The New York Yankees wear camo hats as part of Major League Baseball's annual tradition to honor the U.S. Armed Forces on Armed Forces Day, which is observed on the third weekend in May. This tradition involves all MLB teams wearing camouflage-patterned caps, along with other camo-themed accessories, as a tribute to the sacrifices and service of military personnel. The camo hats feature custom patterns and team logos with military symbolism, and MLB donates 100% of the licensed royalties from the sale of these items to charities that support service members, veterans, and military families. This tradition began in 2019 as a way to respectfully honor the military community and has continued each year during this special weekend. The camo hats are not just a fashion statement but part of a meaningful effort by MLB to show appreciation and respect for the military through on-field appearances and charitable contributions.
