League: Independent Team
History: The 25th Infantry Regiment was a famous Black regiment better known as the Buffalo Soldiers. The team was formed in 1894 after a game between an interracial infantry team and an all-Black cavalry team in Missoula, Montana. The team reached the height of its fame when the regiment was stationed at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii during World War I. The squad during that time was led by Wilbur "Cap" Rogan, and included four players who later went on to play for the Kansas City Monarchs.

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.
