Miami / Florida Marlins Caps History
The expansion Florida Marlins begin play in 1993.
1992 Retail
Sports Specialties
The Marlins start off using Sports Specialties caps. When MLB logos were first added to caps, Sports Specialties glued them onto the LEFT SIDE of caps in 1992. Thus we know the cap below was made in 1992 before the team began play. In 1993, the MLB logo was embroidered on the back of caps.
