Description
MoMA Exclusive: This special edition design is an official version of the original New York Yankees cap that features the MoMA logo on one side, a New Era logo on the other, and the MLB (Major League Baseball) emblem on the back. This fitted baseball cap is made in the USA of wool.
Choose from sizes ranging from 6 7/8 through 7 3/4.
This limited-edition design is inspired by MoMA’s exhibition Items: Is Fashion Modern?, on view from October 1, 2017 through January 28, 2018. The exhibition explores the past and present—and in some cases also the future—of 111 items that have had a strong impact on history and society in the 20th and 21st centuries.
Why We Chose This
This cap design at MoMA Design Store coincided with the Museum’s exhibition Items: Is Fashion Modern?, which featured baseball caps by New Era Cap Company. In the spirit of the city where MoMA is based, we chose the New York Yankees version of this design. Items: Is Fashion Modern? features 111 iconic items and is the first fashion exhibition presented at MoMA since Bernard Rudofsky’s 1944 show Are Clothes Modern?—a title that is referenced in the Museum’s current exhibition.
