This is something Manfred may have handled personally with where he stands on it Thome said it’s what he wanted. I’ll take his word that he didn’t want the vocal anti-Wahoo crowd on his case.

This is something Manfred may have handled personally with where he stands on it As @Gothamite pointed out the Hall is independent of MLB. Manfred can’t force them to do anything. So I think you’re just going to have to accept that Thome didn’t want to go in wearing a Wahoo cap.

Ah yes, that's what I meant. I knew they were separate but don't know why I grouped them together. I meant the governing body of the Hall and I think I just said MLB out of laziness without realizing what a huge difference it actually is.

SilverBullet1929 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 That A's cap is interesting. Not in love with it but it's unique. I actually question if the elephant is recognizable enough to a non baseball fan who doesn't understand that the A's are loosely represented by an elephant. The shape is a bit of a blob at a glance I'm someone who absolutely knows it's an elephant. And 1000% yes to returning to diamond era. This year's material was absolutely a step backwards.

AnPheitseog Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 I love the de material. Wouldn't mind at all if the game caps were made of it. Formerly known as DiePerske Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t want to see it on an actual game cap (other than TBTC), but so long as BP caps are a thing that’s a place to experiment. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

The_Admiral Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 It needs to be the white elephant logo that already exists.

OaklandIsBack Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I like it, don't love it. The elephant logo BP hat from 3-4ish years ago was a huge hit, saw tons of them at games. The really should just bring that back (without the stupid outlines) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeypower Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Maybe bring back this one? Only semi-kidding. (Though I think this was more Spring Training, but it could still work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msu Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I'd like to see that A's elephant cap with an eye like the old logo had. I feel like it's too much of a blob without one. Even a small dot like the Bills throwback logo would work: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
