'47: licensed sports headwear and apparel

Products

'47 sells licensed sports headwear and apparel. It is based in Westwood, Massachusetts, and holds licenses with Major League Baseball, the NFL, the NBA, Major League Soccer, NASCAR and college teams, according to Wikipedia.

History and ownership

Twin brothers Arthur and Henry D'Angelo started the business in Boston in 1947, selling merchandise outside Fenway Park. It was called Twins Enterprises for most of its history and still runs the Red Sox Team Store across from the ballpark. New Era announced a deal to buy '47 in June 2024 and completed it in August 2024.

Blank hats

In my video on golf hat blanks, I listed '47 as one of four blank hat manufacturers and pointed to its rope hat. Wholesale inquiries go through the '47 wholesale page.
