The Rich History of Cubs Gear

Cubs fan gear remains one of the most sought after in Major League Baseball whether they have a winning or losing season.
The Chicago Cubs have as rich a history as the city they represent, and have some of the most loyal fans in professional sports. Part of that loyalty comes from the fact that the Cubs have been around since 1876 when they were known as the White Stockings as one of the first organized teams in professional baseball. At the turn of the century, the team gained the nickname the “Cubs” as a result of having so many young players. The name stuck and when you pair the team colors of red, white, and blue, the aura of the all American team has evolved to the phenomenon it is today.

With so many loyal Cubs fans, showing team support is important for the fans and the sport itself. The options for sports gear are nearly endless with an abundance of Cubs caps, jerseys, jackets, and much more. So how do you choose what best fits your personality and budget? Cubs caps are still the best value and most requested item to show support for this classic team, and can be worn year round regardless of the weather. Men and women alike love the caps, and the ease of wear and cleaning makes them a stable in any Cubs fan’s wardrobe. Caps are not the only head gear available with the beloved Cubs logo since a variety of hats are now available and include adjustable caps, mesh, cotton, wool, and blended hats. With options like the franchise cap, traditional logo hat, and Royal Freshman caps, you will probably need more than one.

Cubs caps are not the only choice in fan gear. T-shirts, jerseys, jackets, shorts, pants, sweats, sweaters, tank tops, and just about any other form garment can be purchased with the Cubs logo. Every year, there are more styles and designs to choose from, and you can then decide if you want your Cubs logo embroidered, silk screened, or woven onto the fabric. Chicago Cubs jerseys remain the most popular item for fans, and are the most versatile to wear whether you live in sunny Florida, or chilly Wisconsin. You are off to a good start if you have a Chicago Cubs jersey and cap to start of your team wardrobe!

Official Cubs gear is available online and in retail stores throughout the country, and if you are curious as to the authenticity of the item you are purchasing, check for the official seal. Unfortunately, when you have a successful team like the Cubs, you have many people who want to create counterfeit items to get a piece of the action. By looking for the silver seal or official tag of the Chicago Cubs, you can rest assured that your fan gear is of the best quality and reflects the actual logo and colors of the team. This is especially important if you are a collector of Cubs caps, jerseys, or any other item that is highly sought after. Serious collectors will tell you how important it is to make sure you are getting the real deal, and you want the best, right? Go Cubs!
