Birmingham Black Barons 1948 Authentic Wool Ballcap

Description

AN AUTHENTIC REPLICA OF BIRMINGHAM’S BBB LOGO History: The Birmingham Black Barons joined the original Negro National League in 1928. After that circuit's demise they became charter members of the Negro American League. In 1948 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. It’s a genuine replica, made with period-correct wool broadcloth and finished with felt “BBB” on the crown. In partnership with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum (NLBM), we are proud to offer this authentic wool ballcap. A portion of proceeds from this product will support the NLBM in Kansas City.
