LAFC and New Era Present the 'Icon' Collection

LAFC have managed to galvanise a movement and embrace a strong fanbase through the message their headwear sends out. Collaborating with powerhouse of the hat game, the club have teamed up with New Era for their 'ICON' collection.

Los Angeles Football Club (LAFC) have created a character and culture around their club that is all about incorporating them into the community. Their hats were one of the first products out of their blocks, even before ground was broken on their stadium. So now, it's only right, a few years on and well established into their inaugural season, that giants of the headwear scene, New Era come on board.

Bringing some black and gold to the world known 59FIFTY fitted cap, the LAFC “Icon” is the first partnership of its kind as LAFC become the first MLS Club to co-create a signature series of merchandise with New Era. "New Era is the heart of cap culture, and now they are in the heart of the city with LAFC” explained LAFC Executive Vice President of Brand & Community Rich Orosco.
