Baseball hats came into existence around 1860 when the Brooklyn Excelsiors wore a long peak creating the Brooklyn style.
The long peak endured style and vocabulary changes from 'bill' to 'brim'. The styling has changed from being floppy to a more organized look. This hat is a true icon that represents a sport. No other sport or activity is represented by a wearable as much as a unique men’s baseball hat.
Other activities ranging from politics to entertainment and 'giveaways' have benefited from the baseball cap as a product. It is evidence of its iconic status that it is known only by the terminology it was born and that is the Baseball hat.
