Hildmann and Baumgart, two notable coaches in the German soccer scene, share a unique cap tradition. While Baumgart became famous for his slider cap emblazoned with "72," representing his birth year, Hildmann chose to represent his hometown club, 1st FC Prussia Münster, with a distinctive Preußen cap. This alternative cap has also garnered popularity among the team's supporters and souvenir collectors.
The merchandising department at Prussia Münster recognized the potential of Hildmann's iconic cap and decided to collaborate with him on a new edition. This fresh take on the Preußen cap features Hildmann's initials, "#sh," just as Baumgart's slider cap bears his birthdate. Nico Rensing, Head of Merchandising at Prussia Münster, confirmed that the new cap is more than just a one-off campaign and is currently under production, with an initial release of around 300 pieces.
As a beloved coach with a long-term contract at Bundesliga's founding member, Hildmann is expected to stay at the club, particularly if the team continues its successful run in the league. The upcoming match against Viktoria Köln presents an exciting opportunity for Hildmann. If he secures a win, it would mark his 100th competitive match victory with Prussia Münster, a significant milestone reflecting his strong performance as the team's head coach.
Interestingly, the popularity of this new cap with Hildmann's initials, #sh, among the Prussia Münster supporters is not widely reported, and the data currently available online does not provide specific insights into the demand for this item. To determine the popularity of this cap, one would need to consult specific sources related to Prussia Münster's fanbase or merchandising reports.
