Two Youth Caps, Two Different Fits
Shopping for a youth Indianapolis Indians cap means choosing between two popular styles: the '47 Clean Up and the Bimm Ridder Replica. Both are adjustable and officially licensed, but they differ in crown shape, material feel, and closure type. Here's how to pick the one that fits your child best.
What the Caps Offer
- Indianapolis Indians '47 Youth Navy Home Clean Up Adjustable Cap: The '47 Youth Navy Home Clean Up Adjustable Cap features a low crown, unstructured relaxed fit, and a curved bill with an adjustable fabric strap and snap buckle. The low, unstructured crown sits closer to the head, which can feel lighter and less bulky for kids. The snap closure allows easy size adjustments.
Indianapolis Indians '47 Youth Navy Home Clean Up Adjustable Cap - Indianapolis Indians Bimm Ridder Youth Navy Home Cotton Replica Adjustable Cap: The Bimm Ridder Youth Navy Home Cotton Replica Adjustable Cap has a structured crown, curved bill, and adjustable Velcro closure. It replicates what the team wears on field. The structured crown holds its shape and gives a more traditional baseball cap look. Velcro adjustment is simple for kids to fasten themselves.

Fit and Feel at a Glance
Both caps are 100% cotton and listed as one size fits most youth, but the fit experience differs.
- Crown shape: Clean Up: low crown, unstructured (relaxed, no stiff front). Replica: structured crown (holds shape, stands up off the head).
- Adjustment type: Clean Up: fabric strap with snap buckle. Replica: Velcro closure.
- Fit feel: Clean Up: relaxed, lower profile. Replica: more traditional cap shape, slightly taller crown.
- Style note: Clean Up: has a sublimated pattern on the brim. Replica: solid navy with raised embroidery, replicating the on-field look.
Which Cap Should You Choose?
If your child prefers a cap that feels less bulky and sits closer to the head, the '47 Clean Up's unstructured fit is a good choice. The snap buckle is also easy for small hands to adjust. If they want a cap that looks like the players wear on the field—with a structured crown that stands up—the Bimm Ridder Replica is a better match. The Velcro closure is equally simple and allows quick adjustments.
Both caps are surface washable, so cleaning is straightforward. Since neither cap comes with a size chart beyond "one size fits most," you may need to try the adjustment range to find the perfect fit. The key difference is crown structure: choose unstructured for a lower, relaxed feel, and structured for a classic cap shape.
