BiographyThe Roman Pro Cap Company, commonly known as "Roman Pro" or "Roman", formed when the "KM Pro Company" closed its doors in 1976. KM (and sales representative Tim McAuliffe, Inc.) had used Roman Art Embroidery Corp's embroidery for MLB caps and uniforms. Roman provided many teams with their baseball caps and in the 1950s through the early 1980s. Roman became an official licensee of Major League Baseball and produced "authentic" reproductions of cap styles used in the past, and was the first cap company to carry Authentic Replicas under the "Cooperstown Collection" label. Due to Roman's vast archive of embroidery patterns dating back to the turn of the century, Roman offered a large variety of caps with 100% accurate embroidered logos (for caps that, KM, or Roman made) until 1994 when the company filed for bankruptcy as a result of the baseball strike and then left the baseball cap industry--wiki
