The home jersey is inspired by the Chicago city flag and the club’s Hall of Famers. Over the years great players have played for the Cubs and the jersey pays homage to those baseball legends. Players like Ernie Banks, Frank Chance, Kiki Cuyler, Billy Williams, Lee Smith, Hack Wilson, and Greg Maddux have their names present.
When the Cubs won the 2016 World Series, they ended the biggest drought in American sports history, it took the Cubs a total of 108 years to win anotherchampionship. And we thought the Red Sox were cursed. Cubs fans have a lot to cheer about nowadays as the club has been competitive and has been to the postseason every year since their championship run in 2016.

The classic Wrigley Field flags on the neck.
On the neck, there is an old fashion baseball flag with the classic Chicago Cubs lettering. In Wrigley Field, you will find that there are team flags in this shape on the scoreboard and we placed a similar flag on the neck as a homage to the old ballpark.
Chicago Cubs Wrigley Field inspired Away Jersey

The away jersey pays homage to the iconic ballpark Wrigley Field. Built in 1914, the stadium is known for its ivy-covered brick outfield and the red marquee over the main entrance. A unique aspect of the stadium is that it is located in a residential area and has no parking lots and fans can watch the game from the rooftops of the apartment buildings facing theballpark. It’s not uncommon for home runs to fly as far as those buildings and fans on the roof to catch them. The jersey has the primary red color to honor thefamous marquee and the ivy bricks can be seen running along the jersey.
The Wrigley Field ivy and brick are present on the jersey.
The ivy bricks are famous because when the season starts the vines have not leafed out and as the season progresses the ivy grows out making it a unique site. The ivy was placed in 1937 as a way to make the stadium more lovely to look at. While in theMLB the rules are that the outfields are padded, the Cubs get an exception because they were “grandfathered” into this rule.
The Wrigley Field flags are present on the neck.
On the neck, there is a “We Love Wrigley” lettering in the marque of the stadium. The marquee has been around for over 80 years and it was painted red in the mid 1960’s. The electronic message board was added in the 1980s and the rest of the banners have been placed over the past few seasons. The Cubs are known as “the North Siders”, a reference to the location of Wrigley Field within the city of Chicago, and the White Sox, whose home field is located on the South Side are the “The South Siders”.
