Baseball cap - fashion trends 2021

The baseball cap is considered the most popular headwear. Invented for sports and for protecting athletes' eyes from the sun, the cap was to the liking of fans of baseball teams, among whom were people of all ages. Over time, baseball caps from stadiums moved into everyday life, and original ideas, the designers raised the cap to the level of glamor.

A baseball cap can be found in a variety of forms, colors and decorations. The cap flaunts on the heads of football or basketball fans; it is used to cover their faces from the sun on fashionable beaches and simple summer cottages. The baseball cap has become a favorite adornment of the stars at social events. We can say that this cap is the most versatile headdress of modern society.

The progenitor of the baseball cap first appeared on the heads of the Brooklyn baseball team in the late 19th century. This, at that time insignificant event, happened in 1860. However, until the middle of the last century, the participants in the baseball game continued to go to the stadiums in whatever it was convenient for them. It could have been a straw hat, some wore jockey helmets over their heads.

In 1954, New Era introduced the sports public and the players themselves to a new type of visor cap, from which they inherited the shape of a jockey helmet. It was the same standard that has long taken root in baseball teams and among fans, becoming an attribute of the club's distinction. Since that time, the baseball cap has been making its triumphant march across the globe, remaining one of the most popular types of headwear for modern people.

A baseball cap has its own characteristics and details. Among them: a large visor, a mesh on the back of the product, a logo, if there is a need to emphasize belonging to something, eyelets, seams and fasteners for adjusting the size of the headgear. All details can vary and then the baseball cap only changes its shape and can be used for some specific purpose. For example, for the army, the headgear is made of camouflage fabric and it looks more square in shape.

If you compare and look for what is the fundamental difference between a cap and a baseball cap, then there is not much of it. Perhaps in the title. For the inhabitants of the Soviet Union, the concept of baseball was alien, so everything that has a visor was called caps. So it has survived to this day. But experts in the history of fashion still found one small difference between these two hats. For the baseball cap, one detail was invented, which made it possible to firmly fix it on the head of athletes, baseball players in particular. This is a size adjustable clasp. A cap definitely does not have such a cap.

Baseball caps consist of 6 parts, which are fixed on the crown of the head with a decorative button. This part, integral to the form, is inherited from a jockey helmet.
