damnyoutuesday Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 What do you guys think of MLB teams that have on field hats they don't wear anymore, but keep around for the fans to buy?Such as the Marlins orange hat (tragic), the reds black hat, the Red Sox hanging sox hat, etc. Sorry, I'm on an iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phutmasterflex Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I like them.Rockies purple capA's black capsRoyals powder blue capsI see those in rotation at hat stores too. Some of them might still be in style guides but haven't been worn in a long time. Some are no longer part of the style guide but still around because of excess inventory or possibly just popularity Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis2051 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Don't the mets still have their black hat and alt on the books technically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them might still be in style guides but haven't been worn in a long time. Some are no longer part of the style guide but still around because of excess inventory or possibly just popularity I was able to get a powder blue Royals cap for $5 (I bought 3) last season. It was my first trip to the "K" (fantastic stadium, btw). It was fairly early in the season, and the World Series fever hadn't happened yet, so they had literally hundreds in boxes. I wouldn't mind getting some of the retired caps that aren't in back-stock, but I hate how New Era puts their logo on the side of them now.

Bmac Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Interestingly enough, New Era just discontinued a bunch of these caps this season. This included the A's black caps, KC's powder blues, Mets black hat, etc. Red Sox, Rockies, and Reds alts are still around. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took them long enough to recognize that all of their fans were wearing that instead of the full bird caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Do they really need to have these hats "listed," though? I go to a hat store and see Twins hats in every color imaginable. If the Marlins don't want to wear an orange hat, can't they still sell it as a "fashion cap" rather than making it official and not wearing it? Do fans that buy hats that a team does not wear really know or care if it's official?I guess I did not even know that some of these hats are "officially" "on-field," e.g, "hanging sox" or black Reds hat. But I cannot imagine that status really sells a lot of caps.

VikWings Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 The fact that the *Marlins orange hat and Rockies purple hat aren't worn on the field anymore is a shame.I also always liked this Mets hat even if it was BFBS*I still think the Marlins logo is awful and is too big on the hats for no reason, but the orange hat/jersey is the only part of their new identity I like.

phutmasterflex Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 For the longest time at the A's team store, they would sell the black cap from the early 2000s even though they hadn't worn it in over a decade. Still a very popular cap among fans Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a very popular cap among fansWhich is so weird to me. I never liked the black one (or green bill). I always thought that their best cap was their home, and that they should wear it home/road/alt/sunday/wednesday/etc. That cap is perfect.But then again, if A's fans like the black one, that's all that really matters.

FinalBeast Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 The Braves hat with the tomahawk in the A which was originally paired with the original red jersey, is the first that comes to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discrim Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Well, given they tweaked the red jersey's script so it's dotted with stars and there's no tomahawk underneath it anymore, about the only jerseys they could pair the tomahawk A cap with...are the whites and grays, which I figure it would never have been paired with. A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonFromMiami Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I think that hat could go with both the white, grey and blue jersey. Even better then the red in fact, since the red jersey was so "loud" on it´s own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the best of my knowledge they have not wore the hat since early 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
