Sonehara each told us, the fact that New Era's flag logo is now on the official baseball caps worn by MLB players is a truly innovative development.
59FIFTY® each ¥5,500+TAX (only 2 alternate Pittsburgh Pirates models, style is Pillbox)
MLB is the world's largest professional baseball league, consisting of 29 American teams and one Canadian team, for a total of 30 teams. There are 72 official caps for players, including home and away caps, available in Japan alone. It would be great if you could choose your favorite one among them and make it fit your own style.
If you don't know much about MLB, why not choose your favorite from the three teams that Mr. Shimono, Mr. Takezaki, and Mr. Sonehara wore? The New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, and Cleveland Indians caps are the most attractive of the entire lineup because of their basic designs.
The Cleveland Indians are a baseball team that is familiar to the Japanese.
The movie "Major League Baseball" is probably the reason why MLB has become so familiar to Japanese people. The first movie was released in 1989, and the second one became a hot topic because Takaaki Ishibashi, a.k.a. Taka-san of Tonneruzu, appeared in it.
As the name of the team suggests, the Indian logo is the trademark of this team. The comical touch of the logo is somehow not too hateful. From a fashion point of view, the navy and red coloring is a good color combination. The red on the logo and visor adds an accent to the coordinated look.
The relationship between hip-hop and New Era.
New Era" has been a favorite of hip-hop and other black music artists. When watching videos related to hip-hop on YouTube, many "New Era" caps with MLB team logos appear.
If we were to introduce official MLB player caps through the filter of hip-hop, HOUYHNHNM's would recommend these two teams. One is the Los Angeles Dodgers , and the other is the Detroit Tigers .
The simple logo consisting of the letters "LA" is that of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Los Angeles is a city where many hip-hop artists have grown up. In the movie "Straight Outta Compton," about N.W.A., the pioneer of West Coast rap, Corey Hawkins, who plays Dr. Dre, was wearing a cap of this team. The Dodgers cap has always been a hip-hop icon.
One of the most famous hip-hop artists from Detroit is J Dilla. Although he passed away at the young age of 32 due to illness, he continued to make music even in his sickbed, and his music continues to influence the scene even today. The cover of his posthumous album "Donuts" features a photo of himself wearing a Detroit Tigers cap with an impressive "D" logo.
The lineup also includes uniquely designed caps!
The ones we have introduced so far are all basic designs that are easy to match with any style. . However, there are also baseball teams that wear caps with unique designs. If you want to stand out from the crowd, you may want to select one of the following items.
The first team we would like to highlight is the Pittsburgh Pirates. . The "P" logo laid out in three-dimensional embroidery on the black body is a cool design. Of course, 59FIFTY® caps are also available, but there is also a cap with a unique tubular structure called a "Pillbox. The one on the right in the photo is exactly that, and is unique among the 72 variations available. This is a revival of the style that was once used by the Pirates as the official cap for their players. The somewhat old-fashioned silhouette looks fresh when seen today.
. these two are for the Boston Red Sox and Milwaukee Brewers. Both have cute and cute graphics with a somewhat pop touch. The Red Sox model has a straightforward logo depicting a red sock, which gives it a sense of grace. The Brewers' model, on the other hand, has a unique logo that represents a baseball glove with the initials "m" and "b". If the main design for home and game wear is straight, this one is a change of pace. . It is not a bad idea to change your mood by wearing a slightly different kind of cap once in a while.
