AUTHENTIC WOOL BALLCAP HONORING THE 1920 DETROIT STARS

History: The Detroit Stars were charter members of the Negro National League in 1920, finishing second to the Chicago American Giants in the league’s inaugural season. The roster featured catcher Bruce Petway, whose defensive prowess was so renowned that he twice threw out Ty Cobb attempting to steal in an exhibition game. Outfielder Jimmy Lyons hit .379 that season, while left-handed pitcher Andy Cooper began a career that would eventually earn him a place in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Made from pinstriped wool broadcloth with a felt 'D' logo and finished with our signature green satin underbrim, this ballcap is inspired by the on-field hat worn by the Detroit Stars in 1920, the inaugural year of the Negro National League.
