Boston Red Sox 1955 MLB Authentic Wool Ballcap
THE AUTHENTIC ON-FIELD BALLCAP OF THE 1955 BOSTON RED SOX
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.
New rivalries were born, new traditions began, It was an important era for baseball that set the stage for many decades to come. But the Red Sox had a long history by then. They’d already won the World Series five times and traded Babe Ruth to the Yankees, so by 1955 they were in the midst of the “Curse of the Bambino” and were looking to end their slump.
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 the flat embroidery style typical of the time. This Rex Sox ballcap may look modern, Boston’s logos haven’t changed all that much since 1901, but the construction of it harkens back to the ‘50s with every stitch.
