New Swag

I'll hold judgment until I see more, but does a rugby shirt for a football team feel a little odd to anybody else? Apart from that it looks like most ONLY NY stuff. Real clean bordering on uninspired. Will probably look amazing after 20 washes though.
No worse than a baseball cap for a soccer club. At least rugby and soccer used to be one sport. I agree about the designs tho.

Lol, fair point. I guess I don't associate those caps with baseball, but others might say the same about those shirts and rugby.

That's funny because rugby shirts used to be a huge fashion thing a while ago, maybe in the '80s or something. Like you'd have heard of rugby but there was no way you'd ever seen it played here in the US, except that everyone was wearing randomly colored rugby shirts simply because they were cool. So back then there wasn't really any association of the shirt with the sport, at least not here. It was just a thing you wore.

It's like plaid. The different plaids mean something in Scotland, say, but here they're just a colorful pattern we put on flannel shirts and things.
 
Lands' End rugby shirts were a staple of my early 80s childhood...

How many people even remotely associate a polo shirt with polo?
I for one only wear my polo shirts when my horse and I are on the polo field

Not really a street wear guy but that hat is the cleanest one I've seen except for fan-made custom jobs and I will probably be picking it up.
I'll get it. Looks like a solid casual weekend cap

It amazes me that 4 years ago we became an official club and adidas failed to produce the simple hat with just the inner emblem of our logo. Only Ny announces the collab like a week ago and it's the first hat they release.
Sometimes big corporations are just so blind to the easy money, but it's OK, we got that cap posted above!

The black and orange isn't perfectly simple and clean with the detailed stitching, but it does have just the inner part of the logo set off against a black background. It's been around for over a year. I have no issues with adjustables.

The one on the right might be new and is extremely clean and simple. I never saw it before I picked it up at the Colorado game when it started raining and I forgot to bring a hat.
