<p dir="ltr"><strong>AUTHENTIC REPLICA OF THE ORIGINAL "NY" AS WORN BY THE BLACK YANKEES</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><span><strong>History: </strong>The New York Black Yankees started as an independent team in 1932. They barnstormed in those first years, sometimes playing doubleheaders in different states on successive days. They joined the Negro National League in 1936. In the 40s, they played home games at Yankee Stadium when the American League Yankees were on the road.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>This cap plays homage to the on-field cap the Black Yankees wore during their first season in the Negro Leagues. Made with genuine wool broadcloth and finished with cream wool felt lettering, this is a meticulously crafted tribute to those who made baseball the game it is today.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span><meta charset="utf-8">In partnership with the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum (NLBM), we are proud to offer this authentic wool ballcap. A portion of proceeds from this product will support the NLBM in Kansas City. For more information about the museum, visit <a href="https://www.nlbm.com/">www.nlbm</a></span></p>
