2000 Countdown Baseball Cap
2000 Countdown Baseball Cap
Usage conditions apply
- Description
- The Y2K project directors at Guardian Life Insurance in lower Manhattan, used objects such as baseball caps and model trains to promote competition between the divisions and to keep team spirits up as the work moved forward. A model train was displayed in the company lobby, and as a division became Y2K compliant, a car with the division’s name on it was added to the train.
- The Y2K project directors wore this baseball cap to team meetings when they felt the team was losing focus. The cap is embroidered with "Count Down 2000" and has a digital readout that counted down to the year 2000.
