The Throwback

I don't usually pay much attention to or  buy any throwback or "turn back the clock caps."

Until this little gem came along, which was made by the Roman Cap Company.

After a little research I had to but this cap.

Why did this cap grab my attention?

I had never seen it before and the tags indicated it was made in the early 90's.

Here's the story:  remember that the Minnesota Twins came into existence in 1961.

They Twins were not an expansion team. Minneapolis was awarded an expansion franchise but they  received  Washington Senators  instead.

The above cap is a "fauxback" based on this cap"

"In 1994, during the height of Texas' "we want an old uniform but we don't have one" days, the team did dip back into the uniforms of those Washington Senators but they were updated, ever so slightly.

Washington's famous "curly W" logo (currently used by the Washington Nationals) was transformed into a curly "T", the "Senators" script across the chest was re-done to read "Rangers" in the exact same style. They both represented their pre-relocation franchise history and their current home fans. An interesting idea, and from what I can tell they're the only team to ever do this for a throwback game."
