EFF Founder Jerry Cohen grew up fascinated with sports emblems and uniforms. As a youngster, he would purchase baseball cards to see the uniform changes and colors rather than for the players. Fast-forward to 1987, when he was trying to find a vintage flannel baseball jersey to wear onstage with his rock & roll band back in. Not satisfied with what was available, he became a bit obsessed, and eventually tracked down some old wool baseball flannel and had a few shirts made for himself. When people literally wanted to buy the shirt off his back, Ebbets Field Flannels was born. Focusing on non-major league history such as the Negro leagues and the pre-1958 Pacific Coast League gave the Company a unique twist, and brought relatively unknown baseball history to the public at large.

By 1990, Lisa Cooper had joined Jerry to keep things organized and running. That's when Sports Illustrated magazine ran a full page article about Ebbets Field. Celebrities like Spike Lee and David Letterman were soon among the growing customer base. Over twenty years and thousands of flannels later, EFF is still making vintage jerseys, jackets and caps in America the old fashioned way, using original materials and manufacturing techniques. Our shirts have been in movies, TV shows and plays, and have appeared on major league diamonds in numerous "Turn Back The Clock" games. One of our proudest moments was closing day of the old Yankee Stadium, when EFF uniforms adorned Yankee legends like Yogi Berra and Whitey Ford.

Ebbest Field Flannels today continues to be run by its original founders, and remains committed to bringing the quality, beauty and craftsmanship of mid-Century American athletic garments to a 21st Century public.
