In observance of Armed Forces Day, Major League Baseball teams will take part in special ceremonies and don unique on-field attire during a designated weekend in spring. As part of this annual tradition, the league collaborates with New Era to release a commemorative hat collection for fans. The 2024 MLB Armed Forces hat sets a new standard in MLB hat design, featuring an array of styles for each team, including fitted, adjustable, and low profile options.
Among the collection’s highlights is the New York Yankees hat, which features a captivating camouflage-print team logo, six gold stars, and an eye-catching armed forces side patch. The collection’s design pattern remains consistent across all 30 MLB teams: a black hat adorned with gold stars, a military squared camo-print team logo, and an armed services patch featuring an American flag pattern superimposed over crossed lightning bolts.
The Toronto Blue Jays hat stands out as an exception, proudly displaying a side patch that pays homage to the Canadian flag instead of the Stars and Stripes. The Armed Forces Day hats come in a variety of styles, including 59FIFTY Fitted, 9FIFTY Snapback, 39THIRTY Flex, 9TWENTY Adjustable, and bucket hats. These hats serve as a meaningful gift for armed forces service members or any MLB fan who wishes to express their support for veterans and active military personnel.
Unlike last year’s Army green hats with monochrome American flags, the 2024 collection takes on a distinct tone. However, those who prefer the previous style can still find limited availability on Fanatics, depending on the team. The 2024 hat offers a wider selection.
For fans seeking specific team gear, a comprehensive list of New Era MLB Armed Forces Day hats is provided below.
In addition to honoring Armed Forces Day, MLB Charities actively supports military members and various military-related organizations.
