Awake NY Teams up With New Era to Drop Subway Series Collection
Commemorating the longstanding NYC rivalry between the Mets and Yankees.
Following its FW20 collaboration with Levi’s, Awake NY now joins forces with New Era on a collection celebrating this year’s Major League Baseball Subway Series.
To memorialize the longstanding rivalry between the New York teams, the duo released a selection of classic 59FIFTY caps adorned with an embroidered Awake NY logo on the side panel with a commemorative Subway Series patch on the opposite portion.
Accompanying the headwear are two graphic tees featuring the teams’ respective colorways and typefaces alongside Awake NY branding across the chest portions. The New York Yankees option features the phrase “Uptown is the place where I lay my dome on the streets of The Bronx where my family roam” on the back portion. For The New York Mets tee variant, the phrase “There is a war going outside no man is safe from” is embellished on the reverse.
