The Roman Pro Cap Company

The first Roman Pro Caps sported a black tag on the sweat band.

I think of the Roman Pro Cap Company as the offspring of McAuliffe and KM Pro.

And the cousin of Devon Cap Co..

The internet tells me that KM Pro went out of business in 1976.

Roman Art Embroidery was doing the artwork for KM for years.

Inventory and machinery were purchased from KM Pro and Roman Pro was born.

     Roman Pro was the official supplier of on the field caps for the following teams:

     Atlanta Braves         1981-82

     Baltimore Orioles    1978-80  (This is my favorite Roman cap)

     Boston Red Sox      1977-78

     Chicago White Sox    1977-78

     Houston Astros       1978

     L.A. Dodgers          Early 80's

     Milwaukee Brewers    1977-79

     Montreal Expos       1977-78

     N.Y.  Mets             1978

     N.Y.  Yankees         1977

     San Francisco Giants    1983

Remember, Roman Pro bought some of the inventory and equipment from KM Pro.....

On the left is a 1976 KM Pro and 1977 Roman on the right.

and this is the inside of that Roman Pro Cap.....the famous KM Pro "zig zag."

Notice the difference in the logo?

1975 KM Pro on the left, 1977 Roman Pro on the right.

KM Pro stopped using Roman Art after 1975 according to MLB Collectors.com.

1990's Roman Tag

Roman Pro Cap Company was the exclusive provider of Cooperstown Collection Caps in the 80's

On the left is the 70's on-field model, on  the right is the Cooperstown Collection from the 80's.

Not very similar,  and look closely at the color in between the M on each cap.

Before closing, Roman Pro made some unique fitteds in 1994.
