Overview

This is a classic Triple-A minor league baseball cap representing the Edmonton Trappers of the Pacific Coast League. It features the team's iconic stylized cursive 'E' in raised navy and white embroidery against a vibrant red crown.

Story

The Edmonton Trappers were a cornerstone of Canadian baseball for over two decades, serving as the top-tier affiliate for major league teams like the California Angels and the Minnesota Twins.

Maker / Origin

Sports Specialties was the undisputed king of the 'script' hat era, founded by David Rappaport and later becoming the first official licensee for the NFL.

Condition & Value

The hat appears to be in good vintage condition with the original 'Sports Specialties' tag intact. There is some minor surface dust and light wear to the brim edge, but the embroidery remains crisp and the red color has not suffered from significant UV fading. Condition is consistent with light use and long-term storage.
