Philadelphia Stars 1940 Authentic Wool Softbrim Ballcap
$68 USD
THE AUTHENTIC WOOL BALLCAP OF PHILADELPHIA’S TOP NEGRO LEAGUE TEAM
History:New research has uncovered this gorgeous cap from Philadelphia's top Negro league team. Former Hilldale owner Ed Bolden founded the Stars, and the team was co-owned by Eddie Gottlieb, who also owned the basketball teams Sphas and Warriors. Among the many great players who donned a Stars uniform were Biz Mackey, Chet Brewer, and Turkey Stearnes.
This navy blue cap is made from genuine wool broadcloth and features a felt “P” on the crown, just like the one worn by the Stars in 1940.
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
