Cap badges are a modern form of heraldry and their design generally incorporates highly symbolic devices.

Origins of regimental cap badges:

Regimental badges appears to have originated with the British Army. The Encyclopædia Britannica’s 1911 Edition notes that although branch badges for infantry, cavalry and so on were common to other armies of the time, only the British Army wore distinctive regimental devices.

Baseball caps:

The baseball caps are five panel cotton twill with a plastic size adjuster – one size fits all – in various colours; there is also a version in half mesh style but in a more limited colour range.

These caps are ideal for printing a club logo, as there is only a requirement for twelve hats. One colour print only on white hats. Machine embroidery is a further option for some designs.
