Midsummer Classic Fitted: New Era Cubs 1990 All-Star Game Wood Hat Drops in Black/Olive

New Era just dropped something special for Cubs collectors with their 59FIFTY Chicago Cubs 1990 All Star Game Patch Wood Hat in a striking black and olive colorway. This fitted cap commemorates the 1990 MLB All-Star Game, featuring the distinctive side patch that celebrates one of baseball’s most cherished midsummer traditions. Available exclusively at Hat Club for $55, this premium piece combines New Era’s signature construction with a unique wood-inspired design that sets it apart from standard releases.

The 1990 All-Star Game was held at Wrigley Field on July 10th, marking only the second time the Friendly Confines hosted the Midsummer Classic. The American League took a 2-0 victory that night, but Cubs fans had plenty to cheer about with Ryne Sandberg and Andre Dawson representing the home team. What made this game particularly memorable was the pre-game ceremony honoring the All-Century Team nominees, and the fact that it was one of the last All-Star Games played entirely on natural grass at the time, giving Wrigley’s ivy-covered walls their moment to shine on the national stage.

For fitted hat enthusiasts, this release represents more than just team pride, it’s a piece of Wrigley Field history captured in premium headwear. The black and olive colorway gives this commemorative piece a vintage military-inspired aesthetic that pairs perfectly with the wood hat treatment. With only sizes 7 and 7 1/8 available, this limited drop from Hat Club is already generating buzz among collectors who appreciate the intersection of baseball history and streetwear culture.
