Two powerhouses of the sporting world have come together, with AC Milan and New York Yankees revealing a collaborative limited edition co-branded lifestyle collection, featuring outwear, headwear and accessories.
Crossing boundaries and blurring the lines between sport disciplines through the medium of fashion, European heavyweights, AC Milan have collaborated with MLB side and sporting powerhouse, New York Yankees. The two entities share similarities not only in their on-field success over the years, but also in the sense that they represent their respective cities’ culture and energy. Now they have come together to launch an exclusive joint ACM x New York Yankees lifestyle collection.
Featuring dual branding throughout, including stylised applications of the Yankees’ interlocking NY, the red-and-black crest of AC Milan and the distinctive script word marks of both teams, the collection is led by the capsule’s signature piece — the varsity jacket. Joining the jacket are further unique items for adults and children, including t-shirts, hoodies, sweaters, cardigans and New Era baseball caps and beanies. Other co-branded items include baseballs, playing cards and a notebook.
The collection comes in two distinct chromatic variations, each of which pays homage to the visual identity of both teams. In New York, the collection’s base colour will primarily be the Yankees’ navy blue, and in Milan, the primary base colours will be red and black.
The collaboration furthers the connection between the Yankees and AC Milan’s ownership group — RedBird Capital Partners founded by Gerry Cardinale. In August 2022, Yankee Global Enterprises acquired a minority stake in the ownership of AC Milan.
“With the introduction of the ACM x New York Yankees collection, we celebrate a unique moment in the history of our two iconic brands,” said AC Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani: “The entirety of this collaboration is an homage to the transcendent impact that the cities of Milan and New York maintain on fashion and culture around the world, and we are eager to see that cross-cultural spirit reflected as people enjoy the collection.”
“The New York Yankees and AC Milan are each synonymous with their respective sports and cities,” said Yankees President Randy Levine: “Bringing them together for this project made sense on so many levels, especially considering how our brands resonate among fans of both sports and fashion. We are also thrilled to deepen the ties between our teams and congratulate those who provided input in the design for making a collection that has style and substance.”
The collection is available in-person at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, the MLB Flagship Store in Manhattan, San Siro Stadium and all AC Milan stores in Milan, including the new boutique concept store “La Bottega del Diavolo” within the Club’s Flagship Store on Via Dante in the vibrant heart of the city. The collection is also available online at yankees.com, store.acmilan.com and MLBShop.com.
