Sportiqe, an athleticwear brand, has launched a collaboration with the New York Yankees that incorporates Billy Joel’s music and imagery. The collection features T-shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies that blend Joel’s lyrics with Yankees branding and logos.
The collection prominently features the phrase “New York State of Mind,” a reference to one of Joel’s well-known songs, printed across various pieces including crewneck sweatshirts and a unisex hoodie. Each item displays the navy blue Yankees logo. Additionally, the line includes a vintage-inspired T-shirt commemorating Joel’s 1990 concert performances at Yankee Stadium, which were later released as a bestselling live album.
Joel, a Bronx native, has maintained connections to New York baseball throughout his career spanning multiple decades. While the Yankees collaboration highlights his ties to the franchise, Joel has historically been more closely associated with the Mets, having performed at Shea Stadium in 2008 and headlined the venue’s final concert. He has also performed the national anthem for Mets games during significant postseason events.
The merchandise collection is priced between $52 and $109, with women’s sizes ranging from small to XL and unisex sizing from XS to 3XL. Sportiqe has also created a separate Mets-inspired collection featuring Joel imagery, including a vintage T-shirt referencing his 2008 Shea Stadium performance. The Yankees currently hold the first wild-card position in the American League as the postseason approaches.
