The New Era x Spike Lee 30th Anniversary Red New York Yankees Cap is crafted in the original red colourway from 30 years ago, featuring the Yankees' logo on the front of the crown and a custom side patch commemorating the 30th anniversary. Adding to its exclusivity, Spike Lee's signature appears on the under visor of the cap.

During the 1996 World Series, Spike Lee made a call to Chris Koch, New Era's CEO, with an unprecedented request: a red New York Yankees cap—far from the franchise's traditional navy blue—to match the jacket he wanted to wear to Game 3.

At the time, MLB caps were only produced in the official team colourways, making Spike's ask a challenge to convention at the highest level. When Spike made the call, New Era worked with our incredible partners at Major League Baseball and the New York Yankees to make it happen—helping spark a cultural movement that transformed a cap into a global symbol of identity.

When Spike wore the 59FIFTY red Yankees cap to Game 3 of the World Series, what followed became a defining moment in culture, officially merging sportswear and fashion.
