I noticed the Pirates wore a different cap. Last year's S&S?

Nope, they have their own camo hat, with the three-color desert pattern, not the ACU camo used last year.

MLB shop only bills it as a 2013 cap, but IIRC, it was worn last year as well. http://shop.mlb.com/....1452860.707608

Why they insist on using a camo pattern that not a single branch of the military still uses is beyond me.

EDIT - Last year's Stars and Stripes hat for comparison - notice the Pirates 3 color camo cap features a raised logo, this one has a flat logo and a raised outline:

Wow... seems kind of pointless to have two caps so similar, but then again, the Pirates do that with their regular look, too. And of course the point of S&S is debatable, as witnessed here every year.

But thanks for clearing that up for me, Anubis.

I've usually defended the S&S caps, but this just seals it for me. The entire thing has become a gimmick. The flag-within-the-logo I liked at first, but then it got old. Last year's ones I felt were bad, but could've been worse. These, combined with the jerseys, are just a joke. Just wear a camo jersey for warmup if you must and put a flag patch on your cap, and be done with it.

Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

Aaaaand of course they ruin it by not wearing the orange cap. I assume they didn't wear the orange helmets either?

The only time they wore the orange helmets was in that one spring training game. They wore the orange caps like 3 times last year.

Absolutely. Even though it doesn't match anything in their scheme.

That's a fashion hat they've sold for maybe ten years now, but I don't think it refers to anything they've ever worn. Certainly not the American League club, and possibly not even the IL club which proceeded it.

This is the cap in question:

I'm all for this. Seriously.

From the article: "In case you forgot, the angry bird made it’s return last season partially due to Buck showing it off.

Angry bird? haha! I don't think anyone thinks the cartoon bird on the hat is angry. The only angry bird I've seen is the one graphic where it's batting.

Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.
