League: Eastern Colored League
History: The roots of the Brooklyn Royal Giants go back to 1905, the pre-league era of Black baseball. They were a founding member of the second major league – the Eastern Colored League – in 1923. Among the greats that put on the Brooklyn uniform were Dick “Cannonball” Reading, “Smokey” Joe Williams, and John Henry “Pop” Lloyd. This short-visor cap is made from some original pinstripe baseball fabric we have had in our archives for many years.

Ballcaps
Our caps faithfully replicate historic professional baseball caps from 1900 to 1970 and fit differently than modern caps. Try wrapping a piece of string around your head where a cap would naturally fit and then measure the string to find your size.

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.
