    Re: Baseball Caps Made By ANNCO

    Does anyone have information on the Yankees using ANNCO caps in the late 1970s/early 1980s. I'm looking at one, but have never seen an ANNCO Yankees lid before and, since the one I'm looking at is a major name, I want more solid info before I put my name with it.

    I can't find any evidence of ANNCO caps being used on the field except for the Phillies caps made for Wilson under private label. The made MLB fitted caps though all the way through the 80s before becoming just "American Needle" and making only throwbacks. ANNCO is short for American Needle Novelty Company.

    If you compare ANNCO/American Needle's (USA made) caps and embroidery made in the mid 80s to mid 90s, they are identical to New Era's from the same time, especially the throwbacks. There had to be a relationship between the two. I personally think that it may have been a labor thing, like they used the same employees and manufacturing equipment under some sort of agreement. American Needle later had Pro-Line make their caps under private label before eventually having production outsourced.

    Yes thanks......I love the ballcap blog. From what I can gather about ANNCO caps, they are few and far between and you hardly ever see them come up for sale. If anyone out there knows what a Baltimore Orioles cap would be valued at please let me know as I want to offer it for sale.

    Thanks!

    I think you'll find this somewhat useful:

    In-depth analysis, reviews, and comparisons of official Major League Baseball caps, the kind used on the field of play, old time to present day.

    I don't own any, but I have seen a few late 1970s era Phillies caps from Annco.

    Hi......just wanted to see if anyone out there has any Major League Baseball caps made by ANNCO. I currently have a Baltimore Orioles and used to have a couple of New York Mets.

    Thanks,
