Vaulted: New Era Toronto Blue Jays Seaweed & Suede 59Fifty Fitted Hat
, by Daniel Aversa, 2 min reading time
Not all fitteds are created equal. Some hats are destined to be everyday staples, while others earn their place as legendary collector’s items. The New Era Toronto Blue Jays Seaweed & Suede 59Fifty Fitted Hat falls into the second category. One of the most sought-after Blue Jays logos ever used on the field is a design that has since been vaulted and can’t be reordered, making it an instant grail for collectors.
The hat features a deep, seaweed-green crown paired with a rich walnut suede visor, a combination that gives it a unique texture and an elevated look compared to standard fitteds. Underneath, a grey undervisor adds a clean, classic touch, while the 30 Seasons side patch celebrates three decades of Blue Jays baseball. Finished with a black sweatband and New Era’s signature fitted construction.
What truly sets this fitted apart, however, is the logo. Initially introduced in the early 2000s, this Blue Jays design marked a bold departure from the team’s original 1977 bird and preceded the 2012 return to the retro look we know today. The logo features a fierce Blue Jay in motion, set against a strong “T” backdrop for Toronto. It represented a transitional era for the franchise, used both on the field and in official team branding. While it may not have had the longest run in Blue Jays history, its sharp lines and modern feel struck a chord with fans. Because the design has since been vaulted, it can no longer be produced by AnthemShop, instantly raising its status among fitted hat collectors.
In the hat community, vaulted logos carry serious weight. They represent a piece of history that can’t be replicated, and when paired with premium design choices like suede brims or specialty colorways, they become even more desirable. This Blue Jays Seaweed & Suede fitted checks every box. It tells a story about a specific chapter in Toronto baseball, it uses materials that stand out in any collection, and it delivers a logo that will never return to circulation.
