The New York Yankees wear camo hats as part of Major League Baseball's annual tradition to honor the United States military on Armed Forces Day. MLB teams wear camouflage-patterned caps for games around the third weekend in May to show respect and appreciation for the sacrifices of military personnel. These camo hats feature custom military-inspired designs and logos, and MLB donates 100% of the licensed royalties from the sale of these Armed Forces Day gear to charities supporting service members, veterans, and military families. This tradition started in 2019 to specifically highlight Armed Forces Day with camo-themed apparel as a gesture of gratitude and support for the military community. The camo hats are worn by players, managers, and coaches during this commemorative weekend each year.
