HOW THE BASEBALL CAP WENT FROM ATHLETIC GEAR TO FASHION STATEMENT
The first-ever baseball game that you would recognize took place in Hoboken, New Jersey, on June 19, 1846, when the New York Knickerbockers played the more prosaically named New York Baseball Club. 5.1. _____ The one that the players sported when they arrived at Elysian Fields, where the match took place, consisted of matching shirts and pantaloons and wide-brimmed hats made of thin, plaited wood strips. Though the Knickerbockers' stipulation that each player "must also have the reputation of a gentleman" has been sadly strained over the years, the modern game still owes a great deal to the mid-19th century. 5.2. _____ By contrast, the original hats didn't last. The Knickerbockers switched to merino wool within a couple of years. The cap as we know it today began to take shape around the turn of the century. Its design eventually acquired a narrow front brim and specialized stitching to support a higher, more comfortable crown made of six panels. Air holes were also added. The stubby new model was designed not for style, but rather to keep the sun out of players' eyes.

Then in 1901, the Detroit Tigers made arguably the farthest-reaching innovation in the game's history. 5.3. _____ It changed the way people dress in every country of the world. The "Philadelphia style" cap, with a sturdier brim, debuted seven years later, and was quickly embraced by major-league teams. Designers continued to tinker, as crowns grew higher and materials became stronger. However, it was not until the advent of television – the first major-league game was telecast on August 26, 1939 – that a whole new audience was brought to the sport, which precipitated a rush of uniform redesigns. As a result, by 1945 every team was wearing their own branded cap.
In the 1980s, New Era, the company that had supplied Major League Baseball for decades, started selling authentic team-branded hats to fans. Soon they became a must-have accessory. 5.4. _____ The cap worked for other luminaries as well. The baseball cap deflates grandeur so well because, theoretically, anyone could be hidden underneath; as memorabilia go, they're cheaper than a jersey and match any outfit. Big brands know that in a baseball cap even a supermodel can look like the girl next door.
