The logo being primarily red would make it look like a solid red hat with navy bill and squatchee. Those contrasting elements look better when the logo is also (mostly) a contrasting color from the crown. The Angels former BP hats did that. Looked off. I actually really like this hat as is. I had one similar back in like 2000, only the all the yellow elements were white. It was back towards the end of when recolored hats were the craze. Good (squatchee isn't navy on this particular picture of the white B, but it usually is): Questionable: Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the all red hat with a red cardinal is too much. Fortunately the Springfield Cardinals have a nice Saturday cap that is close to what I have in mind.

BBTV Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Wish companies would stop slapping liberty bells on every philadelphia product, wish the Phillies would drop it from they logo, and wish it wasn't (along with Rocky) an unofficial "logo" for the city in general. I'll never use the term "lazy" to describe a design, but it's at best "un-imaginative" and cliche. Maybe that's what the Phillies wanted, but I hate it. Between these caps and the ones that use simply the 1992-2019 logo, really disappointed this year. It's a shame, because there's a lot of good ones buried in each series we've seen so far. 1 1 Quote "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

The 'S' is the dominant feature of the logo, so, IMO, it doesn't fall under the same category as the Cardinals and Angels. SIDE NOTE: Man, I haven't been to Hammons Field since my last day working there, almost 14-1/2 years ago. 1 Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Wind of Doom Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I... have... always been in the camp that finds the block W to be in the same camp I find the old and now new Yankees away gray. Not retro, but archaic and far too simple for modern usage. But the one used on the ST cap has enough weight and volume and texture that it is making me rethink the possibility. I don't know if going to white or red and losing one of the outlines will cause it to look less impressive and it obviously isn't workable as is, but it does intrigue me for possible future application in future identities.

aawagner011 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I’ll have to see the BP caps, but I’m a little disappointed by this move. Using the ST caps only for ST and a separate BP design means they don’t offer these without the patch. Not that the caps don’t look good (most do), but I always loved getting the ST caps without the patch. And when the low crown started becoming widely available, the low crown, no ST patch was my bread and butter. I really like the Braves look, but can’t see myself picking it up with the patch.

M59 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Love that the Orioles' ST cap is all orange. Hate that it's the "O's" logo. Won't be buying it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet1929 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Love the brightness, perfect for spring training, but the Reds Yankees and Angels didn't actually read the memo of what these caps would be for? Loving that purple for the Rockies! Man I want like a dozen of these lol. Is this the greatest spring training cap reveal in history? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tp49 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 In what might be a first I like the majority of these and would consider buying the 10-15 I have my eye on. I'd just really like a patchless version. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlins93 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I am a big fan of the spring training hat designs this year. They aren't all perfect, but at least this is a good concept. Much better than the trucker hat gimmick and that hilariously bad "logo within a logo" concept they tried for a few years. That was "launch it into the sun" bad. It's cool to see the Marlins with a blue hat. It's a nice change of pace from the mostly black/monochrome design aesthetic I associate with this set. However, the hat exposes some of the major design flaws with that logo, that have always bothered me. Basically the "M" logo doesn't really work well with other backgrounds that are not black. This was the case with the "old" blue jersey, too. It utilizes those blue/red double outlines that required a white trim in order to place it upon a blue background. Seeing the blue, red, and white together creates a kind of awkward eyesore. If you look at the other logos in this hat collection, you notice how so few of them have white trim. And the other ones that do (Atlanta, for example), are much easier on the eyes. I appreciate the Marlins trying to upgrade this set and emphasize the color more, but it's really not worth saving IMO. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hormone Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I was both excited and disappointed by these new hats. I was excited to see the trucker hat is gone and actual sewn on stuff in the era of heat pressed. I like a lot of designs and colors. I was disappointed seeing some basically recycled hats (as mentioned a few posts above), using old logos that they don’t use currently (hey here’s a 90s oriole hat, but just for warmups) and as a fan of the rays and pirates, I rushed to see what was available. Why grab the gold pirate hat when I just got their CC hat last year? I also have their all yellow players weekend. The BP looks very forced version of the pillbox. Ok I’ll check the rays. Same situation their ST is almost identical to the players weekend. I didn’t get a chance to see their BP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The day they were unveiled, young me thought it was a cool touch. Now I think it looks childish. I'm not sure if there's another example of a team who's squatchee doesn't tie into any other color on their cap.

Brave-Bird 08 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 A certain terrible human being ruined red ball caps for me. For the Braves, I would actually like to see a cap that incorporates yellow into a tri-color. It could be as subtle as a yellow squatchee on a BP cap that is otherwise in the conventional navy blue base and red brim (maybe trim the brim with yellow too). 1 2 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
