West Australian Baseball League cap – 1990s
A West Australian Baseball League (WABL) cap consisting of a six-panel crown, two of which are black polyester fabric and four of black nylon mesh on the sides and back. The peak is black polyester fabric on the upper side and green fabric on the underside. The top button is covered in black fabric. The rear size adjuster is black plastic. Inside the cap the two front panels have a white lining, there is a white sweatband and a manufacturer's label indicating the cap size and where it was made.
With the amalgamation of the West Australian Baseball League Inc. (WABL) and the Baseball Development Foundation Inc. (BDF) on 5 May 1999, Baseball WA Ltd (BWA) was formed. Subsequently the logo and uniforms of the Western Australian State baseball league were changed. This pre-1999 Western Australian State team cap displays the logo of the WABL and was worn by Western Australian Ken Smith when umpiring junior or senior games.
