Duncan McCausland's brand Father Figure is rooted in New York sports, and the imprint has just released a set of cable-knit baseball jerseys in the same vein. The apparel has created its own take on various hometown teams and now highlights baseball.
The new capsule is dubbed 'Capital Collection and it brings attention to both the New York Mets and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Each team gets a knitted jersey as the base foundation with a neutral cream tone as the background. It is then detailed with the respective team's branding right in the middle and on the back of the jersey. The Mets jersey is decorated with Juan Soto's 22 emblem, and the Dodgers jersey has Shohei Ohtani's 17 motif.
