About This Fitted
New Era’s latest drop takes us back to one of the most significant moments in Toronto Blue Jays history with the Black Toronto Blue Jays Gray Bottom 1991 All Star Game Side Patch New Era 59Fifty Fitted. This sharp black crown and gray bottom colorway commemorates the 1991 MLB All-Star Game, when Toronto became only the second city outside the United States to host baseball’s midsummer classic. Available now at exclusive_fitted for $44.99, this fitted features the iconic side patch celebrating the historic game played under the world’s first fully retractable roof at SkyDome.
The 1991 All-Star Game at SkyDome was full of memorable moments that baseball fans still talk about today. The evening kicked off with an awkward but endearing mix-up during player introductions when Joe Carter was announced first but Jimmy Key was actually lined up first, leaving Carter standing with his arms crossed while confused fans cheered. The game also made history when Roberto and Sandy Alomar Jr. became the first brothers to play together in an All-Star Game, batting 8th and 9th in the lineup. Adding to the unique atmosphere, the Home Run Derby unusually took place during the afternoon before the game, with Cal Ripken Jr. taking home the crown.
For fitted hat collectors, this piece represents more than just Toronto baseball history, it captures a pivotal moment when the Blue Jays organization proved they belonged on the world stage. The clean black and gray colorway with blue accents perfectly reflects the classic 1990s aesthetic, while the side patch serves as a conversation starter about one of the most unique All-Star Games ever played. With the Blue Jays going on to win back-to-back World Series titles in 1992 and 1993, this 1991 commemoration represents the beginning of the franchise’s golden era.
