New York Mets 1962 MLB Authentic Wool Ballcap
THE AUTHENTIC ON-FIELD BALLCAP OF THE 1962 NEW YORK METS 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 New York Mets played their first season in 1962, kicking off one of the most storied franchises in baseball history. In deciding their colors, the Mets took the royal blue from the Dodgers and the orange NY logo from the Giants, both former New York teams who moved to California a few years before. 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.
