Baseball cap from the Memphis Red Sox, ca. 1945. Creator: Unknown
The Memphis Red Sox, originally named the Barber College Baseball Club, were an American Negro league baseball team that was active from 1920 to 1959. The cap is a game-worn, wool, blue baseball-style cap. It has a stiff front brim and the crown is divided into six panels with white-stitched air holes in each panel. A white patch reading [M] has been sewn to the front and is outlined in red. The underside of the brim is green. There is a brown, leather headband running almost around the entire bottom interior of the hat. The front two panels of the interior of the hat are lined with a stiff white canvas. There is a torn, partial tag attached to the back edge of the leather band on the proper right side that reads [D[---?] / [---?] / [---?] / In[---?] / SHO[---?] / [---? ]]
