Words by Jerry Cohen, founder of EBBETS FIELD FLANNELS

Started Ebbets Field Flannels in the late '80s dedicated to replicating the classic baseball Funiforms, made with the classic materials, using the original manufacturing processes. He was the evangelist for the timeless baseball uniform style, why it was better and what was beautiful about it. The Sox home uiform is a perfect example.

For the 40th anniversary of the 1967 Red Sox "Impossible Dream Team", the Sox asked him to make the uniforms for all surviving veterans. Also for the 50th anniversary in 2017.

About Ebbets Field Flannels

Cohen had been fascinated by baseball uniforms and emblems since he was a child, but as an adult failed to find anywhere to buy vintage flannel shirts. Eventually tracking down a warehouse that stocked the wool used in baseball uniforms, Cohen had a few shirts made for himself. After finding that when wearing the shirts, the people he met wanted to buy them straight from his back, Ebbets Field Flannels was born. Focusing on non-major league teams, the company has brought largely unknown baseball history to the public. The Ebbets Field Flannels collection features windbreakers, shirts and caps.
