Caps typically exhibit wear and tear more than any other uniform component... they were stretched and taken off/put on thousands of times during the course of the year. They absorbed sweat, endured being folded, stuffed in back pockets, etc. Perhaps someone here has a definitive answer about game-issued 1920s-30s Yankee Caps. But I think the single cap assumption would require a huge leap of faith.

Interesting. I definitely see your point and agree with that. Curious if anyone else believes different.
