History: The Leones (or "Reds") were, along with their "eternal rival" Almendares ("blues"), made up the two top teams in the Cuban League for decades, as which of these two teams you favored said a lot about who you were in Cuba. The Leones' slogan was "La leña roja tarda pero llega", or "the red beating may be late, but it's inevitable".

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.
