A TRIBUTE TO THE ‘BBB’ LOGO WORN BY THE BIRMINGHAM BLACK BARONS

History: Led by the incredible talents of star player Satchel Paige, the Birmingham Black Barons won the ‘second half’ pennant in 1927 before losing the Negro National League title to the Chicago American Giants. The team bounced around different leagues before becoming full members of the Negro American League in 1945, and three years later they defeated the Monarchs for the pennant with a 15 year-old Willie Mays in the outfield.

To celebrate the start of the Say Hey Kid’s career and a legendary baseball team, we reproduced the on-field ballcap worn by the pennant-winning squad from 1948, made with cotton twill and finished with felt ‘BBB’ on the crown.
