Original 1998 MLS Cup strapback commemorating the championship match held at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. Features bold embroidered front patch reading “MLS Cup ’98” with location detail, paired with a DC United pin on the side—adding extra collectible appeal tied to one of Major League Soccer’s early dynasty teams. Produced by American Needle (Made in USA), a strong indicator of quality and a big plus for collectors. Classic late-90s construction with a structured crown, curved bill, and adjustable strapback closure. Clean black colorway makes the front patch pop, while the added pin gives it a unique, slightly customized look that separates it from standard examples.
