THE EXACT “SD” LOGO WORN BY THE PADRES BEFORE THEY JOINED MLB
History:By 1956, the Pacific Coast League was officially classified as "open,” with a plan in place to be eventually certified as a major league. However, rumblings about MLB clubs moving out west were already being heard, and in just two years the Dodgers and Giants would dash the dreams of the PCL, taking their two largest markets. The Padres continued on in the AAA PCL until a National League expansion franchise of the same name was granted for the 1969 season. The PCL Padres played in Lane Field, on San Diego's waterfront.
Made with the exact logo used by the Padres in 1956, this cap is made with original navy wool broadcloth, red and white embroidery, and a standard visor.
