Braves fans flock to buy Michael Harris II’s custom caps

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) — A long line of Atlanta Braves fans stood outside the Threads Clubhouse Store on Wednesday morning.

Each of them was waiting to snag custom baseball caps, designed by Braves centerfielder Michael Harris II.

All season long, Atlanta will release the limited-edition merchandise — called the Collab Collection — inspired by current and former Braves stars.

Destiny Ford drove from Paulding County to be the first one in line at The Battery.

“I’m excited for him to do this and put himself out there to the community,” she said. “I’ve been watching him since he first got called up. He’s amazing, we love him.”

The Collab Collection is only available only at Threads. First opened in 2023, the store offers player-inspired Braves gear along with fashion-forward styles.

This week’s collection includes three custom baseball caps designed by Harris II and his wife Esther.
