White baseball cap with Yankee logo on front and Orange block S on the sideEveryone who purchases a ticket and attends the game will receive an exclusive, New York Yankees/Syracuse University-branded baseball cap. The white cap features an Orange Block S on the side and the iconic, Yankees bat and top hat logo, designed by Henry Alonzo "Lon" Keller '29 on the front (photo on right).

In the mid-1940s, the Yankees hired Keller to create a logo that would help the team advertise to fans after the war. Keller was an accomplished artist and designer whose work appeared on thousands of program covers for sporting events. As a result of his success, he became known as the "Norman Rockwell of Sports" and was inducted into the New York Sports Museum and Hall of Fame in 1991.
