Mets 40th Anniversary Fitted: New Era’s Drippy Logo Celebrates Franchise Milestones

New Era delivers a fresh take on Mets history with their latest 40th Anniversary 59FIFTY fitted hat, featuring a striking drippy logo design in black with royal blue accents and a clean green under brim. This commemorative piece celebrates four decades of memorable moments in Mets franchise history, from their humble beginnings as expansion team underdogs in 1962 to their championship glory in 1969 and 1986. Available now at ecapcity for $59.99, this fitted captures the essence of a franchise that has given fans some of baseball’s most unforgettable moments.

The Mets’ journey to greatness is filled with fascinating details that make this anniversary celebration even more special. Did you know that Shea Stadium was originally going to be called ‘Flushing Meadows Stadium’ until Mayor Wagner officially changed the name to honor William A. Shea in February 1963? Even more remarkable, the team’s transition from the historic Polo Grounds to their new home created instant magic, with Willie Stargell recording the very first hit at Shea Stadium with a line-drive home run off Jack Fisher on Opening Day 1964. Perhaps most memorably, Mike Piazza’s emotional home run in the Mets’ first game back in New York after 9/11 created what witnesses described as euphoria like never before at Shea Stadium.

For collectors, this drippy logo design represents more than just another fitted release, it’s a wearable tribute to a franchise that has consistently delivered miraculous moments when fans needed them most. The 40th Anniversary side patch adds authentic commemorative appeal, while the unique colorway ensures this piece will stand out in any collection. With sizes ranging from 6 7/8 to 8, this New Era creation perfectly balances historical significance with contemporary street style.
