Gomes Robe
by McArthur Towel and Sports
You know you’ve been eyeing this bad-boy for your loved one (you) since Jonny started rocking it during the 2010 season. It’s the ultimate tribute to the mohawked-one, but also comfy, intimate and sporty. Just ’cause your chillin’, sippin’ on joe cookin’ an omelet doesn’t mean you can’t rep your team.

Battery Jacket
by Mitchell & Ness
You’ll see plenty of Mitchell & Ness double knits roaming around GABP any game night. We dig retro threads, but think you should take it a step further and channel your inner Sparky with this blast from the past. The Mitchell & Ness “Battery Jacket” is straight forward and to the point. It’s says: I’m a Reds fan dammit and I do like to dress properly for inclimate weather. Wear it with pride.

Party Mustache
by Urban Outfitters
Party LIKE MR. REDLEGS Mustache, you mean? That’s right, put your Sharpies down – You don’t have to have your friend draw that crooked ‘stache on any more before heading to the Great American Ball Yard. It’s big, it’s combable, it’s damn good looking and requires no trimming, or growing-of, for that matter. Don’t be surprised if Rosie Red shows up in your section at the top of the first inning. And the bottom of the third. And most of the fifth and sixth innings and follows you out to your car after the game. It’s just the ‘stache, ya’ll!
Keith Hernandez would be proud. As would Sam.

Area 31 tee
by Unheard Of
Our skillets down at Unheard Of are back at it again with an UPDATED version of their Area 31 t-shirt. This time around, the Jonny-approved tee gets a camouflage upgrade to salute the efforts of our troops around the world. Proceeds from the sale of this tee go directly to the USO. Great stuff. The tee will be available from Unheard Of the week leading up to Redsfest.

by Ebbets Field Flannels
This flannel is the bomb. Go retro-retro with this exact reproduction of Tigers’ 1937 road jersey. As the story goes, the Reds would lend the Tigers (Cincinnati’s Negro League team) their away jerseys. So, in essence, this is also a ’37 Cincinnati Reds jersey. How about them apples?
Ebbets Field Flannels are the best you can get, so go and get it. All jerseys are made to order, so you know your getting fresh flannel when it hits your mailbox. It’s time to finally hang up that Adam Dunn repluthentic and sport some timeless swag at the ballpark.
Oh, and make sure you check out Ebbets’ other Cincinnati-related offerings.
