FWIW - in 1906 the Giants uniforms said "World's Champions," not "New York." They also wore pillbox style dark caps in 1904 and 1905. The cap here (and in the photo that started this thread) is very different. This photo (just above) is very likely earlier than claimed, but is hard (for me) to date.
