50th Anniversary Fitted: New Era Drops Chrome White Mets DeathNote Logo Tribute

New Era is celebrating five decades of New York Mets history with this stunning chrome white DeathNote logo 59FIFTY fitted hat, available now at ecapcity for $52.99. This special 50th anniversary edition features the sleek chrome white crown with black and gray accents, plus a gray under brim that gives this piece serious collector appeal. The side patch commemorates half a century of Mets baseball, from their humble beginnings at the Polo Grounds to their championship glory at Shea Stadium.

Speaking of those early days, Mets fans might not know that their team’s very first victory came on April 23, 1962, with a dominant 9-1 win in Pittsburgh after starting franchise history with nothing but losses. Even more fascinating is that when the team moved to their new home in 1964, it was almost called Flushing Meadows Stadium before being renamed Shea Stadium in February 1963 after William A. Shea. The first hit ever recorded at that legendary ballpark was actually a home run by Pittsburgh’s Willie Stargell off Mets pitcher Jack Fisher on Opening Day 1964, but the Mets would go on to create some of the most incredible moments in baseball history at that same venue.

This chrome white colorway perfectly captures the clean, classic aesthetic that serious fitted collectors crave, while the 50th anniversary patch adds that historical significance that makes a hat truly special. With sizes ranging from 7 to 8, this piece represents not just Mets pride but five decades of unforgettable baseball moments, from the Miracle Mets of 1969 to Mike Piazza’s emotional post-9/11 home run that created euphoria like never before at Shea Stadium.
