The New York Yankees are getting a high fashion makeover with Gucci’s Pre-Fall 2018 collection.

The Italian fashion giant has collaborated with Major Baseball League for a range of colorful baseball hats embossed with Gucci’s signature snake emblem and patch details. The limited edition line up also features embellished beanie hats, and an array of stylish sweaters and blazers.

“Inspired by the customized Major League Baseball hats that have come to define Alessandro Michele’s looks, a special line-up of caps presented for the Pre-Fall 2018 collection combines the New York Yankees patch with emblematic House codes,” the brand said in a statement.

Although baseball caps have always been an integral part of American pop culture, this collection marks the sports brand’s first collaboration with a luxury label. This historic partnership will continue into the Fall/Winter line ups and include merchandise inspired by several of MLB's iconic teams in both apparel and accessories categories.

The Gucci X Major Baseball League collection is priced between $340 and $590 and available online now.
