Reebok captures the AFL 50th Anniversary Season by releasing the Legacy Collection, which offers throwback jerseys, apparel, and caps from the original eight teams. The caps below feature current team logos with 50th Anniversary patches commemorating this special season. Team fitted and flex-fit styles are now being sold through NFL.com, team shops, sporting good chains, and headwear only spots.
