The baggy green is the evolution of a cricket cap of green colour, which has been worn by Australian Test cricketers since around the turn of the twentieth century. The cap was not originally baggy as evidenced by photographs of early players. The cap has long been a symbol of national pride in Australia, and was described by the chief executive of the MCC as the "most famous cricket cap in the world". While respect for the baggy green cap has always been high, it has grown in stature since the 1990s, chiefly due to the efforts of former captains Mark Taylor and Steve Waugh.
