1962 All-Star Game Fitted: New Era Drops Bold Cubs Tribute in Red and Green

New Era just dropped something truly unique for Cubs collectors with this Red Chicago Cubs Dark Green Bottom 1962 All Star Game 59FIFTY fitted. This bold red and green colorway might seem unconventional for the North Siders, but it’s commemorating one of baseball’s most memorable mid-summer classics. The 1962 All-Star Game was actually split into two games that year, with the second contest taking place at Wrigley Field on July 30th, making this tribute particularly meaningful for Cubs fans who got to host the sport’s biggest stars.

What makes 1962 so fascinating is that it marked the peak of baseball’s brief experiment with playing two All-Star Games per season, a format that lasted from 1959 to 1962. The Wrigley Field game featured legends like Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, and Hank Aaron, with the National League taking a 9-4 victory in front of 38,359 fans on Chicago’s North Side. Cubs icon Ernie Banks represented the home team in the contest, going 1-for-2 with a walk in what would be one of his 14 All-Star Game appearances throughout his Hall of Fame career.

For fitted hat collectors, this piece represents more than just Cubs history, it’s a celebration of Wrigley Field’s role in All-Star Game lore. The unique red and green combination gives this 59FIFTY serious shelf appeal, while the 1962 All Star side patch adds that authentic commemorative touch that makes exclusive_fitted releases so coveted. At $49.99, this tribute to one of baseball’s golden era moments is a must-have for collectors who appreciate both bold colorways and rich baseball history.
