1960’s Notre Dame Football Coach’s Cap

Presented here is a 1960’s Notre Dame Football Coach’s Cap, a rare and visually striking piece directly tied to one of college football’s most storied programs. This vintage football coach’s cap is an authentic relic from the golden era of Fighting Irish football, when legends were made under the bright lights of South Bend.

Crafted in heavyweight wool blend material, the cap features the classic six-panel construction with a firm bill—typical of the coach’s style caps worn during the 1960s. Embroidered boldly across the front is the iconic “Notre Dame” lettering in rich gold stitching, a sharp contrast against the deep navy blue of the cap. The interior retains its original maker’s tag and size label, further affirming its authenticity and vintage pedigree.

The condition is excellent, showing only light, honest wear, likely from minimal use on the practice field or sidelines. The structure remains crisp, with the brim firm and the stitching tight throughout. Simply put, it’s a remarkable survivor from an era when Notre Dame Football stood as the pinnacle of college gridiron glory.

Vintage collegiate coach’s caps from this era are seldom encountered, particularly those tied to such a historically significant program. This exceptional Notre Dame football coach’s cap would make a standout addition to any vintage football, collegiate memorabilia, or sportswear collection. A true Irish classic!
