Represent Jacksonville's Legendary Negro League Team!
This vintage-inspired tee celebrates the iconic Jacksonville Red Caps, one of the most successful franchises in the history of Negro League baseball. Though their time was limited, the Red Caps made a lasting impact both on and off the field.
The Red Caps joined the Negro Southern League in 1938 and quickly became one of the premier teams in Black baseball. Playing their home games at Rounders Park, the Red Caps drew massive crowds who marveled at their talented rosters featuring stars like Bullet Rogan, Ted Radcliffe, and Mexican heavyweight champion Kid Octavio.
Known for their stylish red and black uniforms featuring the distinctive "Red Caps" script across the chest, the team captured four straight Negro Southern League pennants from 1938-1941. Their success reflected Jacksonville's vibrant African American baseball culture and community pride.
More than just an elite baseball team, the Red Caps served as ambassadors promoting racial integration and civil rights progress through their character and accomplishments. Their resilience in the face of discrimination inspired generations of fans across the racial divide.
While financial troubles led to their demise after the 1942 season, the Red Caps' pioneering legacy lives on through this retro t-shirt featuring their iconic jersey insignia. Made of a heavyweight cotton material, it comes in sizes S-5XL and colors like red, black, white and gray. Whether you're a baseball aficionado or simply appreciate Jacksonville history and culture, this nostalgic tee is for you. Grab yours today and help keep the Red Caps' courageous spirit alive!
