SilverBullet1929 Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Question, does anyone know which old Indians cap inspired the ASG caps with the piping on the sides? I'm curious because I have no recollection of any Indians cap with that design and usually these ASG caps are inspired by an old design from the host team.

It's probably just a design that would have been used no matter who got the game this year. I can't think of any design that used that other than possibly a cap from the 1920's. https://tribevibe.mlblogs.com/cleveland-indians-were-first-mlb-team-to-wear-numerals-on-uniforms-100-years-ago-sunday-f01f8a654c93 The Indians also tried putting numbers on the sleeves only for identifying players, and after one year it was shelved. Later on the Yankees announced the numbers would be placed on the back of the uniform. Cleveland followed suit immeidately and thus still wore them first because the Yankees home opener was rained out and the Indians game was not.

Mmm...not sure on that. If the Rays got the game, I doubt they'd use this particular style. I do think it's some homage to Cleveland baseball history. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is how lazy they've been with the wording on it, but since the Caveman C is being used as well I can see it as a tie-in to Cleveland's past. But if that's the case they should have made the batting practice jerseys match that idea as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Caveman C is being used for July 4th, not the ASG...regular block C will be used for the ASG. The Indians out to bring back the seam piping, and add a white outlined to the block C next year. It's a sharp looking hat. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

Yup that's correct. Which is even more annoying to me as that design would look so much better with the Block C instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 There was piping on the Indians' coaches caps at some point in the 70's. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I appreciate that they’re doing up the helmets, but the treatment on that one is a bit off. Stripes are too thick. The Royals have been promoting the game with this awesome poster. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, they could’ve used red for the Twins and Indians and Orange for the Astros. Also there’s probably only like 10 teams represented up there. Especially the NL, only 5 teams, Cubs, Brewers, Rockies, Dodgers, and Braves, 4 of them include blue of some kind. But there is is a point, blue is over used in the MLB, but it’s been like that for over half a century so it’s not like much will change Follow the NFA, and My Baseball League here: https://ahsports.boardhost.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
