New FanGraphs T-Shirts and Apparel!
Recently, we started running out of t-shirts. As such, we thought it was high time to design some new ones. And design them we did. But we didn’t just stop at t-shirts. Oh no, constant reader, we went the extra mile this time. In addition to t-shirts, which now are available in both men’s and women’s sizes, we now have raglan t-shirts (again, both men’s and woman’s kinds), zip hoodie sweatshirts, baby onesies and hats. You might think of this as the holiday season come many months earlier than normal. And you’d be right.
The person we have to thank for all of this shiny new garb is Aaron Gershman of Creative Sentencing, who you should absolutely hire for your next design project.
Let’s take a look at the designs, which are available for purchase at this very moment.
The men’s t-shirt is a Canvas jersey t-shirt, and it comes in athletic heather. I’d include a picture of the back, but there’s nothing on the back. That’s a theme — these designs are minimalistic in nature. We hope you’re into that sort of thing.
The women’s t-shirt, you’ll notice, is the exact same design. This t-shirt, however, is not Canvas, but rather an LAT Ladies Longer Length Jersey t-shirt. The color is heather.
This Canvas Lightweight Baseball Raglan is the shirt that you never knew you needed for your beer and/or hardball league games. Why not buy one for everyone on your team? You can be Team FanGraphs! The shirt colors here are deep heather and black.
This LAT Ladies Baseball Raglan is the shirt that you never knew you needed for your beer and/or hardball league games. Why not buy one for everyone on your team? You can be Team FanGraphs! The shirt colors here are vintage heather and vintage smoke.
This one might just be my favorite. The Canvas 60/40 Zip Hoodie in dark grey heather is a touch different than the others, as the player in the FanGraphs logo is in white — the black player just didn’t show up against this background. Also, the white player really pops with the white zipper, if I do say so myself.
The coup de grâce — the first-ever FanGraphs hat! This New Era hat is a flatbill snapback, and it comes in charcoal.
Will there be more merchandise in FanGraphs’ future? Who knows? If there’s something you’d like to buy with our logo emblazoned on it, let us know in the comments. Merchandising is, after all, where the real money is made.

Awesome! Definitely going to have to grab those shirts. And you guys need to have some beer and coffee mugs!
Agree about the mugs.
dope gear
kinda wish you guys offered a white hat. FG logo looks weird on charcoal.
The pic doesn’t do the hat justice. I assure you it looks cool/dope/lit/whatever word the kids use these days.
How about a collaboration with Ebbets Field Flannels (www.ebbets.com) on fitted wool caps. Would be a little pricier but I’m sure enough readers would pony up to make it worthwhile.
Can’t tell if being serious or …
I would buy a fitted cap today. I wouldn’t buy a snapback though. I’m just one consumer, and stocking 10 different size hats might not be worth it unless the masses agree. That ragline is snatched tho!
I agree on the fitted hat. I can’t pull off the snapback look.
Is there any reason the Canvas Lightweight Baseball Raglan isn’t available in a medium?

Did you originally post this under an alternate user name?
Would really like a hoodie. Any plans to have them in Small?
Can’t wait for the Dave Carmeron action figure complete with non-blinking and brexiting action.
When can I expect to see a medium size of the Men’s Raglan?
If I buy some merch, can I feel morally justified turning my adblocker back on? The ads on this site feel like they’re constantly becoming more intrusive.
That’ll be 1.68 shirts per year if you buy on the first day of year. On the last day of year, 2.04.
A note, the shirt does shrink a fair amount through normal washing/drying. Maybe there were non-standard care instructions I ignored, but I don’t usually shrink my clothes.
I suggest buying a size up. It would help everyone else if someone could confirm they shrink. Maybe it’s just me.
I should add that my experience only relates to the men’s t-shirt (Canvas). Otherwise, it’s a very nice t-shirt.
Sweet!
Might be asking too much but is there any chance of ever getting the shirts in team colors(ie. Orange and black for orioles instead of the standard green and black fangraphs logo)? That would be pretty sweet.
I like the look of the new gear but those prices are absurd. $40 for a hat and $25 for a normal t-shirt? No thank you.
They were giving out the grey tshirt at the staten island yankees’ sabermetrics day last month. The tshirt is really soft and fits well. Solid Tee
Really want the Men’s Raglan, but I need a medium, any chance that happens?
