About this gift
A stylish and iconic baseball cap featuring an original design worn by the Kansas City Monarchs when they played at home and during all-star games.
Made out of 100% cotton. All designs are embroidered and not printed. Hand wash only. Adjustable. Velcro back.
The Kansas City Monarchs were an extremely successful and popular team in the Negro Leagues. They won 10 league pennants, more than any other team, and were the first "world champions" of the Negro Leagues.
J.L. Wilkinson created the Monarchs in 1920 from his All Nations barnstorming team. Barnstorming became a vital part of the club continuing to operate after the original Negro National League surrendered at the end of that decade. In 1930, Wilkinson took out a mortgage on everything he owned to buy a portable lighting system that introduced night games into professional baseball for the initial time. Those evening games not only assisted the Monarchs but some competitor clubs as well (who borrowed the lighting system) to survive through The Great Depression's toughest years.
