2016 World Series Fitted: New Era’s Cubs Championship Hat Honors Historic Drought-Ending Victory

Hat Club just dropped a stunning tribute to one of baseball’s most emotional moments with the New Era 59Fifty Chicago Cubs 2016 World Series Patch 1979 Hat in Royal and Camo. This $55 fitted celebrates the Cubs’ legendary championship victory that ended a staggering 108-year drought, the longest in MLB history. The royal blue crown paired with camo visor creates a unique colorway that stands out from typical Cubs releases, while the official 2016 World Series patch serves as a permanent reminder of that magical October night.

The 2016 Cubs weren’t just good, they were historically dominant in ways that made their championship feel inevitable yet miraculous. The team won 103 games that season, their most since 1910, and absolutely crushed their division by 17½ games behind Jake Arrieta’s incredible 11-2 record with a 1.74 ERA through his first 15 starts. What makes this even more special is how the Cubs’ 2016 championship story included some of the quirkiest team-building activities in baseball history, from karaoke sessions to mimes and magicians during spring training, proving that sometimes the most unconventional approaches lead to extraordinary results.

For collectors, this fitted represents more than just another team hat, it’s a wearable piece of baseball folklore that commemorates the moment an entire city’s generational curse was finally broken. The fact that the Cubs became the first team since the 1979 Pirates to win Games 6 and 7 on the road makes this championship even more remarkable, and having that history sitting on your fitted shelf is something special. With sizes running from 7 to 8, this Hat Club exclusive gives Cubs fans and collectors alike the chance to own a piece of that unforgettable October magic.
