We're bringing back the iconic Albuquerque Dukes name with vintage and retro-inspired memorabilia for baseball lovers and nostalgia fans alike.
Long before the Isotopes, the city of Albuquerque fielded its first ever baseball team in 1915 -- the Dukes. A triple-A powerhouse in the ‘70s, the team went on to win eight Pacific Coast League championships and, over the years, produced greats like Mike Piazza and Paul Konerko before packing up their bags in 2000. But at our store, we're keeping the Dukes’ name alive and diving into the team's rich history, bringing back their iconic apparel along with our own retro-inspired designs. Whether you're a Duke City lifer who caught games at the old stadium, a vintage baseball fanatic, or just a lover of America's Pastime, you’ll find something special waiting at our store.
