MILWAUKEE BRAVES 1953 AUTHENTIC WOOL BALLCAP

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 Braves moved from Boston to Milwaukee in 1953, where they stayed for thirteen years before departing again for Atlanta. The ‘53 season marked the first time major league baseball had been played in Wisconsin since 1901, and by the end of their playoff run they finished second in the National League behind the Brooklyn Dodgers.

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 period-correct emblem techniques typical of the time.
