HOME PLATE — Cincinnati Chili Classic Baseball Tee | Bowl Games

In 1869, the Cincinnati Red Stockings became the first fully professional baseball team in history. They wore cream wool uniforms, knee-length knickers, and the bright red stockings that gave them their name. They went undefeated that season — 57 wins, 0 losses, 1 tie — barnstorming across the country and changing baseball from a gentleman's pastime into a paying sport. A century and a half later, Cincinnati is still two things at once: a baseball town and the undisputed chili capital of America.

HOME PLATE is our tribute — a batter in Red Stockings-era wool squaring up at the plate, a chili bowl where home plate should be, a catcher crouched behind in period gear, a meatball flying in from the mound. It's the pitch. It's the plate. It's the first pro team in the first pro sport meeting the city's favorite five-way bowl.

The ChiliStation logo sits on the left chest. The full illustration lives on the back — where everyone behind you at the ballpark, the bar, or the backyard cookout will see it first.
