kevinmets Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 In 1950, the Athletics wore gold trim on their uniforms to pay tribute to Connie Mack's 50 years as manager. I've seen pictures of the cap, which had the gold trim around the white "A", but can't find it right now.Reds had an oval non-wishbone C that was red with navy outline from 1961-1966. Worn on gray cap and white red pin-striped caps.Wow good catch(es), it's really hard to see those outlines on the Dressed to the Nines pictures. Thanks for the info.White Sox throwback cap: http://sportslogos.net/logo.php?id=zqkfu9k8935cv26w5tlqPretty sure this is incorrectly listed, as it only appeared on the jersey (with a blank cap).Also with regards to the pillbox caps: unless I can find photos of other teams using them, the only ones I am including are the Pirates, Cardinals, Mets, and Phillies.

winghaz Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Anybody else notice that the Indians, Reds and Cubs might have had the same type of red wishbone C at the same time in the early '50s on blue caps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showtime029 Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 First of all, pretty damn cool. Good job. I don't know how technical we are being here, but I believe that the Red Sox had two other variations of the "B" on their caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jungle Jim Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 The Mariners star/trident logo was worn on helmets with the white front panel. Did they ever wear it on a cap of that style, as well, or just the solid navy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrbaseball Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Oakland A's managers and coaches wore white caps with a green logo during part of the 1970s: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjrbaseball Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Also, Houston Colt .45s logo had block numerals, not a rounded 5.(Chris has it wrong on his site as well.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrypep Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 UPDATED!Old Wallpaper VersionUpdated Wallpaper VersionThe 1980-1984 Padres logo (third one, brown SD on yellow field with orange piping) is incorrect, or at best, incomplete. The main logos they wore were as follows:Note that the cap that Dick Williams wore on the left had a thicker SD than the one that Goose Gossage is sporting. In 1984, New Era supplied the team with the caps on the right, somehow thinning out the SD. Good reference on the whole history of Padres "Taco Bell" caps are right here: http://ballcapblog.blogspot.com/2010/07/hey-baseball-fans-i-will-begin-my-first.htmlThe logo you have depicted above was used on their batting practice jerseys:The reason I qualified my first sentence as "at best, incomplete" is because I used to have both the 1984 and 1985 Padres Media guides and in one of those guides they had a picture of Dick Williams wearing a cap like that. It looked like Spring Training and I don't recall anyone ever wearing that version in a real game. According to the link above, that cap was made by Roman Pro and was sold in retail outlets to compete with New Era and Sports Specialties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutmasterflex Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 If you're only doing logos starting from the 1950s, then some teams (like the A's) shouldn't have their Philly caps on there Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Don't think so - that gold-trimmed A's logo comes from 1950. Pics on Page 2 of the thread.Personally, 1950 seems a terribly arbitrary cut-off to me, but I don't think he's gone beyond it. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

timmy b Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 A couple more addies:Browns had gray and white caps in 1950 with browns visors. "STL" in both cases was orange.Tigers "D" in some cases had a different Gothic font thru 1967. Can't pull one up right now, but I will try soon.Plus the one "B" on the cap of a very youthful Ted Williams is from - at the latest - 1941 or so.

Gothamite Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Even so, the Red Sox' "B" logo varied a bit from manufacturer to manufacturer, even in the 1950s. And the Brooklyn Dodgers wore at least three different "B" caps in the 1950s. I'll dig out the pics tomorrow. Congrats, though, on not using the Official Cooperstown Collection file, about the only version of their logo the Dodgers didn't wear in the 1950s (or any other era).
