Boston Red Sox Hats

Essential Gear for Red Sox Fans

Visit Fenway Park and you'll see so many fans wearing Boston Red Sox hats and caps that you'll think they're part of a dress code.  Actually, that's kind of true.  Most folks here own at least one, and we tend to wear them a lot.

If you want to get into the spirit of Boston, you'll want a Red Sox hat for yourself.  They're also handy for shading your face from the sun, which can be hotter here than you might expect.  And in winter, the hats will keep your ears warm. 

I've assembled a collection of styles - everything from the classic baseball cap to Red Sox Santa hats.  You'll want more than one, so that your head will always be properly attired for every occasion.

Classic Red Sox caps

In classic navy blue with a red Boston Red Sox logo "B" in front, these caps set the standard by which all others are judged.  Although the 3 shown below look almost the same, there are important differences.

If you know what size you need, the fitted cap in cotton twill on the left looks great with its enclosed back and the iconic red socks near the back center.  

But if you're not sure of your size or if you're giving the cap as a gift, you should get the adjustable Boston Red Sox hat in the middel.  The open back also means that it's a bit cooler on hot, steamy August days. 

Finally, the adjustable hat on the right looks almost identical to the one next to it, but it's made from wool, which helps it hold its shape.  During summer heat, it won't be quite as comfortable to wear, but if you care a lot about appearance, this one may be your preference

Variations of Boston Red Sox classic hats

These caps are similar to the ones above - but with a few twists.   The blue and white hat is for "freshmen" - wear it and people may think you're a new team member!  If you get the green cap, be sure to check out the matching St. Patrick's Day Red Sox shirt.  The cap on the right is a local favorite because of the red socks, just like the ones on the side of Fenway Park.

Red Sox hats for winter

Red Sox headwear is worn year-around - but once the temperature drops below freezing and the wind chill factor dips into Arctic terriitory, warm hats replace caps.

The cuffed beanie is one of the most popular styles, although you also see lots of the Argyle style hat with earflaps and tassles.  The most popular Boston Red Sox hat of all, though, is the Santa hat.
