Today is our birthday!! Kinda.
It’s not a particularly joyous moment in Red Sox history, but October 16, 2003 is extremely significant in The Red Seat’s history.Sooooooo... Anyway...
There was some good stuff this season? Right? I think? Umm... let's see. The Yankees were also terrible! There's that. Uuhhh... what else... They were fun for half the season, Casas broke out, and the farm system is better? We heard that somewhere. But basically it was just kinda...eh.This season isn't technically over yet but can we talk about 2024, please? It's the 20th Anniversary of 2004!!?! You know, the one that broke the Curse of the Bambino?!? Well, fun fact - it's our 20th Anniversary, too! That's right kids, The Red Seat was birthed (ewww) 20 years ago and started selling stuff in the spring of that magical season.
We've got some fun stuff in the works, so stay tuned!
Announcements will flow pretty soon, so keep your eyes peeled. Whatever that means...Until then, how about some unrealistic free agent expectations and a new GM? And don't forget to get your kids' Halloween candy early so you can feed your feelings...

Emergency Help For Hawaii
Aloha. It may seem a little weird that a merch business based on the Boston Red Sox would be reaching out to you about this, but long before making Boston homebase, Hawaii was home.
Because of the fast moving wildfires in Maui earlier this week, Hawaii is in desperate need of help. The town of Lahaina, which was once the capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom, has been burned to the ground, leaving thousands homeless.
The kids over at The Chesterfield Suite have made it easy for us and put together a page with links to charitable organizations that you can donate to. (There is probably also a new design in the works that will benefit relief efforts, so be sure to sign up for their newsletter to learn more.)
Please take a quick sec to check out their link and consider making a donation. Maui is on a long road to recovery, but together, we can help to make an impact and restore some of what was lost.
Feel free to share that page with your friends, family, and anyone else who may be interested in extending their support.
OK! Thanks and we'll be back with our not so regularly scheduled emails, soon!
Mahalo,
Chris and Emily

🚨 CAUTION: Mother's Day Approaching 🚨
Mother's Day is fast approaching! Need something to go with those flowers you're going to pick up on the way to her house on Sunday? Order an archival art print by the end of day Wednesday for it to arrive on time, and earn your status as her favorite kid! These are digitally printed on 315gsm, 21mil, 100% cotton rag matte paper in 8" x 10", 11" x 14" and "16" x 20" sizes. Fancy! Frame is not included. Bonus for you: everything is on sale through Sunday!
In other news, we will be at Fenway Park a bunch this season. To celebrate, we put together CAUTION!, because safety before fashion, but also, safety AND fashion. It's an update to our original BE ALERT design from waaaaay back.
Sending love to all the Moms and Go Sox!

The reviews are in! Our new "Citgos" design is 🔥!
JK. No one has reviewed it yet cuz you're the first to see it! We do think it's pretty cool (hot?), so here it is. "Citgos", our latest addition to The Red Seat lineup.
Do you know someone who has a Ph.D. in abstract expressionism and pop art, and is also a sabermetrics nerd? Do you have a pal who spends time wandering around MoMA when they are in NYC for Red Sox/Yankees games?? Well, today is your lucky day! Citgos honors Boston's 2nd most beloved landmark, while also sending some love to Andy Warhol. You get it. It makes sense.
It's available now in Unisex, Women's and Youth sizes. It's also on a Hoodie AND you can get this on one of our newest additions to the roster, Artsy Fartsy archival wall art in 3 sizes! And, huge bonus: if the Red Sox suck this year, you can still wear and display these with pride! Win/Win.
OH. Also? Use the code ANDY at checkout for $5 off your order.
Tomorrow is opening day, kids! We will be there, so be sure to follow us on Instagram (and I guess Facebook, if you want). We'll be posting updates there!
Until then, GO SOX!!!

What team is undefeated so far in Spring Training?
The Red Sox are 8 wins and no losses. So what if the games don't count? They're the best in Florida and we're celebrating. So in honor of this very minor achievement, we've dubbed March, the month of Fenway South! Digging deep into a mid-century vibe, we've got our newest unisex shirt, Fenway South. It's as cool as Florida is flat.
And how about some artsy fartsy stuff for your walls? Fenway South is also available in archival art prints. These are digitally printed on 315gsm, 21mil, 100% cotton rag matte paper in 8" x 10", 11" x 14" and "16" x 20" sizes. Frame is not included.
Go Sox!
