For us, the fact that the baseball season is kicking off in Australia this year is odd to say the least. Yes, we realize that baseball is an international sport, but there is just something about America’s Pastime opening up anywhere but here that rubs us the wrong way. Regardless, we’re pretty excited that the season is here, and now it’s time to break out the MLB Canvas Club Belts from Vineyard Vines. The feature below originally ran on March 31, 2011.
Opening Day is somewhat of an unofficial holiday here at Bows & Boats. Sure, Spring Training has been a small help in giving us our baseball fix, but come this afternoon the games will actually matter. While baseball might not be as fast paced as a basketball or football game, there isn’t much better than spending an afternoon, or evening, at the ballpark with friends and family. Of course, you are going to want to show your support for your favorite team, but if you are looking for something that it is a bit less obvious than a jersey or hat, take a look at the MLB Canvas Club Belts by Vineyard Vines.
No matter who your favorite team is, Vineyard Vines has you covered. With belts for all 30 MLB teams, the gang from Martha’s Vineyard has turned out a group of belts that will allow you to show your allegiance without having to dig that old jersey out of the back of your closet. Each belt is made of high quality canvas webbing that is paired with an Italian leather tab that features a stamped Vineyard Vines whale and brass buckle. For some teams, Baltimore for example, Vineyard Vines has chosen to use an alternate logo of sorts, but for the most part the belts feature the most well-known team marks. As of now, everyone is tied for first, and dreams of a World Series trophy are alive and well in cities across the country (and in Toronto). To say that we are eagerly awaiting that first crack of the bat would be an understatement. Enjoy the season!
