An exceptional vintage piece of sports memorabilia, this highly collectible Mirage "First String" Cooperstown Collection bomber jacket celebrates the historic 1961 World Series matchup between the New York Yankees and the Cincinnati Reds. Fully reversible, this dual-sided jacket beautifully balances classic athletic styling with dense, detailed graphics commemorating one of baseball's greatest eras.

Design Details

• Off-White / Cream Side: Crafted from a durable cotton blend, the back features a massive, screen-printed vintage box score graphic commemorating Game 5 on October 9th, where the Yankees clinched the championship. Styled after classic newspaper typography, it includes detailed illustrations of Yankee Stadium, crossed bats, a baseball ribbon emblem, and references Roger Maris’s legendary "61 in '61" home run milestone. The front remains clean and minimalist with two slip pockets.

• Navy Pinstripe Side: Reversing to a traditional baseball jersey-inspired aesthetic, this side features a faded navy canvas subtly patterned with vertical white pinstripes. The front left chest boasts a large, textured white chenille New York Yankees "NY" logo patch, complemented by a snap-flap coin pocket at the lower right. The left sleeve features embroidered "World Series Champions" cursive script surrounding a baseball emblem. The back features prominent "NEW YORK 1961 YANKEES" lettering in stitched tackle twill patches.

• Hardware & Trim: Equipped with a heavy-duty, reversible metal zipper closure. The collar, cuffs, and waistband are finished with a robust, ribbed elastic knit featuring a cream and navy striped pattern.
