About Ball caps
Best buys on classy, trendy, sexy, sporty and stylish ball caps, a bit of history about the origin of ball caps, and helpful cleaning tips to remove sweat stains from ball caps. Here is a little known fact about the history of ball caps for you. The very first baseball hats were worn by the New York Knickerbockers on April 23, 1849. The first baseball hats were basically used to keep the sun out of their eyes while playing ball and these first ball caps were actually made from straw. A few years later the team started wearing caps made from fine merino wool which had a crown and a visor or "bill" attached (Epic Sports, 2019).
The Brooklyn Excelsiors wore the first button on top, rounded top baseball caps with a long peak in 1860. The brim of the hat "bill" was much shorter and floppier back then but this style ball cap became very popular by 1900. By 1940 latex rubber was added to the inside of the hat as a stiffening material which was the inspiration for today's modern day ball caps. The ball caps then were mostly designed with the baseball teams logo or mascot, and their team colors (Ball cap, 2019). See how to remove sweat stains from ball caps in the video below.
