【Description】
A vintage New Era "PRO MODEL" National League (NL) umpire cap from the late 1960s to early 1970s.
This is a professional-grade item actually worn by Major League Baseball umpires at the time.
The inner tag reads "Since 1920 / DuPont Visor / Weatherized / Pre-Shrunk / Perspiration Proof / PRO MODEL".
The visor uses a hard material made by DuPont, making it resistant to losing its shape, rain, and sweat, boasting top-class functionality at the time.
The "NL" on the front is the official league initial for the National League.
Its appeal lies in the clean design, unique to umpire-specific models and different from player models, and its dignified presence.
The body is made of thick wool, and the crown is high and three-dimensional, giving it a classic silhouette not found in current New Era caps.
The size is a highly sought-after 7 3/8, a golden size.
The color is faded navy.
While there is some signs of use due to age, the condition is good for a vintage cap, and it has an excellent vibe.
MLB umpire-issued pro models are rare,
making this a highly valuable item for both baseball vintage collectors and New Era collectors.
※Please understand that this is a vintage item and confirm the images before purchasing.
