’47 PARTNERS WITH EBBETS FIELD FLANNELS FOR TWO LIMITED-EDITION HEADWEAR COLLECTIONS
Sports lifestyle brand ’47, best known for its stylish baseball caps, is collaborating with Ebbets Field Flannels, known for its authentic historic reproduction styles, on two limited edition collections of Major League Baseball headwear, crafted with historical features, and inspired by vintage designs. One collection will be available only from ’47, and the other, only from Ebbets Field Flannels. The two companies released their respective collections simultaneously today.
“Our partnership with Ebbets Field Flannels is rooted in authenticity,” states Dave Zaleznick, VP of Brand at ’47. “There’s great synergy between our brands and our shared values in quality & storytelling allowed this collaboration to come naturally – especially as we enter a new MLB season.”
’47 will be offering the MLB Press Pin Collection, based on a unique part of baseball history: Press Pins were distributed to the media for press box access before the advent of the modern press credential. This collection features vintage-inspired garment-washed twill ’47 CLEAN UPs for 16 historic National and American League teams, each adorned with chain stitch embroidered felt appliqué recreations of classic press pins.
“Ebbets is known for offering the most accurate historic caps in terms of fabric and construction,” states Jerry Cohen, Co-Founder of Ebbets Field Flannels. “We are thrilled to be working with ’47, a brand that we’ve respected since our earliest days, and a company that has always brought tremendous creativity and quality to their products.”
Ebbets Field Flannels will be offering the Golden Age MLB Cap Collection, featuring the original 16 National and American League teams from the first half of the 20th Century. Each cap tells a story, from the first decade of the modern era to the early 1950s. These caps were meticulously researched and chosen with a variety of criteria in mind, including rarity, color, and style, with some 8-panel caps included.
The ’47 x Ebbets two limited-edition collections are available beginning today on their respective websites either on www.47Brand.com or www.Ebbets.com.
