The Sea Dogs become the Maine Lobster Bakes on August 23, 2024!
Lobstering is one of Maine’s oldest and largest industries. Today Maine produces over 90% of the nation's lobsters with over 100 million pounds harvested annually. Lobster Bakes are an old-fashioned New England tradition inspired by an ancient indigenous custom of cooking clams and lobsters in sand pits. The traditional Maine Lobster Bake includes lobster, clams, corn on the cob, potatoes, and blueberry cake. The food is traditionally cooked by steaming the ingredients over layers of seaweed in a pit oven.
The primary logo on this New Era 59FIFTY Fitted Cap features a crustacean holding a baseball bat sitting in a pot surrounded by other items found in a lobster bake including clams, corn, and potatoes. The logo, artwork, and jersey were created by Ted Seavey from Seaboard Studios.
The Portland Sea Dogs is the Double-A MiLB affiliate of the MLB Boston Red Sox.
