I use the $2 cap buddies from Wal-mart or other discount store. After a game I put it in the cap holder and hang it up to dry. If Saturday is nice, I try to hang them outside in the sun.

If the new hats haven't been worn, sounds as if where you are storing your gear is too damp. Either move the hats to somewhere drier or you need a dehumidfier or a tub or two of Damp Rid (also available form Walmart et al).

I collect caps and use the basic snap lid plastic storage boxes to keep them. I save the silica packs from empty boxes of things I've bought and place in them in with the hats. The silica gel (little packs that say Do Not Eat) are used to combat moisture until you get the items home from the store.

If you know someone that has a camera shop, they should have a bunch of large silica packs just lying around from stuff shipped in. They might just give them to you if you ask.
