Century of Pinstripes Fitted: New Era’s Kelly Green Yankees 100th Anniversary Drop

New Era is celebrating one of baseball’s most storied franchises with this stunning NEW ERA 59FIFTY MLB NEW YORK YANKEES WORLD SERIES 100TH ANNIVERSARY TWO TONE fitted cap in kelly green. This premium release from fam_cap_store commemorates the Yankees’ incredible centennial milestone reached in 2013, marking 100 years since the team officially changed its name from the New York Highlanders to the Yankees on April 10, 1913. The vibrant kelly green colorway offers a fresh take on Yankees tradition, while the special 100TH ANNIVERSARY side patch makes this piece a true collector’s treasure at just $45.

What makes this anniversary even more fascinating is how the Yankees name came to be. The team was originally called the New York Highlanders and only became the ‘Yankees’ because newspapers needed a shorter name to fit in their headlines. Talk about accidental branding genius! The newly christened Yankees didn’t exactly start with a bang either, losing their very first game as the ‘Yankees’ 2-1 to the Senators on April 10, 1913, and didn’t taste victory until five days later against Boston. But what followed was nothing short of legendary, as the Yankees’ 100-year history would accumulate an incredible 27 World Series titles and 40 American League pennants.

This fitted cap represents more than just team history, it captures a century of baseball excellence that spans from Babe Ruth’s called shots to Derek Jeter’s clutch moments to Aaron Judge’s record-breaking 62 home runs in 2022. Available in sizes 6 7/8 through 8, this kelly green tribute piece stands out in any collection as a unique colorway celebrating the most successful franchise in MLB history. For collectors seeking something that honors Yankees tradition while offering a distinctive aesthetic, this anniversary fitted delivers both heritage and style.
