Brian E 418 Posted February 24 noticed something kind of weird. it seems like, at least in mets camp, there's a second version of the ST cap that is constructed like a traditional trucker hat. look at these pictures of francisco lindor and david peterson, and the presser clip of edwin diaz. seems obvious that the back panel is a more traditional mesh. and you can see in the lindor picture that the front two panels are a more traditional polyester blend (note, too, how the logo is more obviously raised than it is on the diamond era version). anyone else notice this in any other camp? https://twitter.com/AnthonyDiComo/status/1363235235836624897/photo/1 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if this is something experimental and they are collecting player feedback? The plan could be to use this leaguewide next spring. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only will be used on hats, and apparently no sleeve patches (because apparently the two current patches couldn't be replaced...'tis stupid). https://www.mlb.com/angels/fans/60th-anniversary They have two different versions of the anniversary logo? The one on the left is from the webpage and the one on the right is from the Twitter video. I much prefer the one on the left. The placement of "Angels Baseball" and "60th Anniversary" on the right is rough and I don't really like the inclusion of the MLB logo. I also don't really like inclusion of an actual diamond on either. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The one on the right just has too many things that are redundant. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yac12 97 Posted February 24 New Era has had these mesh back fitted hats out for few years now. Past years it looked like the game hats. This is the first I have seen them with the batting practice front. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkeypower 3,145 Posted February 24 On 2/23/2021 at 12:02 PM, WSU151 said: 60th anniversaries are common in baseball. And they've also become popular in the NFL...all/almost all teams from the AFL had 60th anniversary logos in 2019, along with the Eagles, Browns, Steelers, Cowboys, Lions, and Vikings in their respective years. I'm good with sports teams doing anniversaries on the decades and on the quarters. I don't need a 15th or a 35th or a 65th, but a 60th, 70th, and 80th are fine. It's probably more of a minor league venture, but I do think it would be kind of funny for a team to buck the trend once and celebrate an arbitrary year (not like the decades and the quarters aren't arbitrary themselves) like their 12th anniversary or their 27th. Maybe not for a whole year, but maybe just a weekend or something. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marlins93 1,105 Posted February 24 New Era unveils a lot of dumb concepts for spring training, but I can't imagine that mesh hats would ever become the standard for one of their product cycles. Aesthetics aside, these hats offer very minimal sun protection for people with short or no hair. Not very ideal for Florida or Arizona weather, obviously. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In case we, you know, forgot who the team was. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure the players just want to keep cool. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They’ve been putting the names on the home replicas for about a decade now, and it’s always looked amateurish. Not sure why they wanna extend that to the field. This team just keeps chipping away at their look, man. I hate it. It’s Braves level unnecessary and dumb. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
