Los Mets 50th Anniversary Fitted: New Era Celebrates Five Decades of Mets History

New Era’s latest drop pays tribute to half a century of New York Mets history with this stunning Los Mets 50th Anniversary 59FIFTY fitted hat. Featuring a crisp chrome white crown with black accents and a striking green under brim, this commemorative piece captures the essence of the franchise’s rich heritage. The special 50th anniversary side patch makes this release a must-have for collectors looking to celebrate the Mets’ incredible journey from their 1962 inception through decades of unforgettable baseball moments. Available now at ecapcity for $51.99, this fitted comes in a full size run from 7 to 8.

The Mets franchise is packed with incredible stories that make this anniversary celebration even more meaningful. Did you know that after starting their existence with a string of losses, the team’s very first franchise win came on April 23, 1962, with a commanding 9-1 victory in Pittsburgh? Even more fascinating is that Shea Stadium, the team’s longtime home, was originally going to be called ‘Flushing Meadows Stadium’ before being renamed after William A. Shea in February 1963. The team’s early years were spent at the historic Polo Grounds, where only 1,752 fans showed up for their final game before the move to Shea, witnessing the end of one era and the beginning of another.

What makes this fitted truly special for collectors is how it represents the most incredible moments in Mets franchise history, from the ‘Miracle Mets’ World Series victory in 1969 to the unforgettable 1986 championship run featuring legends like Darryl Strawberry and Ray Knight. The chrome white colorway gives this piece a premium feel that matches the significance of celebrating 50 years of Mets baseball, making it a perfect addition to any serious fitted collection or a meaningful gift for the Mets faithful in your life.
