JJHoser Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 So I have been looking at logos, teams, and batting practice hats around the MLB lately and have been thinking of ways that I think teams could better use the freedoms of batting practice hat design. So many teams had great opportunities to create a masterpiece when the new Diamond Era BP hats were being designed, but many of them dropped the ball. So for some teams I am suggesting a full on replacement, and others I am simply suggesting they use designs like mine as an alternate or road bp hat. First off let's start with the Tampa Bay Rays:This team wanted to be able to create an identity that the Fans could choose the meaning of when they changed from Devil Rays to just Rays. This could imply the Ray fish population found around Tampa, or it could suggest the golden rays of sunshine encountered daily in Florida. They already have the BP hats that feature the Sunray logo, but they barely use the Devil Ray fish logo. So, I designed a hat that could cater to the needs of fans like me who LOVE the Devil Ray.I suggest that this could replace the powder blue crown alternate hat, with the sunray on it, as the new alternate. It features an old Devil Rays logo that I edited to look modern and match the current uniform set. Colorado Born and Raised!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raysfan12 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I love the Rays BP cap because it's nice to see the Devil Ray return to the cap. I might have to buy one if it were real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not just the front two panels of the hat. However, now that I think about it, the front gold panels could look beautiful, like a Brewers version of the beautiful orioles bp hat.

JJHoser Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Here is the Chicago Cubs:I hate that they just took their old Road hat from the early 2000's and switched to colors of the C inside out and called that a batting practice hat. I think any of these 3 would fill in as a much better BP hat. Colorado Born and Raised!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
