THE AUTHENTIC ON-FIELD BALLCAP OF THE 1961 LOS ANGELES ANGELS

History: Between 1953 and 1963, during what came to be known as the “Decade of Change” in baseball, six teams moved to new cities and four brand new ballclubs joined the majors.

The Los Angeles Angels were founded in 1961 as one of the MLB's first two expansion teams. They played their inaugural season in LA’s own Wrigley Field, but a year later they moved into Dodger Stadium and shared it with the ballpark’s namesake team — though the Angels called the park ‘Chavez Ravine’ instead.

Ebbets teamed up with Mitchell & Ness to create the Decade of Change Collection, honoring the era with period-accurate ballcaps like this one — handmade in the U.S.A. from genuine wool broadcloth and featuring the flat embroidery style typical of the time. The interlocking LA logo was worn from the team’s inception until 1964, and the halo around the hat was worn until 1970 when they incorporated it into the logo.
