Chicago Cubs Shop: Pinstripes vs Road Greys, Fitted Caps and Wrigley Field Gear

Chicago Cubs gear here comes through MLB Shop, the league's official store run with Fanatics. The Chicago Cubs section carries jerseys, New Era caps, T-shirts, hoodies, W flags and Wrigley Field souvenirs, alongside the same checkout, shipping and returns as every other club on the site.

Good Chicago Cubs orders turn on three things: which uniform you want, which jersey quality is worth paying for, and getting a cap size right the first time.

Home pinstripes, road grey or blue

The Chicago Cubs home jersey is white with blue pinstripes and the red-and-blue Cubs bullseye on the chest. It is the one most closely tied to Wrigley Field and the most popular with fans.

The road grey carries CHICAGO across the chest and is the choice for fans who follow the team on the road or simply prefer a cleaner look. The solid blue alternate is the most casual of the three and hides wear better.

The Chicago Cubs also have a City Connect design, which is a fashion-led take on the uniform rather than a traditional kit. It divides opinion, so look at photos of it being worn before buying.

Replica or stitched: what you are paying for

Nike's fan jerseys for the Chicago Cubs come in a printed replica version and a stitched Limited version, with the Authentic on-field jersey at the top. The replica is lighter and cheaper and fine for a day at the ballpark. The stitched version wears better and looks closer to what the players wear.

MLB Shop listings name the tier in the title. Read it, because the photos look almost identical and the price gap is large.

As with any team, a player jersey dates when that player leaves. A plain Chicago Cubs jersey, or a legend such as Ernie Banks, Ryne Sandberg or Anthony Rizzo from the 2016 World Series side, holds its appeal longer.

Sizing a Chicago Cubs cap

The cap is the most bought Chicago Cubs item and the most returned. New Era 59FIFTY fitted caps are sized by head circumference in eighths, from around 6 7/8 upward. Measure your head with a soft tape just above the ears and match it to the size chart.

If you cannot measure, buy an adjustable 9FORTY or a snapback. Adjustable styles are also the safe choice for gifts. Fitted caps look sharper but do not stretch much, and tried-on caps are often not accepted back.

Dressing for Wrigley Field

Wrigley Field sits close to Lake Michigan, and the wind makes April and late-September games far colder than the forecast suggests. A Chicago Cubs hoodie or pullover jacket over a jersey is worth packing even when the day starts warm.

In midsummer the opposite applies: day games in the bleachers are hot and sunny. A lighter T-shirt, a cap and sunglasses beat a heavy jersey there.

Flags and souvenirs

The white W flag, flown over Wrigley after every Chicago Cubs win, is one of the most recognisable souvenirs in baseball. The shop sells it in several sizes, from small car flags to full banners for a garden or a window.

Check the dimensions and material in the listing. Cheap nylon flags fade in sun; heavier fabric lasts through a season on a flagpole.

Chicago Cubs pennants, mini bats and signed memorabilia sit in the same section. For anything sold as autographed, check that it comes with authentication from MLB or a recognised authenticator before paying a premium.

Timing a Chicago Cubs order

Prices are highest in spring around Opening Day and during a playoff push. The better times to buy are the end of the season, Black Friday and the winter, when MLB Shop runs site-wide promotions and last season's styles are cleared.

Custom name-and-number jerseys are made to order and commonly final sale, so allow extra time and check the spelling before paying.

Where the Chicago Cubs savings are

CHICAGO CUBSshutout — 25% offSHOW COUPON CODE
CHICAGO CUBSCLUBHOUSE — 25% offSHOW COUPON CODE
CHICAGO CUBS39FS — free shippingSHOW COUPON CODE

The two 25% codes are the ones to try first on a Chicago Cubs jersey or jacket. MLB Shop rotates its codes, so if one is rejected, the other may still be live.

Percentage codes on MLB Shop often exclude Authentic jerseys, custom items and new releases, so apply them to the exact basket before assuming a saving.

Free shipping is most useful on a single cap or flag, where delivery would otherwise add a large share of the cost. It often needs a minimum spend, so check the threshold.

Codes do not usually combine, so compare the totals and keep the best one.

Common questions

Which Chicago Cubs jersey is most popular?

The white home pinstripes with the Cubs bullseye.

How do I choose a Chicago Cubs fitted cap size?

Measure your head with a soft tape and use the New Era size chart. Buy adjustable if unsure.

Is the Chicago Cubs replica jersey worth it?

For casual wear, yes. Stitched versions last longer and cost more.

Can I return a customised Chicago Cubs jersey?

Usually not, since it is made to order.
