In 1912 they wore a gray road uniform with a gray cap, but no C.
The Chicago Cubs' home uniform in 1911 and 1912 featured a dark cap with a white C. This seems like a better match. I've attached an image of Joe Tinker from 1911 or 1912 that had been available at RMY Auctions. (I do not own this photo.)

Damn, I totally forgot Chicago started with a C. As I was typing the post, I could only come up with Cincinnati as a "C" team.
