History: The Elite (rhymes with light) Giants originated in Nashville, also playing in Cleveland, Columbus, OH, and Washington, DC before finally settling in Baltimore in 1938, where they won the NNL championship in 1938, cementing their names in the history books.
To honor the Elite Giants, we made a replica of their 1947 on-field cap, true to the original, from the wool broadcloth and felt lettering to the green satin under the visor.
In partnership with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum (NLBM), we are proud to offer this authentic wool ballcap. A portion of proceeds from this product will support the NLBM in Kansas City. For more information about the museum, visit www.nlbm.com
