Baseball cap - fashion trends 2019

The baseball cap is considered the most popular headdress. Invented for sports and sun protection from the eyes of athletes, the cap came to the liking of fans of baseball teams, among whom were people of different ages. Over time, baseball caps from the stadiums turned into everyday life, and original ideas designers raised the cap to the level of glamor.

However, until the middle of the last century, participants in baseball games continued to go to the stadiums in what was convenient for them. It could have been a straw hat, some wearing jockey helmets.

In 1954, the company New Era introduced to the sports public and the players themselves a new type of cap with a visor, from which she got the form of a jockey helmet. It was the same standard that long took root in baseball teams and among fans, becoming an attribute of the club’s distinction. Since that time, the baseball cap has led its triumphal procession across the globe, remaining one of the most popular types of headgear in modern man.
