History: The Seals joined the WHL for the 1961-62 season, adopting the name of San Francisco’s former Pacific Coast League baseball team. They played home games at the Cow Palace, which had to have ice installed to accommodate the new team. The Seals won back-to-back Lester Patrick Cups in 1962 and 1963. In a rare instance of a minor league team “graduating” to the majors, the Seals franchise was added to the NHL in the 1967 expansion, though their home ice was moved to the Oakland Coliseum.

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.
