Supreme presents the first collaboration of Fall 2021 that reflects better than any other, the intrinsic relationship that exists between New York and the brand founded by James Jebbia in the Big Apple in 1994, and now a symbol of the city.
The partnership in question is with another NYC icon, the legendary New York Yankees, one of two MLB (Major League Baseball) teams based in New York City.
The Yankees – born in 1901 as the Baltimore Orioles, became the New York Highlanders when the franchise was moved to New York in 1903 and finally became the New York Yankees in 1913 – represent in the collective imagination, a true aesthetic extension of the city and their logo is perhaps one of the most recognizable globally. It’s not just about sports, the Yankees have transcended the playing diamond to become a global pop icon.
The collaboration is also thanks to MLB and obviously focuses on the Yankees’ unmistakable logo, that interlocking “NY” first used in 1909, draws inspiration from a medal of honor created by Louis Tiffany of Tiffany & Co. in 1877 and given to John McDowell, an NYPD officer shot while doing his job.
The collection consists of a GORE-TEX 700-Fill Down Jacket, Track Jacket, Denim Trucker Jacket, Short Sleeve Top, Hoodie, Track Pant, Jeans, Sweatpant, New Era® Fitted Hat, New Era® Beanie and a Skateboard.
The entire capsule of the collaboration between Supreme and the New York Yankees will be released on September 2 via the skate brand’s online shop.
