History: The Lions shared Empire Pool with the Wembley Monarchs. In 1937 the Lions were invited to Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto to compete for the world amateur championship. They lost the final in overtime to the Sudbury Tigers. They won the British League championship in 1957. After the collapse of the British League in 1960, the Lions continued to play friendly matches until 1968.

Ballcaps
Our caps faithfully replicate historic professional baseball caps from 1900 to 1970 and fit differently than modern caps. Try wrapping a piece of string around your head where a cap would naturally fit and then measure the string to find your size.

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.
