NY caps a must for urban fashion!

The cap market in the United States began to show signs of weakness in the 1930s. At the same time, baseball gained in popularity and became one of the favourite pastimes of Americans. It was at this time that the New Era company took a closer interest in this sport, where wearing a cap was already a given, especially to protect oneself from the sun. And it is from this moment that the idea of making specific caps for these top athletes appeared and the first caps for baseball professionals made their appearance.

Since the craze for these NY caps has grown to such an extent that they were later distributed to the general public, and some brands have taken up the concept, such as 47 Brand in particular. They are now sold as fashion accessories in their own right, and are also available in many different forms:

  • NY Snapback baseball caps : adjustable at the back thanks to a snap button system
  • NY Fitted baseball caps: caps that are cut and therefore not adjustable
  • NY Strapback baseball caps: adjustable at the back thanks to a buckle tightening system
  • NY Trucker baseball caps : caps with an openwork net-like back part

Today these baseball caps have become a must-have accessory in urban fashion, where they are no longer necessarily worn to support your favourite baseball team, but to create an urban, casual and trendy look!
