Cheer up, show your colors" is the line that sets this 1910 color poster apart: it sells fancy hat bands with a cheerful call to display allegiance. The record names no team or ballpark, but the subjects tie it to spectators, and the printed hat bands would have let a fan show loyalty in the stands. Around 1910, the deadball era was drawing large crowds to American ballparks, and patriotic and team-colored accessories were a popular way to take part. Posters like this were meant to catch the eye of shop customers and passersby, so their bright colors and simple slogans were part of the sales pitch.
