On Orioles' Twitter account, there are images of Buck Showalter wearing an all-black cap with the orange 'B' from the O's road 'Baltimore' jerseys. Has a New Era logo on the side and may be made from a different material. Could be our first look at the 2018 BP caps.

Good call.  That's definitely the same "B" as the road jersey.

Looks like an On-Field cap looking at these pics: (Click the arrow that appears on the right of the image to scroll through)

If anything I hope they get rid of the New Era logo on the side for all teams. I realize that isn't gonna happen, but I still don't like it for the on field hats. I loved that they were different than fashion fitted hats. Everyone knew it was a New Era hat, no need to add the logo.

 

Oh well.

Man, I’d settle for a tonal flag (same color as the hat crown [think hatclub customs]) or the flag in team colors.

Indians flag in red, marlins in orange, cardinals in navy blue. 

 

Hide em a little.

Cant disagree with this. Tonal flags would absolutely be the best (dare to dream), but yeah they could at least match the flags. Some of them stick out like a sore thumb.

I understand that the commissioner is reluctant to force a team to make a change, but c’mon.  It’s 2017.  It gets more unacceptable every year. 

What's unacceptable is that people tend to jump to conclusions on the whole Wahoo thing and refuse to consider the other side's arguments.

How many meetings do the commissioner and the Indians ownership need to have about this? It's getting absurd.

Yeah I keep thinking the same. Both sides have made clear what their opinions are. Make a decision already. It's not like anything ever really changes with this thing.

I don't care about Wahoo one way or the other, but one question I have for those screaming for it's removal...if the logo is so offensive, then how about offering up a replacement Indian logo that isn't offensive?  That would seem like a reasonable way to reach a compromise on this, IMO.  To just say get rid of it and be done with it isn't gonna fly in this case.

I don’t think there is such thing as an acceptable logo featuring an Indian. In my opinion, the only way Cleveland gets a new logo that is not something like the block C or cursive I is by changing the name of the franchise.

Everyone has heard the other side’s arguments. They all boil down to “I like it, it’s always been that way, it doesn’t offend ME, so they should keep it” or “THE PC POLICE STRIKE AGAIN!!!!”

 

So there’s really no argument.

Having a team maintain an existing respectful Native American logo (a la the Blackhawks or Seminoles) is one thing, but debuting a brand new Native American logo in the year 2017 would be completely counterproductive. Not every team needs a logo that related to their nickname, and that's doubly true when a team is named after Native Americans.

 

I know the block C is criticized for being boring and/or muddled, but I think that can largely be solved by a simple outline. I've mocked up a few potential versions. Personally, I like the one on the far left - a white logo outlined in red. It'd distinguish the Indians well from the Red Sox and Cardinals, and I think it'd look pretty distinctive.

The only workable way forward using imagery would be a Spokane Indians approach and partner with a tribe or tribes with roots in NE Ohio and have the tribes drive the boundaries for the use of imagery.,

 

But Wahoo people want their awful cartoon. There's really no compromise with that.

The Cleveland Indians existed before Chief Wahoo and they can exist after him. I gave it a lot of slack as a classic baseball logo but here in the renaissance of white supremacists it's not worth defending anymore.

Orioles are overdue for a B logo alternate hat. Get rid of the O's hat and add this 

 

Agreed 100%

That looks much better than I expected.  Definitely better than the O's hat, which is way overdue to be put out to pasture.

Why not? 

 

I don't think the pro-Wahoo people are really all that interested in any old mascot logo.  They're pro-Wahoo.

Yeah, because it's their team and they like things they way they've always been (or have been for most of their lifetimes). When people come after the Blackhawks next -- and they will, no matter how much you hear "the Blackhawks are respectful," they will -- I'm not going to say that maybe we can compromise by writing "Chicago Blackhawks" in the Sauk language or something, I just won't want them to change anything because that's my team and I like the way they've always looked. Sports are sentimental and dumb like that. I recognize that Wahoo has to go now but I understand why people want it preserved in amber, so to speak.
