Whether one is a die-hard Yankee or just a casual observer, there is no doubt the New York Yankees are a team that evokes passion and pride. The sight of the iconic Bronx, the echoing sound of thousands of fans cheering, and the history of 27 World Championship rings resonate with an emotion of glory and rich history. And back in 2018, the Yankee greatness reached a new level, when $18 billion worth of fashion giant Gucci tied up with the New York Yankees to release merchandise.

The merchandise included various Pinstripes items. From caps to scarves, jackets, and jeans, Gucci covered everything. And the price of these items… Just imagine Gucci in the heart of the Big Apple. And it is not difficult to imagine the price.

The classic Pinstripes meet the iconic Green-Red-Green Stripe

In a Daily Mail report from 2018, Gucci joined forces with baseball giants to create a new line of merchandise following the footsteps of the San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers.

The collection comprised a $790 scarf, and two luxurious cardigans, each priced at $3,300. The first cardigan was a rich, dark blue with the iconic Yankee symbol displayed on the top right. On the other hand, the second cardigan was adorned with the letters ‘N’ and ‘Y’ strategically positioned on opposite sides of the buttons. Moreover, the collection also included high-waist, 80s-fit jeans worth $1,300.

Notably, before the Yankees-Gucci joined hands, Gucci had made some select merchandise for the San Francisco Giants – a sweatshirt with letters ‘S’ and ‘F’ interlocked. In addition to that, Gucci also made leather slippers with the Dodgers logo.
