New Era and MLB Release the “Sakura Pack” Collection

by

New Era and MLB have teamed up for a “Sakura Pack” series of sakura-blossom-adorned team hats that salute the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, Pittsburgh Pirates and San Diego Padres and also includes a custom New Era logo lockup. Across classic 59FIFTY fitted caps and unstructured, adjustable 9TWENTY styles, the team’s familiar logos are sprinkled with custom pink-and-white embroidery that salutes Japan’s sakura (cherry blossom) season — which usually runs from late March to early May.

Besides the standard team-issue colors like the Yankees’ navy hat and the Dodgers’ royal blue hat, the collection also uses earthy tones across its styles for a nod to its natural inspiration. The New Era-branded styles on offer feature a flowing “NE” logo hit for individuals who aren’t looking to rep a specific squad.

Just as the delightful cherry blossom season is upon us, it’s timely that these hats (currently in stock) have arrived. Meanwhile, MLB’s “Tokyo Series” is underway, a four-game event featuring the Chicago Cubs versus the Hanshin Tigers, and the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Yomiuri Giants. The Cubs and Dodgers will clash on March 18 and 19, these matches kickstarting the MLB regular season. Japanese baseball stars like Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Shota Imanaga, and Seiya Suzuki are expected to play in these games.

The New Era x MLB “Sakura Pack” is available now in Japan, so stay tuned for info on a potential global release date.
