150 Years Strong Fitted: New Era Drops Cubs Anniversary Celebration Hat

Hat Club just dropped something special for Cubs faithful with the New Era 59FIFTY Chicago Cubs 150th Anniversary Patch Game Hat in Royal. This isn’t just another team colorway, it’s a celebration of one and a half centuries of Cubs baseball, complete with a commemorative side patch that honors the franchise’s incredible journey from their early days as the ‘White Stockings’ to their historic 2016 World Series triumph. At $53, this fitted captures the essence of a team that’s given us some of baseball’s most unforgettable moments and longest-standing records.

Speaking of records, did you know the Cubs hold the MLB record for most wins in a season with an incredible 116 victories back in 1906, plus the best winning percentage in baseball history at 76%? The team actually got its beloved ‘Cubs’ nickname in 1902 from the Chicago Daily News because they had so many young players, officially adopting it in 1907. And here’s a wild one: Carlos Zambrano’s 2008 no-hitter against the Houston Astros happened in Milwaukee because Hurricane Ike forced the game to be relocated, making it one of the most unique no-hitters in Cubs franchise history.

For collectors, this 150th anniversary piece represents more than just team pride, it’s a wearable piece of baseball history that spans from the dead-ball era through the curse years to the championship glory. Available in sizes 7 through 8, this royal blue fitted connects you to legends like Javier Baez, who made MLB history as the only player to start at second base and shortstop in consecutive All-Star Games, and Anthony Rizzo’s clutch performances during that magical 2016 run that ended 108 years of heartbreak.
