Fans of the teams will take up interest in the vintage jerseys as the New York Yankees piece is taken from the team's 1988 stock and the Boston Red Sox from 1989. Gourmet Footwear and Mitchell & Ness update the two with leapord prints tanned suede fabrics, providing edgy detailing where there often is none.
