85 Years Strong Fitted: New Era Honors Rangers Legacy with Anniversary Patch

The New York Rangers have been lighting the lamp at Madison Square Garden for 85 incredible years, and now Hat Club is celebrating this milestone with the New Era 59FIFTY New York Rangers 85th Anniversary Patch Hat in Royal. This commemorative fitted captures the essence of Broadway’s Blueshirts with a clean royal blue crown that mirrors the team’s iconic colorway, topped off with a special 85th anniversary side patch that marks nearly nine decades of Rangers hockey history.

Since joining the NHL in 1926, the Rangers have delivered some of the most memorable moments in hockey history. The team earned the nickname “Broadway Blueshirts” not just for their Manhattan location, but for their flair for the dramatic, including their legendary 1994 Stanley Cup victory that ended a 54-year championship drought. Fun fact: the Rangers were actually named after their first general manager, Tex Rickard, whose nickname was “Tex’s Rangers.” The team also holds the distinction of being the first NHL franchise to reach 4,000 regular season wins, a testament to their enduring competitive spirit that spans generations of hockey fans.

For collectors, this 85th anniversary piece represents more than just team loyalty, it’s a wearable piece of hockey heritage. Available exclusively in size 7 for just $29.98 at Hat Club, this fitted offers serious value for such a historically significant commemorative release. The royal colorway perfectly captures the Rangers’ traditional look while the anniversary patch adds that special collector appeal that makes this hat a must-have for any serious Rangers fan or fitted enthusiast looking to rep one of the Original Six franchises.
