tubby34 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 The Yellow Billed Pirates hat looks so much better then the Mets version, and the Mustard Gold Pirates hat is easily one of my favorite hats right now. I had the chance to buy a authentic from Lids for $6 a few months back when they were clearanced out and discounted further. Glad they revived it for a permanent alternate.Now if only I can find the Brooklyn Dodgers A/C cap.Anyone who's seen the BP caps, are they the same material as the game caps and can you say without specifics how many teams went with a different colored cap (Example: Navy Angels cap) and how many actually look bad of the 30 teams?

CalgaryJaysFan Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 From the MLB.com article: The Pirates also introduced, in conjunction with Major League Baseball, a new Pirates Batting Practice Cap. The cap is black with a gold bill and the Pirates “P” on the front in gold. The new cap, which was developed by New Era, is lighter in weight and more breathable with a structured high crown cap.Too bad it doesn't say anything more about the material. I'm still very surprised they didn't release these for the holiday spending season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackjack76 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 hmm same style as the Mets new alt cap, alternate colored bill with white outlined logo.Perhaps that's how the BP caps will be styled?No - some of them will be somewhat surprising.(That's all I'll say.)Are they the same material as the current game caps?And does this mean we'll be getting the All Star BP caps in 59Fifty as well?! Not at all. Brand spankin' new construction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mojo Maniac Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 When will these new caps be available for purchase? I'm sure as heck gonna buy one and I'm hoping the Mariners decide to bring back the compass/silver bill combo! From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo.

phutmasterflex Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I'm not a Pirates fan but I own three different Pirates caps and adding to their new alts and these BP ones, I might be adding two more. I really like it and it's nice to see that the gold brim balances well with the logoEDIT: A's promotional schedule is out http://oakland.athle...ns.jsp?c_id=oakOn July 27, they're going with 1969 throwbacksAnd since April 27 will honor the 1973 team, they might wear throwbacks from that era too. There are a lot of options for them Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDwas Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 As per ColorWerx's comment on the new BP caps, I can 100% confirm that they are surprising. Maybe Definitely too surprising for my liking. Tomorrow's just your future yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mania Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 The following T-Shirt is being given away with a premium package to "SoxFest" in January.I think, combined with the Cooperstown Collection stuff for 2013, it paints a clear picture for what they're doing with their alternate for next season.

sorcerer77 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Pirates actually had this style of hat for a couple years around 2003, it was their alternate, teamed with the black jersey, which had a touch of red in the graphics. Back then, the "P" didn't have the white border we see today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 That white bordered P might be the most unnecessary alt logo in recent memory, though the Mets outlined NY is a close second.

Billy B Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 That white bordered P might be the most unnecessary alt logo in recent memory, though the Mets outlined NY is a close second.I get that the alternate P matches the alternate jersey, but they should have just made that a plain yellow P with no outline instead of adding an unnecessary hat. It's not like gold on black is hard to see or anything. I really like the gold billed hats and I'm fine with having the white outline on those if it matches the BP jerseys.I'm actually a fan of the Mets alternate hat. Since they decided to go with an orange bill (which I like) it doesn't bother me that they added an outline to the logo to match the jerseys. I just hope they don't wear that with the road alts because it would defeat the purpose of having gray lettering. I don't think they'll do that though.

Jungle Jim Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 First, we learn that the Astros orange caps will return, and now that the Pirates mustard yellow caps will return, and I am ecstatic about both! There truly is a Santa Claus!On the other hand, I have been sporting these two caps for years and liked being unique and getting comments from people who remembered and appreciated them. I haven't seen anyone else in my area of the country wearing them. Now I'll look like just another person wearing whatever is current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a story there?
