Pryvate School New York Mets 1962 MLB Wool Ebbets cap

From 1953 to 1963, baseball underwent a major transformation, often referred to as the “Decade of Change.” During this period, franchises relocated across the country and new teams emerged, reshaping the landscape of the game. In 1962, the New York Mets took the field for the first time, beginning a legacy that would become one of baseball’s most iconic. Their identity carried pieces of the city’s past, blending the Dodgers’ royal blue with the Giants’ orange “NY” to honor the teams that had recently left New York for the West Coast.

Crafted from authentic wool broadcloth and finished with flat embroidery true to the period, it reflects a time when the game and its style were evolving into something new.
