Not sure if it's uniform-wide but the purple on the caps has changed. At first I thought it was a horrible idea because I like the blue violet they use instead of the more reddish purple crayon color but looking at that pic I like it because it's still the blue violet just brighter instead of being a different hue. With that said I'd love to see something official on this because if we're just going by that website it could absolutely just be a lighting issue.

Sarcasm? ...You do see the Rockies cap in the bottom right of the photo, right? That's what daveindc is referring to... Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

I'm wondering if that's the new one. Yeah, but look at how bright the colors are - the red brims are almost pink. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Interesting the Padres taco alternate caps do not have the flag (as of yet) - maybe because it's an imported cap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aawagner011 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Really hoped the Braves would receive a red NE logo...consider me disappointed. Really downgrades the aesthetic. The baseball cap was always one of the last pure things left unbranded in sports. I'm sad. Somewhat related, but I've always been a big fan of the Diamond Era spring training caps...my interest will probably decline now. Likely won't buy unless it's a really killer design. Had all of the other Diamond Era Braves caps. Thank heavens I already have the NE-free home cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They co-mingled 2016 hats into the filter.. And imported caps have the flag too. The old non-flagged caps are still available and still 34.99 on Lids. https://www.lids.com/washington-nationals-new-era-mlb-authentic-collection-59fifty-cap/20518347 Smart is believing half of what you hear.

BC985 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 The Cardinals have a (terrible) logo marking their 125th anniversary. I'd bet it will be a sleeve patch this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 On first blush, I like it as an accent color against the black. Bright enough to have good contrast. I don't think it's strong enough to be used as a primary, though. I don't think that'll look good as undershirt sleeves or socks, so they'll probably have to use black. Which is a shame.

Ray Lankford Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I think it looks amazing and I'm glad Colorado is finally embracing the color that is wholly theirs (and not continuing with a glorified dark blue). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet1929 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I'm sorry but I'm not buying into this lighter Rockies shade without some clearer evidence. Every single bit of evidence so far could be nothing more than a lighting issue. Give me a statement from the team or a side by side comparison of the new and the old shades. Even if it is true, the amount of change could still be a lighting issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
