Team History

Seattle Metropolitans(TM) 1915 - 1927
Before 1926, the Stanley Cup was contested by all teams in professional hockey. By winning the Pacific Coast Hockey Association title in 1917, the Seattle Metropolitans earned the right to play the Montreal Canadiens for the Cup. Seattle upset the Habs, becoming the first American team to bring home the Cup. The PCHA played under rules that had seven men on the ice, so the playoffs alternated between "eastern" and "western" rules. The Montreal - Seattle Cup rematch in 1919 was called off due to a flu epidemic.

Ebbets Field Caps
Patterned after real baseball caps from the forties, fifties, and sixties. Made of 100% wool flannel, soft crown, horsehide leather sweatbands. Lettering is embroidered or hand-sewn felt, according to the original specifications. All Ebbets Field ballcaps are stocked in eight sizes (6 7/8 through 7 3/4) and available for immediate delivery.

A Note On Hat Sizes
If you have not worn fitted caps, it can seem intimidating. It's easy to get fitted, all you need is a tape measure, the chart below, and a little patience. Fit the tape measure around the widest part of your head (just above the ears), then match the measurement to the size on the chart below. That's your hat size. When you receive your cap, try it on before breaking it in. It should be snug, but not too tight, like a good pair of shoes. If for any reason the hat you get doesn't fit, give Ebbets Field a call, and they will send you an exchange.
