Just heard back from my inside source on the Astros; the team-issued caps will most likely be obtainable in September. Caps worn by a player will be bundled with their respective jersey, unused team issued caps will be sold individually. He told me to keep in touch and he will help me get caps in my size when they become available.

I've obtained my prior Astros TBTC hats from the team in the past. The guys who runs the game used stuff is a class act.

I received this in the mail today. Unfortunately it's Chinese made, but it's not to bad compared to some of the other Chinese made caps I've seen. I was surprised it wasn't USA made since the other TBTC caps this year have been.

Is this still available somewhere? I was on vacation when Lids had them and I missed it.

The Giants caps are supposed to show up at Hat Club sometime soon. Whatever happened to the 70s Tigers caps?

They were offered to retailers, let's keep in mind that outside of Lids the Rays and Giants hats haven't shown up nor have the 'Senationals'. NE's focus. time and energy has been in the ASG and launching the NFL on fields.

Let's also not forget that the Angels TBTC worn in May just showed up and the Earth Day Rays from April showed up in late June.

7/21 in KC royals host Twins and both teams will be wearing Negro League unis....anybody know any word on hats for sale?


Negro League caps are made almost exclusively by a company called California Custom Caps. The teams *might* have them in their team stores at the ballpark, but you should call them and find out.


Monarchs cap was New Era though Smile

Those were for a Royals uniform that got scraped. I forget why. They are not like any cap that the Monarchs ever wore.

It was a fauxback/tribute to the Monarchs and the story I got is the Royals owner Glass didn't want to pay for the unis.
