NY Yankees x VT Hokies New Era Fitted Cap

The NY Yankees showed support for the VT community by wearing their navy caps embroidered with VT logos on the side for some 2007 April games & exhibit games this year. The Hokies return the favor by playing in NY fitteds made in VT colors. Utilizing one of my favorite color schemes (garnet, orange, & white), New Era has restocked on these fitted gems throughout their flagship stores. Made with New Era's performance fabric, this cap has their standard features of raised embroidery, black undervisor / sweatband, & MLB logo man.

Mickey's Place in Cooperstown, NY

I recently had the opportunity to visit the National Baseball Hall Of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. One of the country's best-known sports shrines is located on Main St., in the heart of Cooperstown. Right down the street is Mickey's Place, a memorabilia shop with tons of authentic fitted caps. The selection is massive, carrying everything from current teams, minors, & of course classic Cooperstown wool fitteds. Loaded mostly with New Era, they also stock American Needle & Twins Enterprise. Check their site here for complete product listings.
