ConcreteCharlie Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 When did the Red Sox wear these white hats? Was it only 1997? If so then why is Whitey Bulger wearing it in this picture taken in 1994? Were they popular fashion hats that saw the field because of its popularity?

WSU151 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Fashion hat. On-field version only worn in 1997. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConcreteCharlie Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 Thanks. Interesting to see a fashion hat come out years before an identical hat takes the field. Even more interesting that Whitey wore it in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSU151 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Agreed on both. For some reason, to me, it looks like a possible stadium give-away kind of hat. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittSmith_95 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I like that hat a lot. Why don't teams wear white caps nowadays? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigers6884 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I like that hat a lot. Why don't teams wear white caps nowadays?Because white caps, like the pictures posted above, look like cheap gimmicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 They looked great on the Mets. They just didn't sell well enough. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see the Reds, Jays, Orioles and maybe a team like Arizona (With the purple colour set) pulling it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Cesarano Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I didn't like the Mets' or Red Sox' white caps.But I thought that they looked very good on the Reds.Also, white caps were a great look for the Philadelphia A's.I recently made a trip to Philly, and I picked up one of those A's caps in commemoration.

Discrim Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I think the White Sox could pull off a white cap. If the Nats didn't have so many caps already, I'd like to see them try a white cap too...and if they hadn't retired the snow whites (which made their debuts the same night the caps did), I'd say I'd want to see the Mets try them again. As far as teams I don't think could ever pull it off, as they are...Indians (Chief Wahoo was not made for a white cap. The block C was not made for any cap), Brewers (I'd be in favor of a gold-front cap though), Rangers, Rockies, Mariners, Astros, Pirates (though resurrecting the gray caps would work), Cubs (red would be a better fit, honestly), Orioles, Rays, Marlins (in all fairness though, nothing can save that look).

coco1997 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I think the White Sox could pull off a white cap.I gotta disagree with you on this one, Discrim. The Sox wear pinstripes and a solid white cap would clash with a pinstriped uniform, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Black piping would work, I think. Like some of the older Sox caps. A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buster Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 A white ChiSox cap would look great...because I have one. Black visor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 White cap (w or wo piping) black jersey, black pants, white socks w black stripe.

MJWalker45 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Indians (Chief Wahoo was not made for a white cap. The block C was not made for any cap),If they went with a blue bill, and a throwback style uniform, the Indians could pull it off. They actually wore white hats in the 1910's and 20's.
