Brooklyn's Tip-Tops joined the upstart Federal League in 1914, playing at Washington Park in a bold challenge to organized baseball. Born from a war between rival leagues, the club lasted just two seasons before the Federal League folded after 1915. Brooklyn had major league ball before the Dodgers ever crossed the bridge. Part of our Defunct Baseball collection, inspired by the vintage Minor League teams of yesteryear.
The Details:
Arched distressed white text reads "BROOKLYN" above block letters reading "TIP-TOPS," with "NY" flanking a vintage hand-drawn batter in pinstripes mid-swing. Below, smaller text reads "EST." "FEDERAL LEAGUE" "1914" and "BASEBALL CLUB," flanked by a glove and cleats. Crossed bats appear beneath script text reading "Brooklyn, New York."
