Carmine Texas Charles Adams Baseball Military Style Hat Uniform 1909 Real Photo Postcard

The uniform's sailor collar, a common feature in early baseball attire, places this image in the late 19th or early 20th century, a period when baseball was rapidly professionalizing and uniforms were evolving to reflect team identity. The prominent C and star emblem on the chest signify a specific team or club, with the C likely representing a city (such as Chicago or Cincinnati) or a collegiate/amateur organization, and the star potentially denoting a specific achievement, league affiliation, or design element. The cap, featuring a distinct winged insignia, further reinforces this sense of specific team branding.
