1. Cool…would like it even better with the green underneath, like they wore until the 1986 playoffs.

2. they had the orange button in 1999. it was added in the ’94-’95 range.

   1. Just went back to my yearbooks Brian…orange dot debuted in 1997.

3. Correction…they wore green until the 1986 WS…these photos show green in the NLCS

   1. Tommy,
      That’s definitely a Twins Enterprises Cap. You can tell by the logo above the snap closure.Not too sure what year it’s from. Twins and Banner Supply merged, I believe in 2003, and became the ’47 brand. If you really need to know, I suggest email MLB Licensing here: [email protected] and ask, for research I guess, when Twins Enterprises was granted a Licensee and start from there. MY guess would be from the mid to late 80’s as I vaguely remember seeing that logo on caps from around that time.

      Good luck,

      Terence M.K.

      1. According to their website, the merger happened in 2005 and this year they launched 47…they have a store at the ballpark and I went in there yesterday…they had some interesting t-shirts…at a lower price point I may have bought one. They have a very washed out look and I feared paying a lot of money for a t-shirt and it not lasting very long.

5. These hats are pretty easy to find. I have two of them. One I got at Mitchell and Ness in Philadelpia and the other one at Mickeys in Cooperstown. Mickeys even has them on their website. They’re Cooperstown Collection replica’s of ’69 hat.
