1996 All-Star Fitted: New Era Drops Phillies Dog Ear Corduroy with Vintage Faux Fur

New Era just dropped a serious throwback that’s got collectors buzzing. The 59FIFTY Dog Ear Philadelphia Phillies 1996 All Star Game Patch Corduroy Faux Fur Hat in black is a premium tribute to one of the most memorable Midsummer Classics in recent history. This isn’t your typical fitted cap, featuring luxurious corduroy construction with faux fur accents and that coveted dog ear styling that screams vintage authenticity. The 1996 All-Star Game patch takes center stage, commemorating the event that brought baseball’s brightest stars to Veterans Stadium in South Philadelphia.

The 1996 All-Star Game was a special homecoming for the City of Brotherly Love, marking the first time Philadelphia hosted the Midsummer Classic since 1976. What made this game truly unforgettable was witnessing future Hall of Famers like Ken Griffey Jr., Tony Gwynn, and Cal Ripken Jr. share the field during baseball’s steroid era peak. The National League took home a 6-0 victory behind Mike Piazza’s dominant performance, but the real story was seeing legends like Ozzie Smith in his final All-Star appearance and watching a young Derek Jeter make his All-Star debut just months into his rookie season.

Hat Club is offering this premium piece at $60 across a full size run from 6 7/8 to 8, making it accessible for collectors looking to add some serious vintage flair to their rotation. The combination of corduroy, faux fur, and that iconic dog ear construction makes this more than just another team fitted, it’s a wearable piece of All-Star Game history that captures the essence of mid-90s baseball culture when fitted caps were becoming the ultimate style statement.
