Note that the potentially offensive images of the former mascot have been obscured from our photos (otherwise we would not be permitted to display this page). Rest assured that the hat you purchase still has the former mascot as originally designed.
Here are the officially licensed Cleveland Indians MLB 275 style youth home caps made by OC Sports. The only difference between these and the 300 style caps is these have a curved bill. The 300s are flat, but it is easy to curve the bill to your taste if so desired. These...not so much. It's pretty difficult to flatten a pre-curved bill (and expect it to stay flattened); just an FYI. Otherwise, the 275s are essentially the same NOS (New Old Stock) cap as the 300s: Polyester/cotton twill, made in Bangladesh, with hook and loop closure and exceptional embroidery. OC Sports decided it was more cost-effective to only make one cap that could go flat or curved rather than gear up for two different bills. Personally, we prefer the curved bills, but then ...who asked us? Since these have been discontinued, we have considerably fewer of these than the 300s. NWOT. (Also note that some of the youth hats no longer have the "youth" sticker on them).
Thanks for dropping by and visiting.
