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.
