Gear

When I was first introduced to Major League Baseball almost all the spectators were male and they wore suits and hats (pictured). 

How times have changed!  Now the crowd is diverse, yet their mode of dress nearly uniform.  

Everyone heralds their home team loyalty 
on their breast, back or head.  We are living in the 21st Century age of lushly abundant team gear.  

It has even crossed over into Fashion and Music.  
It is the will of the people. 

No wonder the owners can break the bank attempting to sign Juan Soto!  Give them credit, they have developed a new, constantly renewing, income stream.  And, as you know, fandom gear is not cheap.  

Sky's the limit.  The money machine is in high Gear!

The advertising on uniforms and gear the players wear in game, is another huge income stream.

It would be interesting to see a blend between a modern style look with the formal fit...really leverage the term "sport coat". Rocking a light blazer on game day with subtle flare.

I'm willing to bet any team gear in your closet El Jefe is "vintage".

Merch - well known and exploited in the music biz. Also… have you been to the movies lately?

I heard merch this morning for first time

While it is a cash cow for advertisers and definite entertainment, what makes it possible is a need to belong, be seen, have fun and the thrill to be associated with a championship team.
