Detroit Tigers 1958 MLB Authentic Wool Ballcap

THE AUTHENTIC ON-FIELD BALLCAP OF THE 1958 DETROIT TIGERS

History: Between 1953 and 1963, during what came to be known as the “Decade of Change” in baseball, six teams moved to new cities and four brand new ballclubs joined the majors.

The on-cap logo for the Detroit Tigers in 1958 was a bit simpler than what we see today, with a slightly less intricate design to the classic blackletter, old english ‘D’ as well as more pronounced curves on the inside resembling the stitching on a baseball. 

Ebbets teamed up with Mitchell & Ness to create the Decade of Change Collection, honoring the era with period-accurate ballcaps like this one — handmade in the U.S.A. from genuine wool broadcloth and featuring the flat embroidery style typical of the time.
