THE AUTHENTIC ON-FIELD BALLCAP OF THE 1963 KANSAS CITY ATHLETICS

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 Athletics moved from Philadelphia to Kansas City in 1955, and twelve years later would relocate again to Oakland, but it was in ‘63 that the A’s first premiered their green and gold colors. With a white KC on a Kelly green background, this is the cap worn by Satchel Paige when he made his final MLB appearance two years later at the age of 59 — a record that stands to this day.

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.
