CHICAGO, IL - The 1983 ‘Winning Ugly’ caps, the green jerseys and ‘Soxside Irish’ shirts will have some company when it comes to the latest style for Chicago White Sox fans.

South Side hip-hop artist Chance the Rapper has released a redesign of the White Sox cap and will have 2,000 available in black, blue and gray beginning at 11 a.m. Friday, the day of the team’s home opener against the Cleveland Indians.

In a partnership with hat maker New Era, the rapper unveiled the designs in a video posted to his website on Wednesday. The 9FIFTY snapback style caps are going for $40-$45 and can be purchased at the White Sox home opener, or online at ShopNewEraCap.com, ChanceRaps.com or ShopMLB.com.
