Joined today by by founder and CEO of Ebbets Field Flannels, Jerry Cohen. Jerry and I talk about growing up in Brooklyn, his childhood, and where his fascination and obsession with jerseys/hats came from. Jerry reminisces about performing in a rock band, making some jerseys and how he parlayed that into starting the company in 1988. We hear why he started off hand sewing jerseys from special wool in painstaking detail because he wanted his products to be truly authentic. Jerry looks back on not having a business model when he started and the 2 or 3 moments when he really knew he had something special. We discuss how his clientele has changed over the years, how he picks what team or league to design next and how his products are rotated and discontinued. I ask Jerry about any beef with the other vintage sporting line "Mitchell and Ness", why he hasn't produced NBA jerseys and what would be some of his dream designs. We hear about the early hurdles of desinging uniforms from black and white photos from the Hall of Fame, why the MLS won't let him produce some kits and sadly why his flagship store in Seattle closed down. We hear about best-selling merch, working on the set of "42", and donating money to the Negro League Museum. From the Joplin Miners to the Bustin' Babes and even the San Francisco Seals, Ebbets Field Flannels is hands down the best in the game, and Jerry is behind it all.

On this very special edition of the show, Matt talks with Jerry Cohen, the founder of Ebbets Field Flannels, to discuss everything about what makes a great uniform, why sports history matters, and how EFF is excelling in the midst of the pandemic. Born in 1958, Jerry grew up in Brooklyn, NY learning about the game of baseball from his father who witnessed all-time greats play for the beloved Dodgers before switching to the New York Mets in the early 1960s. Soon, Jerry became infatuated with America's Pastime but later moved to the West Coast to kickstart his new career as a musician. It wasn't long until he started the company Ebbets Field Flannels in 1988 as a way to bring back some of his favorite uniforms from Negro League and old minor league teams before the 1970s. Since 1988, EFF has been featured in Sports Illustrated and has taken off into becoming one of the most authentic and has expanded into producing NFL jackets and utility shirts, notable soccer teams from the mid-1970s, and ball-caps that feature a wide variety of old colleges, soccer clubs, and the previously mentioned Negro League and minor league squads. Hope you all enjoy the interview!

A guilty pleasure this week, as we go deep into the story of iconic vintage sportswear retailer Ebbets Field Flannels - the world leader in researching, sourcing and creating 100% authentic athletic apparel - with its owner and founder Jerry Cohen. From the EFF website: "Jerry Cohen grew up in Brooklyn, not far from where the fabled stadium once stood in Flatbush. Jerry listened to his father tell stories of the colorful players of another era. He was proud of the fiercely independent neighborhood. And the Brooklyn Dodgers' heritage as the first major league team to integrate professional baseball in 1947, with the addition of Hall-of-Famer Jackie Robinson. "Jerry was fascinated with sports emblems and uniforms. As a youngster, he would purchase baseball cards to see the uniform changes and colors rather than for the players. Fast-forward to 1987, when he was trying to find a vintage flannel baseball jersey to wear onstage with his rock & roll band. "Not satisfied with the 'polyester era' look and designs, Jerry became a bit obsessed, and eventually tracked down some old wool baseball flannel and had a few shirts made for himself. When people literally wanted to buy the shirt off his back, Ebbets Field Flannels was born. Focusing on non-major league history such as the Negro leagues and the pre-1958 Pacific Coast League gave the company a unique twist, and brought relatively unknown baseball history to the public at large. "Over 30 years and thousands of flannels later, EFF is still making vintage jerseys, jackets and caps in America the old fashioned way, using original materials and manufacturing techniques. "Each limited edition garment is handmade from the world's largest inventory of 100% authentic, historical fabrics. All jerseys, ballcaps, jackets and sweaters are cut, sewn, or knit, from original fabrics and yarns. "We don't follow the latest fads. Instead, we're fanatics when it comes to historical accuracy, backed by documented research. We weave that local color and heritage into an array of products as timeless as the game itself."

Skip Ahead 0:49: Global issues have become more salient in both public political discourse but also in political theory. You've made an important contribution with your book, Global Justice and Avant-Garde Political Agency (OUP 2011). I'd like to start by asking you some questions about your argument. I'm interested particularly in your contribution to a conversation that sees the role of the state as being outdated by current political problems and the evolution of political interactions at the international level. There's one strong argument in the global justice literature that argues that states are obsolete forms of political association, and they're inadequate at solving the problems of global injustice we're confronted with. You argue against this position and defend statist cosmopolitanism. 6:27: How does your position in practice differ from a cosmopolitan position? Ultimately, you say the goal is to realize these global egalitarian principles. 7:26: Would you say that being a statist cosmopolitan makes a difference in terms of the time it might take to realise cosmopolitan justice? Or would you rather say that without states we couldn't even get to the point where we realise cosmopolitan justice? 9:22: And I think this kind of argument reflects your particular view of the right way of doing political theory…. So how is your account of statist cosmopolitanism related to your view about the role of political theory? 14:00: It seems that you have a view of the political theorist as an agent with a distinctive contribution to political evaluation, political criticism and political debate where on the one hand the political theorist can provide some general principles or end points for reform but at the same time engage with the question of, how do we get from where we are to the principles we want to realise? … In your book with Jonathan White called The Meaning of Partisanship (OUP 2016), you discuss the foundational role parties play and ought to continue to play in modern democratic life. Can you tell us why you think parties are so irreplaceable? 20:39: Do you think there are costs associated with organising our political life around parties? 23:39: I think you take this point about public engagement as a political theorist very seriously as well. In your more recent work you've become more interested in reaching a wider audience as a political theorist and so you write in the popular press about contemporary issues in the UK and Europe. And I'm really interested in what your experience with that has been like. What are you learning as a political theorist? 25:57: One of the themes of your public engagement is the need to develop an alternative to liberalism. Can you tell us where contemporary liberalism fits in your view? 32:45: I think it's very important to develop alternative visions of political society, both to test whether and why we value the kind of society we do, but also understand whether there are things wrong with it and change it. And so this kind of project I think is very valuable. It's clear that there are problems within liberal society today that perhaps illustrate the tensions you talk about. And I think many self-professed liberals would say that these problems exist. What their reaction to these problems would be is not to say liberalism should die but to see those tensions as perhaps inherent in liberalism and try to work them out also within liberalism. It's a much more gradualist approach to political reform. It sounds from the way you talk about recuperating this criticism of commercial society that you want to reject this gradualism… why move all the way to socialism as opposed to moving within the confines of existing political institutions? 37:37: Let's pursue this question of the socialist alternative further. What would you say would characterise, not just at the level of principles, but in terms of actual institutions, what would be different in this alternative political world? 41:02: Socialism comes with a very distinctive vision, not just an end point in principles but also institutions and how they would be differently organised than current ones. 42:34: It sounds to me like you're not persuaded by some socialist scepticism—and I mean scepticism in the following way –Jerry Cohen for example, who sees socialism as the right moral ideal, the best justified vision of political society… but he's worried that we lack the institutional technology to realise that vision. Someone like Jerry Cohen became disenchanted particularly after the fall of communism that we might just lack the institutions to channel these radical forms of representation.

Last week we talked about how everyone has a dream customer they want to do work with, but to get the attention of those customers usually you have to start small.  This weeks episode  builds on that by discussing what to do when you do land a big customer, and  how to establish yourself as an honest, credible person in the eyes of those customers by being transparent with them.  I understand the idea of being open and vulnerable  may make you nervous, but showing the customer you have nothing to hide will create a strong foundation of trust. When you earn trust in any relationship,  cool things happen.  Mentioned in the Episode  Hufft - Hufft is a design shop that creates meaningful spaces and objects.

Rättvisa, jämlikhet och resursfördelning är centrala i den politiska filosofen GA ”Jerry” Cohens teoretiska arv. Med verk som "If You're an Egalitarian, How Come You're So Rich?" blåste han in ny luft och en gnutta kontrovers i de rättviseanknutna tankeväxlingarna, innanför som utanför de akademiska fästena. Han var medgrundare och medlem i sällskapet Septembergruppen, som bestod av samhällsforskare med intresse för analytisk marxism. Om man vill höra Cohen utveckla sina idéer själv, så tipsar Aning om att han innan sin bortgång medverkade i podcasten Philosophy Bites.

Jerry Cohen’s father opened Economy Candy on Rivington Street on Manhattan’s Lower East Side back in 1937, and it remains a paradise for anyone with an appreciation for brightly packaged and affordable confections. In it, one finds shelves overflowing with every candy you can imagine, from Bonomo’s Banana Turkish Taffy to Sifer’s Valomilk. The store also carries seasonal treats, which, at this time of year, means neon-yellow marshmallow Peeps within arm’s reach of packaged Seder mints. On this week’s podcast, Cohen takes unabashed sweet tooth Blake Eskin on a tour of his Passover candy selection. Along the way, they discuss the joys of a non-packaged fruit slice and the future of the candy business and make a brief detour into the forbidden land of chocolate bunnies.
