Made by Ebbets Field Flannels with black melton wool and a black leather brim, the "Rossoneri" cap is inspired by Italian giants and 7 time European champions Associazone Calcio Milan.  Founded in 1899 by English expatriates, lace-maker Herbert Kilpin and businessman Alfred Edwards, the Rossoneri colors were chosen to represent the players’ fiery ardor (red) and the opponents’ fear to challenge the team (black).
