New Era Canada
Official Caps and Headwear of the Academy
New Era and the Vauxhall Academy of Baseball have agreed to a 3 year contract taking the partnership through 2009/2010.
New Era will again this year be supplying the official headwear for the Academy. Academy players will be wearing the 59FIFTY model, which is the same cap worn by all Major League Baseball teams. New Era also supplies the caps for Team Canada, many College Teams and the World Baseball Classic. The Academy will have 2 caps – 1 maroon cap with a black/gold logo and 1 black cap with a maroon/gold logo.
“The Academy is extremely gratified to be working with New Era,” McTavish said. “New Era is the world leader in headwear and we all believe that our players, coaches, and support staff will be extremely proud to wear MLB quality caps in 2007/2008. The Academy is very proud to partner with New Era Canada through 2010. This partnership shows the vision and commitment of New Era.”
Jennifer Hevey, Marketing Manager at New Era Cap Canada, said “that with New Era Cap being so deeply rooted in the sport of Baseball, we are excited and proud to have the opportunity to be the official headwear of the Vauxhall Academy and look forward to a lasting relationship. In addition this year we are thrilled to be able to provide the Academy with our new performance fabric. To the naked eye, the latest edition of New Era classic 59FIFTY design looks identical to that of previous years, but looks can be deceiving. Every inch of this cap is infused with New Era moisture management technology, a revolutionary advancement in cap engineering that results in superior dryness, ultimate comfort and total durability. This cap wicks sweat with unprecedented efficiency and its feels better and lasts longer than any cap of its kind.”
