The Mojo Maniac Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 So along the lines of jake22's campaign to get the Rockies to wear striped stirrups, I too have an ambitious goal, and that is to get the Seattle Mariners to wear their teal bill caps at home full-time. It's great that they have brought them back to wear for Monday and Friday home games with the teal jerseys, but they would brighten up the regular home whites considerably. Right now the navy on white is so overplayed; the Tigers, Yankees, Red Sox, Rays, Padres, and Brewers all wear solid navy caps at home and this would be the perfect time for the Mariners to continue to make teal their own once again. And I admit there's a little bit of nostalgia there too since they wore the teal bills during the glory days of '95 and even a little bit into the 2001 season, and they were worn by the likes of Buhner, Junior, Edgar and the Big Unit. I plan on making it out to a few games this summer and attempting to contact the powers that be, as well as maybe talking to the players about it while they are making their rounds signing autographs before game time. Wish me luck! From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportstar1212 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Good luck man. I really hope you can try and convince the team to do this. I really think that teal-billed cap would look awesome with the homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw11333 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Do they wear them semi regularly now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mojo Maniac Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 Do they wear them semi regularly now?Currently they only wear them with the teal alt jerseys. They haven't worn them with the regular home whites since 2002, but even that year they only wore them twice. From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo.

loogodude90 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I agree that the teal bill should be the home cap and the all navy should be the away.Other than any potential sales issues (i.e., the team wanting to sell more caps by having two different ones), I think the M's would benefit from wearing the teal-billed cap full-time.That's what the O's did (well, with the orange bill) and it just makes the uniform look so much brighter and more lively. It also does a better job of embracing a team's more "unique" color, which I think more teams need to do.

CrazyAnna Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Not really fan of the teal bill. I prefer when our and other teams' hats/bills are the same color. The Pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But your little creation there makes me begin to wonder what an all teal M's cap would look like on the field. From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo.

It doesn't matter whether you're a lion or a gazelle.

Sport Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 navy blue and teal is such a great color scheme. It's nice to see the Mariners starting to inch more teal back into their look. Did you know, the Mariners have now worn navy blue and teal longer than they wore blue and yellow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And actually, the all-navy caps were first worn at home in 1997, and they were gradually phased out until they were worn for the last time in May or June of 2002. From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo.

Gothamite Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Their sets should be like this:Ah, I was right with you until that last one.The blue-jersey look is so drab, it is in desperate need of a teal bill. If they're going to wear it at all, that's where they should wear it.I'd use the all-navy cap with home and roads, and the alternate cap with both alternate jerseys.
