Italian Fashion House Gucci announced that it has teamed up with an unlikely suitor, Major League Baseball. The upcoming Pre-Fall 2018 collection will feature fitted caps, accessories and apparel with some of the leagues most historic teams like the New York Yankees.

Featured in the collection’s lookbook are a variety of Gucci x MLB Yankees hats ranging in color and style. From a classic Yankees hat emblazoned with Gucci’s snake emblem to a pink rendition and a Gucci x Yankees beanie. The caps are the first in line for the fashion and baseball collab.

More from the collaboration will be apparel and accessories debuting as part of the brand’s upcoming Fall 2018 collection, which hits the runway in Milan this February according to Harpers Bazaar.

The price point for Gucci x MLB hasn’t been set yet, but standard Gucci caps typically range from $240 – $360. As for the MLB, this marks the first time the baseball league has teamed up with a luxury fashion brand and I am expecting the cost to be line with their base consumer. So definitely not $20, but not $200 either.
