THRILLHO Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 The thing I keep thinking about today looking at these hats is that even though they’re all just terrible I know when I show up to spring training there will be many people wearing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tp49 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Those hats are collectively awful. What's worse than those hats is that they want $41 for a 5950. However, there's always some schmuck who'd buy one...but it won't be me. Congratulations New Era for curing me of my hat buying habit. Whatever will I do with all the money I save this year instead of using it for your awful product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coco1997 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I think I'd like the Astros one a lot more if the "H" was white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FiddySicks Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 8 hours ago, MattMill said: Sigh. The Giants designs always frustrate me to no end. They’re either a TOTAL disaster (Orange BP caps with a black SF and a tan outline ), or they’re so stupidly close to being great, but they botch one small element that totally ruins the entire look. This is the ultimate example of the second case. Just change the white stitching to black, FFS. Then you have a cap that’s got a bit of understated flair and adds another element that works really well, has a bit of a nod to history, (Bonds single season record) which you could even pair with that weird black alt. But, nope. They go and add white, when they haven’t worn white uniforms in over twenty years On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

jp1409 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 These feel like April fools'. They can't be serious selling such train wrecks for over $40, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is absolute dog s The only good ones of the whole ST caps are Toronto, Detroit, Houston, Colorado, Arizona, and Of course, Minnesota. That Orioles cap is absolutely the worst of these awful caps. I’ll never buy that monstrosity. Ever. Same as the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjd77 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 ...not to mention besides the awful hats, most of the Nike t shirts that are now for sale on various websites are very underwhelming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are just down right terrible. Why do I get the feeling they promoted rather than fired the "mastermind" behind the monochromatic player's weekend uniforms?

MattMill Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Interestingly, the better caps aren't quite straight copy and pastes. There's a bit more leeway on a few. Astros. the logo they show on the side doesn't match up with the color scheme on the front of the cap Tigers. They sort of went with a zoomed in tiger stripe pattern. Twins. They used their state outline from their alternate and didn't use those cartoon baseball guys. I was expecting a TC with a barely visible handshake. Sometimes less is more. I'm surprised they were able to do that. Now the laziest and worst are the scripts. Congrats to Oakland, Philadelphia, and Cleveland. Four of the red caps were allowed to use a red background to their respective red dominant logos, so it sort of creates some unity. The majority had no real thought process. They should've just used the side patch as their main Front logo and they wouldn't need to put it in two spots (per MLB/new era rules) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattMill Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 And as if New era didn't think highly enough of it's consumers, they had to do a black/white spring training color way. As if they weren't hard enough to make out in color. Lol.

TrueYankee26 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Maybe the Orioles hat was designed by Gleyber Torres. My lord the Orioles hat looks embarrassing. trueyankee26.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRIAR_BOLT_619 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 The padres might have the most controversial one of them all, Its to hilarious to think they didn't see what looks like a swastika, by putting the sd in the friar lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 The worst is by far that Cincinnati Reds cap. I mean, this is just straight up creepy.

MattMill Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 ^marlins too. https://www.mlbshop.com/miami-marlins/mens-miami-marlins-new-era-black-2020-spring-training-59fifty-fitted-hat/t-25449815+p-4739514505365+z-9-2253452068?_ref=p-CLP:m-GRID:i-r18c0:po-54 they literally used the same marlin and placed him just inside of the other marlin, but you now get those weird M lines inside of the second marlin. It’s blowing my mind how badly thought out these were. Yet we see a sportslogos interview on the front page and they’re calling it a joint effort and really cool. How far out of reality are these higher ups? they say fashion and custom caps are really in. Is this their best try at it? We know about the players weekend. So I think this is along the same lines.

mpcincal Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Yeah, those spring training caps are bad, especially for my two favorite teams, the Angels and the Padres. I go to Arizona every spring to see some games and try to get a couple new caps, because they're always a bit different from the regular caps, but I'm not buying any of these. The only ones that are passable are the Twins and Blue Jays, but that's it. The Clubhouse caps for the Angels and Padres look pretty good, however. I might try to pick those up.
