Baseball Hat Evolution: 19th Century Invention


Baseball hats, as we know them today, evolved from earlier versions of flat-brimmed caps that were part of baseball uniforms in the mid-19th century. The modern baseball cap, with its rounded crown and stiff bill projecting in front, was first popularized in the late 19th century by the Brooklyn Excelsiors.

This style of cap has since become a ubiquitous fashion item, worn in both casual and formal settings and adopted in various sports beyond baseball. Always changing colors and styles to better suit the wearers as well as express their personality.
