Concepts is back with a new summer capsule dubbed 'Home Plate' that evokes the spirit of a baseball game in the city of Boston. The collection includes varsity jumpers, crewneck sweaters, pleated sweatpants, and new Concepts-branded monogram hoodies. Other offerings include a dog collar, tapestry blanket, and boat tote.
The "CC" hoodies feature lettering on the sleeves that read "Drama without words" or "Ballet without music," both of which are quotes from baseball's best commentators. Concepts' new Home Plate logo, stylized in enameled silver, adorns the entire baseball-inspired capsule.
Concepts ‘Home Plate’ collection fuses sports and streetwear culture, emphasizing New England accessories and themes. The range will be available on the Concepts website and stores on June 3, with the forthcoming New Era collaboration arriving shortly after.
