Almost immediately after the announcement that Volpe will start the season with the big club, fans turned to the internet to find out how to get their hands on his jersey and what number he will wear. The potential star will wear the number 77, hoping to make it as iconic as Derek Jeter's number 2.

In an interview with the New York Post, while discussing the reason behind his jersey number, Volpe said:

“Well, my grandfather, his favorite player, is Mickey Mantle. When I was little, ready to pick a number, I figured that’d be the best one to choose. Yeah. I just showed up, and I walked in. That was what was waiting for me. It’s pretty cool.”

For fans hoping to wear a Volpe number 77 jersey on Opening Day, his jersey is not currently available. However, fans are currently able to order custom jerseys with his name and number on the back. Currently, on mlbshop.com, a custom New York Yankees jersey costs $149.99 plus taxes and shipping. Right now, the site offers free shipping on all orders over $24.99.

Alternatives for purchasing an Anthony Volpe jersey

There is a cheaper alternative for fans who don't care if the jersey is official MLB merchandise. On the website DHGate.com, fans are able to order custom knock-off jerseys for a fraction of the price. Depending on the shipper one orders their New York Yankees from, the jersey could cost as low as $16.99 USD plus shipping.

However, if some go the DHGate route, the jersey quality is not the same standard as the official MLB merchandise, and shipping dates are inconsistent. That being said, the jerseys are a very suitable alternative for the price.
