Transformers Artifact of the Week: Transformers Baseball Caps by Pilgrim Sportswear

Back in the day they put Transformers characters and logos on anything and everything, including baseball caps. I’ve been picking these up over the years. I don’t see them that often.

Produced in 1986 by Pilgrim Sportswear these trucker style mesh caps came in a variety of colors. They use G1 box art with the classic Transformers Logo.

I have five in my collection including Omega Supreme, Optimus Prime, Slag, Snarl, and Ultra Magnus. I know caps of at least three additional characters that exist, Astrotrain, Perceptor, and Kickback, but I have yet to obtain those. Other characters may also exist.

I know that the red Snarl hat I have is also available in blue, Perceptor is exists in blue and in red, and Astrotrain exists in purple and gray and also in black. It’s likely the other characters were also available in additional colors. Oddly Omega Supreme’s hat has two colors, orange for the visor and black for the back and the picture I’ve seen of the Astrotrain hat has a gray visor and purple back. Not sure why these two were done with multiple colors. All the others I’ve seen are white with one other color.

As always, you can find over 23,000 Transformers artifacts from every Transformers series and generation at TFMuseum.com.
