History: Although they represented the southern coastal city of Cienfuegos, the Elefantes actually played home games in Havana.

Their slogan, " El pase del elefante es lento pero aplastante," translates as "the step of the elephant is slow, but crushing."

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.
