1983-1993 SF Giants Cap 2 (1992)

Update: I modified some formatting below but mostly kept the content the same otherwise. I'm considering re-writing some of these early posts because these caps are really special to me and I've learned a lot about New Era cap history since writing this one ten years ago so stay tuned! (10/13/2021)

I own a number of Giants caps from this era for a few reasons with the first being the construction of these caps is top-notch. I also love the fit of the 100% wool caps and the way they eventually mold to the my head. The polyester caps today last a long time and are great if you are out in the rain. In short, the wool caps provide a nostalgic value that the current caps cannot match.

As I mentioned in my last post, I've found that the caps from the 1983-1993 era feature a thicker block-style logo than the one on the Orlando Cepeda signed-cap.  I have a suspicion that the lettering variance is situational but I'd like to think that there is some way to track the year-by-year differences. 

Update: a few years after publishing this post, I came across the San Francisco Giants Caps History on mlbcollectors.com which answered many of the questions I had and then some!









Update: In the ten years since I published this post, I've come to learn that the embroidered batterman is something that took shape in 1992 so I updated the title of this blog to reflect that piece of information
