Summary
- Mero collaborated with Lids on a new hat collection.
- The hats celebrate the Águilas Cibaeñas baseball team.
- Collection ranges from $54.99 to $69.99 in price.
Joel Martínez, known as The Kid Mero, has released a new collection of three baseball hats in collaboration with Lids. This collection pays homage to the Águilas Cibaeñas, a prominent franchise in the Dominican Republic's winter baseball league (LIDOM). The hats, priced between $54.99 and $69.99, are designed in the 59FIFTY silhouette and incorporate Mero's personal fandom and artistic style.
The collection debuted on October 16, 2026, coinciding with the start of LIDOM's 2026-27 season. Mero's passion for the Águilas Cibaeñas is described as a deeply inherited part of his Dominican heritage, a sentiment he aims to share through these designs.
Each hat in the collection offers a unique tribute to the team's legacy. One features "AGUILAS" with "RECOJAN" in Mero's graffiti style, another showcases an original 1952 Águilas logo, and the third highlights the team's 22 LIDOM championships. Mero intended for the designs to evoke nostalgia and connection for fellow fans.
Lids saw the collaboration as a natural extension, building on the energy from the World Baseball Classic and the popularity of Dominican baseball merchandise. Mero emphasized that the designs offer subtle nods to Dominican culture, acting as conversation starters and expressions of identity for those in the know.
