History: The BMT was the successor the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, who went bankrupt in 1923. In 1940 the BMT subway and elevated lines were amalgamated with the city’s Independent lines and the previously privately-owned IRT to create the modern New York City subway system. We’ve created a BMT cap to go along with our IRT and IND hats.

Measuring Guide

We offer three kinds of ballcap visors:

Pre-1940 ballcaps were made with soft visors so players could fold them up and put them in their back pockets. Later visors were done in standard (stiff visor) or short (also a soft visor). Check the product details to see which type of visor each cap has.
