New York Mets 1998 Two-Tone 59FIFTY Fitted Cap

Call it a hot take, but the New York Mets' black hats and jerseys were among the team's most stylish of all. 1998 saw the introduction of black (including this two-tone beauty) to the ball club's duds after 36 years of wearing royal blue. No one rocked the look better than the Met’s newly acquired, all-star catcher, Mike Piazza. In '98, Piazza notched a cool 32 home runs and 111 RBI, confirming the Mets chose right. Piazza — who'd go on to be a Hall of Famer — helped the Mets make the playoffs in '99 after a torpid 10-year drought, the likes of which was followed by a World Series appearance in 2000 against their bitter rivals, the New York Yankees, a battle known today as the "Subway Series." * Part of our fifth ever drop, the New York Double! * We ship within 24 hours. * Every hat gets brushed with a Captician cap brush before shipment. * We proudly reuse shipping boxes. ——— Details — Colours: Black crown, royal blue visor and squatchee, grey under visor, royal and orange embroidery Size: 7 1/4 Fit: True to size Fabrication: 100% polyester Sweatband: Black Condition: Like New; Immaculately curved and worn once, stored since Originally purchased in 2022 Made in China Photo courtesy of Wikimedia Commons (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mike_Piazza_%281999%29.jpg)
