Such helmets held Dairy Queen ice cream. I am confident that other ice cream companies, offered the same promotion, as did the individual major and minor league parks.
These are older helmets, thus I'll identify the teams, left to right: Houston Astros, Montreal Expos (now the Washington Nationals), and the Pittsburgh Pirates. From the color schemes, I'd think that these were from the 70s. Correct me if I'm incorrect...thanks!
Thank you, mrmajestic1!
Nice hats!!!
Well, this brought back some memories! I have a little Toronto Blue Jays hat - same colour as the Montreal Expos one, but with the Toronto team's logo. Bought it around 1994 from a concession at the Blue Jays stadium; with ice cream in it, as you say, and very probably from a Dairy Queen stall. The occasion: my English boyfriend was attending his very first real-life baseball game! (Reader, I married him.) Anyway, it's really to get to see see the ice cream hats for the other teams. Thank you for this fun post!
