You have to applaud the confidence of some baseball teams. As soon as a they win a division title (or wild card in some cases), there are the T-shirts waiting for them in the locker room announcing the accomplishment.
By contrast you have Ebbets Field Flannels. They don’t deal with the here-and-now. Rather, they specialize in “once upon a time.” I look forward to receiving their mailings. It’s almost like a museum catalog, with its colorful offerings of an historical nature. (I’ll even forgive that they also sell some non-baseball items.)
So many T-shirts (and caps and sweaters and jackets), so little time.
I spoke recently with EFF co-founder Jerry Cohen about the history and expansion of this unique company.

I love this EFF and one day hope to visit the store. I have some of their T-shirts and caps. Their caps are very comfortable and well-made.
A quick story: EFF posted a very short video on Twitter about a year ago. As the camera panned the store, I caught a glimpse of a Seattle Pilots cap the team never wore on the field. I called the store and asked about the cap. They still had it, and in my size. I wear it often and get a lot of questions from fans about where it got it. That one brief view on the video may be some of the best advertising EFF can get from a fan.
