Baseball is one of the most popular sports in the United States of America, and continues to gain popularity across the world for the exciting sport it is. The one thing which baseball spawned however was a trend which will never be outgrown by the actual sport. It is used by people from all countries, young people, old people, even people who hate baseball. It is the baseball hat!


Baseball hats were first used in 1860 by the Brooklyn Excelsior’s baseball team. At the time every other team wore hats of all types or not at all. Ninety-Four years later by the New Era hat company the 59Fifty baseball hat became the officially designed and adopted hat for baseball players. They stayed on your head, and the bill kept the sun out of your eyes. They were the ultimate hat!


Their practicality and usability for normal people for everyday life was quickly realised and the market spread far further than the baseball field and right across the United States of America and then worldwide. They are a hat for everybody, with the guy on the street wearing them and film stars and even the president. You would be hard-pressed to find one person on the planet who hasn’t worn a baseball cap on at least one occasion.


Baseball hats, although having millions of varieties and designs have never strayed too far from their original design and are the longest-running style hat ever. In a day and age where everything is constantly been bettered, we are yet to see a hat replace the baseball hat in both style and practicality.
