MLB hats that would benefit from different colored bill

It would look fantastic.

I liked the white and gray caps we saw in the 1990s.

I had a white crowned Red Sox hat with blue pinstripes and a blue bill when I was like 5 or 6. It killed me when I lost it. I loved that hat.

Edit: IIRC it looked pretty much like this, except it was a kids snapback.

I like the Dodgers' blue cap with the white brim. Not sure if it's an official BP cap or not, and I've seen some variations with silver, but either way, it doesn't bother me.

I also think the Blue Jays would look okay with a white brim as an alternative to the white-paneled cap (which they really should bring back full-time).

Dodgers home BP is white, away BP grey.

Tampa Bay. Powder blue bills would help to separate them from all of the other teams that use dark blue as their hat color.

I think they should be using that "Columbia" blue altogether. It would certainly be one less navy blue cap in the league, and it would look better.

But most teams don't put their primary logo on their hat? I feel like we're talking about two different things.

Some teams use their primary logo on the cap, but 90% uses the secondary, i.e a specific cap logo, according to www.sportslogos.net that is

Worth noting that Cleveland's primary is their "C" cap logo. So what exactly is the problem with potentially replacing Wahoo with a different secondary logo?

Ever since the rays tried the new colors, I wanted this too. Imagine the balance of light to dark blue that UNC has in baseball for the rays....it just might work and it would be original:

The Rays even worn light blue socks in Sunday's game to honor Grant Balfour's father who passed away a week ago and was involved with the establishment of the Sudney Blue Sox.

The Rays don't even need to go that far. Just make the brim light blue on their cap, wear it home and road with a matching batting helmet, change the letters on the blue at to light blue and put a light blue outline on the home and road jerseys. Oh, and put "Tampa Bay" on the roads. That takes a horribly bland jersey set and makes it really good.

But what exactly should that logo be ? They are called the Indians, so obviously either primary or secondary logo must be a Indian, or what ? CanĀ“t be a Tomahawk, so what is left, a tee-pee or maybe a pipe, surely that will offend some people. What would you suggest ?

The ONLY cap that doesn't use some type of lettermark on their cap is the Blue Jays. Indians use the C on the road, and even the Orioles use the O's logo on the bird's cap.

Something Cleveland-based?

Then again, teams like the Brewers, Twins, Cubs, Giants, A's, Rangers, Phillies and Dodgers manage to have primary logos that are neither just the cap logo nor feature a picture of the mascot. So if you're suggesting Wahoo has to be kept because they can't possibly come up with a new secondary logo, then I would chalk it up to a failure of imagination.

This would look better for them:
