In 1998 my son spent the summer working on an archaeological dig 150 miles from Istanbul. They went into a small town near the dig for a meal one day and one of the street vendors had two ball caps for sale; a Dallas Cowboy and an Alabama. He bought the Bama cap for me. The color is a very faded red and the letters are trimmed in a pale gold. He gave the equivalent of $1.50 for the cap.
