New York Cubans 1947 Authentic Wool Ballcap

Description

THE EXACT LOGO OF ONE OF NYC’S GREAT NEGRO LEAGUE TEAMS History: The Cubans can trace their roots to two teams called the Cuban Stars (East and West). Owner Alex Pompez established his club in the Negro National League in 1935 and stocked it with an international assortment of mostly players from Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. Home games were often played at the Polo Grounds or Yankee Stadium. Standout players for the Cubans include Luis Tiant, Sr., Minnie Minoso, and the great Cuban star Martin Dihigo. This is an authentic reproduction of the original 1947 New York Cubans ballcap, hand-sewn from genuine wool baseball cloth and finished with a felt “NY” logo. 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.
