The Boston Red Sox has a lengthy history in Major League Baseball and is one of the most well-known teams in the league. These men and their Boston hats have become a part of American folklore. In light of their rich history, it’s no surprise that Boston Red Sox caps are so sought after.

To fulfill their American aspirations, two young Italian immigrants came to Boston in 1938 and started a tradition that would eventually become the Red Sox cap. Arthur and Henry D’Angelo were 12-year-old immigrants who could scarcely speak English when they first arrived in the United States.

As long as you lived in the North End of Boston, you didn’t have to worry about it back then. Outside of Fenway Park, the D’Angelo brothers sold their wares for a few pennies. A two-cent newspaper expanded into team merchandise, such as caps and T-shirts. They eventually had a business to run.

A lot of MLB hats are made by the firm, which is currently known simply as ’47. Additionally, it sells items for the National Football League (NFL), the National Basketball Association (NBA), and more than 900 other institutions.

If you’ve ever sported a team cap or T-shirt, chances are you’ve worn a ’47 product. This city and this street have been his home since the company’s official start in 1947.
