I thought it was just the color change on the batter man logo? The 2011 released have the tail of the fish breaking from the white M also the batterman is blue/orange (logo on the left) The 2012 and beyond have the tail shorten and batterman is black/orange (logo on the right) I've only seen it on the orange 2011 released, black caps have been the same since day 1 as far as I know.

BBTV Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Looks like the logo on right is positioned lower as well.

Wow, I have both of these caps and have never noticed the difference until now. When I got the first one in 2011 with the tail breaking into the white I noticed this wasn't on the black cap that I got on the same day but when I bought my 2nd orange cap last year I didn't realize that that little detail was gone. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yippy Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Can't wait to pick up a new Marlins cap at Lids today. I might even buy a Padres one as well. I like where the Padres are with their look. I would never wear a brown hat so it helps grow my collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the same reason why I cherish the original Marlins orange cap so much because of that. It's a rare cap that so few people notice. Go A's!

Lights Out Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 The saddest part of how the Brewers are juggling three different identities is that the only one they're neglecting is also the only one that actually looked good.

I liked that set. I saw this Budweiser wordmark, and it made me think of that Brewers wordmark, though A-B has nothing to do with Milwaukee... Smart is believing half of what you hear.

Ray Lankford Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Manfred's talking about shortening commercial breaks as a way of speeding up the game but presumably the league would need to make up that loss in revenue somehow and I can think of one way for the league to do so that everyone's going to hate.

More advertisements behind home plate? Managers holding up advertisements while talking to the announcers? Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Watching the wbc this morning I saw them do an in-game set of advertisements where, during an inactive point of the game, they slightly shrunk the screen and at the bottom they displayed the logos of a 3-4 companies that they said were "global sponsors" of the world baseball classic. The commentators just said "here are some of the global sponsors of the world baseball classic..." and they just read off the names of the companies and went right back to the game. I could see something like this happening. It was brief and it plugged sponsors, but it wasn't intrusive like 2 minute long breaks where we go through tedious commercials.

It's also possible to have sponsors for particular events. In my day the Yankees' home runs were called "Getty goners" or were greeted by the announcement "hey, Graig Nettles (or whoever), this Bud's for you". And before that they were "Ballantine blasts".
