  • Hint 1: The answer is something has a team logo or design on the front.
  • Hint 2: The three-letter is an accessory worn on the head to protect from the sun or even for fashion.
  • Hint 3: It starts with the letter “H.”
  • Hint 4: The solution is also called a “cap.”

Let’s jump in and reveal the answer. 

The answer to eight across in the Sept. 24 New York Times Mini Crossword is “HAT.” Many baseball players wear hats as part of their uniforms. They’re used for sun protection and team identification. Soccer involves running, jumping, and heading the ball, so wearing a hat could impact them negatively. That said, goalkeepers are allowed to wear caps.

The Brooklyn Excelsiors team are often credited with popularizing the modern baseball cap in 1860.
