West Australian Baseball League cap – pre-1999
A six-panelled, pre-1999 West Australian Baseball League (WABL) cap with four black polyester mesh panels to the sides and back of the crown and two black synthetic fabric panels at the front. Appliqued to the two front panels is the badge of the WABL which has a black background with the Western Australian State emblem of a stylised gold swan. Encircling the swan is the name of the baseball league in gold thread. The top button is covered in black fabric, as is the underside of the peak. Inside the cap is a manufacturer's label and the two front panels are lined with cream fabric. The rear size adjuster is black plastic.
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 umpire Ken Smith.
