The Complete Yankees Hat Guide: New Era Fitted, Snapback & More

The New York Yankees cap is one of the most recognizable pieces of headwear in the world. That interlocking "NY" logo has been worn from the Bronx to Tokyo — and it looks good everywhere. But with so many styles, fits, and colorways available, it can be tough to know which Yankees hat is right for you. Here's our complete guide.
New Era 59FIFTY — The Fitted Cap
The 59FIFTY is the official on-field cap of Major League Baseball and the gold standard of baseball headwear. It features a structured crown, flat brim, and a precise fit — no adjustable strap, just your exact size.
Who it's for: Fans who want the authentic on-field look. If you've ever seen a Yankees player tip their cap on the field, this is what they're wearing.
How to size it: Measure your head circumference in inches or centimeters and match it to New Era's size chart. Most adult men wear a 7 to 7 5/8.
Colors available: Navy (traditional), black alternate, home white, road gray, and various special edition colorways throughout the season.
New Era 9FORTY — The Adjustable Dad Cap
The 9FORTY is the most versatile Yankees cap we carry. It features an unstructured, low-profile crown and an adjustable metal buckle or velcro strap in the back. It fits virtually everyone and requires no sizing knowledge whatsoever.
Who it's for: Anyone who wants a relaxed, casual Yankees cap. This is the style you'll see most often on the streets of New York.
Styling tip: The 9FORTY looks great worn slightly back on the head for a more relaxed vibe, or forward for a cleaner look.
New Era 9FIFTY — The Snapback
The 9FIFTY has a structured crown like the fitted 59FIFTY, but with a flat brim and a snapback closure in the back. It gives you that bold, premium look with the flexibility of an adjustable fit.
Who it's for: Fans who want the structured look of a fitted cap without the hassle of sizing. Also popular for collectors who want multiple colorways without buying multiples in each size.
'47 Brand — The Clean Alternative
'47 Brand makes excellent Yankees caps with a slightly more relaxed, vintage-inspired aesthetic. Their MVP cap is a popular choice for fans who want something a little different than New Era while still repping official Yankees gear.
Who it's for: Fans who prefer a softer look or vintage feel. '47 caps often age beautifully and develop character over years of wear.
Kids & Youth Yankees Hats
New Era makes youth versions of all their most popular styles. Youth 59FIFTY and 9FORTY caps are available in smaller sizes perfect for young fans. These make excellent gifts — especially paired with a youth jersey for the little Yankees fan in your life.
Specialty & Limited Edition Yankees Caps
Throughout the season, New Era releases specialty Yankees caps including:
- Armed Forces Day caps — camouflage colorways with stars
- 4th of July caps — red, white, and blue designs
- Mother's Day caps — pink accents on classic navy
- Spring Training caps — lighter colorways worn during Florida exhibition games
These limited-edition caps sell out fast — check our hats & caps page for current availability.
The Bottom Line
For the classic Yankees look: New Era 59FIFTY in navy. For everyday wear with no sizing stress: New Era 9FORTY adjustable. For a bold streetwear vibe: New Era 9FIFTY snapback. And for a vintage feel: '47 Brand MVP.
Whatever you choose, you'll be wearing one of the most iconic logos in sports.
