New Era New York Yankees x Jay-Z "Blueprint 3" Limited 59Fifty

Once Jay showed up at last year's Yankees Victory Parade performing Empire State, you knew it was a wrap! Business minded Jay-Z is back with a limited-edition, New Era Yankees "Blueprint 3" 59Fifty collaboration. These caps are limited and part of the Jay-Z/Eminem concerts being held at Yankee Stadium, September 13th & 14th. Detroit gets the first two of four, grand performances tonight at Comerica Park before it heads to The Bronx! The 'all black' cap is made with a wool blend and features the Blueprint 3-Stripe logo on the right panel and All Black Everything logo above the MLB logo on the back. Right now, the word is these will be sold exclusively at both concerts in Yankees Stadium but I'm sure some retailers, including New Era, will stock a small stash for the hungry. Sport tees, produced by Majestic will be at hand.
