A Legacy Worn on Your Head: The ’47 Brand Story

In 1947, twin brothers Arthur and Henry D’Angelo sold sports memorabilia outside Fenway Park. With grit, hustle, and a love for the game, they built ’47 into a brand now licensed by the MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL.

This isn’t just sports merchandise. It’s a Boston-born blend of fan loyalty and fashion edge, worn by millions and still family-owned.
