I have a modest sports team cap collection. I gathered most of them for this picture. It's probably about 80+% of what I have.
My wife "appropriated" a few early on in our courtship/marriage. Funny story. One cold Chicago day we were crossing the bridge from Millennium Park to the Modern Wing of the Art Institute when some guy yelled out, "Keep the Dodgers in Brooklyn!" You can guess which of "her" hats she was wearing. Maybe some day I'll get another for myself.The Nichols Bridge
I can't find a single photograph (aside from a couple of ads) that show this cap with a red brim. Check out these cards.
American Needle is no fly by night operation. They couldn't have made such a big mistake, right? What am I missing? Does anyone know if or when the Expos wore a cap like this? These days they make caps in any number of variations, from camo to all black, Spring Training to Warm-up. I don't think they were doing that in the 1980's.
Any help would be appreciated.
As always thanks for stopping by.
Dressed To The Nines doesn't show any cap like this. It's also blue brim and red side panels, not the other way around. (The NHL would now call this a "Reverse Retro" cap.)
ReplyDeleteIf you ask on Uni Watch, well, if no one there has seen the cap before, you can bet it didn't exist.
See. I didn't even register the side panels. Btw Gotta love "reverse retro". Thanks.
DeleteNice hat collection. I used to collect hats too, but the only time I ever wear one is when I attend a ballgame.
ReplyDeleteI wear them for 3 seasons. My only problem is that many of the fitted size 7s no longer fit my fat head.
DeleteThat's a great Seattle Pilots cap!
ReplyDeleteThere seem to be quite a few variations of that one. Mine has some big braids.
DeleteThat's a lot of hats!
ReplyDeleteI've accumulated them over a long time. I'm sure other guys have many more.
DeleteNice stuff. Thanks for reminding me, I have always wanted an Expos cap!
ReplyDeleteIt's still one of my favorites.
