Kith and their hometown team, the New York Yankees, in partnership with Major League Baseball, debut a collaborative collection of apparel, accessories, and equipment celebrating the Yankees’ storied World Series legacy.

The campaign is fronted by iconic actor Jason Alexander.

As a lead-in to the main release on Friday, September 26, Kith and the Yankees partnered with Victus, the official bat supplier of Major League Baseball, to create a one-of-a-kind crystal-encrusted collectible bat for the September 22 Monday Program™. The piece was handcrafted over three days with 8,750 Montana Blue and Clear stones in six different sizes, and comes with an acrylic display case, authenticity card, and sticker. The Monday Program™ lineup also includes two Heart of the Hide mitts designed with Rawlings featuring all-over Kith Monogram treatments, two co-branded baseballs with collectors’ cubes and custom packaging, and additional bats with Yankees logos and engraved World Series dedications. Kith also reprises its collaboration with Yellowpop on a custom LED sign featuring Yankees artwork.

The apparel collection pays tribute to the Yankees’ World Series victories, combining genuine MLB artwork with retro-inspired Cooperstown Collection logos. Key pieces include updated Kith Classics silhouettes such as the Coaches Jacket, Pinehurst Sherpa Jacket, and Nelson Crewneck, alongside novelty outerwear like the Corduroy Avery Bomber Jacket, Brixton Shirt Jacket, and Wyona Full-Zip. Hoodies, pullovers, and sweatshirts — slightly oversized for layering — round out the lineup.

Continuing its partnership with AVIREX, Kith reimagines the iconic Flight Jacket with Yankees branding. Three versions will be offered: one with all-over patchwork and embroidery commemorating each championship year, one in Kith’s Nocturnal hue with python accents, and another in team colors with genuine MLB artwork.

Accessories include co-branded New Era headwear, highlighted by the Melton Wool 59FIFTY, 9FORTY Snapback, and beanie silhouettes. The K40 Duffle returns in a Yankees edition, alongside leather cap patches with clip attachments, premium embroidered cotton socks, and lifestyle items like acrylic rugs, a Kith Backgammon Set with Yankees detailing, commemorative license plates, tire caps, and other collectibles.

The collection also extends to footwear, as Ronnie Fieg and Clarks Originals reprise their 8th St partnership with the Yankees on two tri-branded Sunderland silhouettes. Offered in Sand and Navy premium Kennet grain leather, the shoes feature embossed Yankees logos on the vamp, co-branded fobs, and gold foil detailing from Kith, Clarks Originals, and the Yankees.

The Kith for New York Yankees collection launches globally at 11AM EST/CET on Friday, September 26, at select Kith shops, Kith.com, CA.Kith.com, EU.Kith.com, and the Kith App.

Jason Alexander Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson

Wow! Just wow! I’ve loved Jason Alexander since Pretty Woman, and in everything, I’ve seen him in since. He somehow managed to exceed my high hopes and great expectations as a human, a storyteller… a mensch! Such a huge fan, I was anxious that I’d muck it up being in awe. His smile as soon as he entered the Zoom room set me at ease, and his open willingness allowed the conversation to never cease flowing. 

It would be impossible to cite a favorite “part.” Each story a gem. From his family of NOVIDS (love it!) how they coped, continue to, how he met his wife, adorable story, the secret of their 40-year martial success as Jason has come to see it––magnificent, I’ve replayed that part thrice already, his parents, how he shifted his dream from magic to show biz, fabulous story there, landing his first Broadway show at 19, Sondheim and Hal Prince, please! The Rink with Liza and Chita, an inspiring tale to take forward, a terrific story about scoring Pretty Woman with a little help from a movie star new friend, and getting Seinfeld, amidst fierce competition. Creating George, changing George, Larry David, Jerry, Julia, and Michael, the group dynamic, Curb, and then we jumped to Jason’s upcoming podcast, Really No Really, with Peter Tilden, dropping in February on iHeart and then available wherever you get your podcasts. There was so much more to discuss but the time was flying. Jason agreed to come back and offered to in February to coincide with the drop. Gonna hold him to it. 

Hours later, I still haven’t stopped smiling. I got so much out of this time with Jason, much food for thought, and takeaways all over the place. The topper is that it was such exuberant fun. As much as I admired and adored Jason before, it’s that much more having spent this time in his great company. 

This is a gift to us. Happy Festivus!

Be still my thespian heart! Today, Live @5 Jason Alexander!

It took years, and a few false hopes, but thanks to the wonderful Nancy Allen, who lent me a tenor, her good friend, Jason Alexander, will be joining us today. Responsible for more laughs than I could ever possibly count… the Emmy and Tony winner, who kills it every time on stages, and screens big and small, will sit down with us and make a long-held dream come true. 

Of course, there’s Jason’s George Costanza on Seinfeld, for which he was nominated for 7 Emmys, 4 Golden Globe Awards, and won a SAG Award, Pretty Woman, Friends, Curb, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Young Sheldon, Everybody Hates Chris, Duckman, Dream On, another Emmy nomination there and numerous other screen roles. He won the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Original Song for The Bad Guys on Brainwashed By Toons just 2 years ago. Multi-talented, please! Tony Winner for Jerome Robbins’ Broadway, he also starred on Broadway in Merrily We Roll Along, The Rink, and Broadway Bound, to name but a few, and The Producers in LA, opposite Martin Short. So much more theatre to discuss and explore.

I’m beside myself. I’ll need two chairs for me, today. CANNOT WAIT for the fun! I adore him. Good thing its Zoom or I’d be pinching him and me for an hour.
