no97 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Cubs-Bears (whoa, never noticed that before) hat and a White Sox-Bears hat.Yeah, the Bears took that name after moving to Wrigley Field, and abandoning the Staleys name. Halas wanted something to capatalize on the Cubs popularity, and wanted something "meaner," so went with Bears...You've gott follow the twisted logic on this one, and realize that if they wanted to do a Bears cap, they'd color a Cincinnati Reds cap navy and orange. However, that one might be lawsuit central, so I doubt it'll be made...What would be the point of a Red's cap in Bears colors, when you can just buy a regular Bears cap? Especially since the two wishbone "C's" are different...Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronChefShark Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Yeah, the Bears took that name after moving to Wrigley Field, and abandoning the Staleys name. Halas wanted something to capatalize on the Cubs popularity, and wanted something "meaner," so went with Bears...the story I always heard was that the football team was also called the Cubs at the time, but Halas stated that football players were bigger than baseball players (that's debatable nowadays of course). So he thought that since baseball players are "Cubs", football players should be "Bears" US state flag concepts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HatManTC Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 You've gott follow the twisted logic on this one, and realize that if they wanted to do a Bears cap, they'd color a Cincinnati Reds cap navy and orange. However, that one might be lawsuit central, so I doubt it'll be made. Also, I believe the Giants once used an "NY" quite similar to the Yankees', so once again, you might be entering sketchy legal territory with that crossover.why would there be a lawsuit, it doesnt not say Chicago, chicago bears,bears or has an NFL shield anywhere on it. it just takes the colors of the team. so how could they sue them?i actually like these. i noticed them yesterday while i was at work. i think the black/burg.

Diablo de Tejas Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Is there a Rangers in Cowboy colors?Nope. Looks like the Oilers/Titans to me...Why the heck would they do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HatManTC Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Why the heck would they do that?because some fashion hat wearers will refuse to wear a reebok hat and only wear a NE 5950. so this is their way of making money off people that want something to go with their football jerseys. by RoscoeUA by gingerbreadman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diablo de Tejas Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I think a Rangers hat with Cowboys colors would be cool.Problem is, what color combo would they use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially since the two wishbone "C's" are different...MooseYou are mostly right, except the part about capitalizing on the Cubs' popularity. That is untrue. Even after the Black Sox scandal, the Cubs were the second most popular team. Even if they would have been move popular, it wouldn't have been enough where the Bears could "capitalize" on their name. The Bears took their name as a tribute to the Cubs for letting them play in Wrigley. It was common in early football to give teams similar names to the baseball clubs in that city/stadium - Bears-Cubs, Lions-Tigers, Giants-Giants, Yankees-Yankees (AFL).

IronChefShark Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 the SF Giants/49ers hats should be dark red with a white SF outlined in gold and a black drop shadow. but thats not what they did obviously US state flag concepts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why they make these hats.i already knew this and have known this for years. what i was saying. a lot of fashion hat people WILL NOT wear a reebok hat. so if they want something to match lets just a browns hat and i show them a perfectly fine reebok hat to go with a throwback Jim Brown jersey. they'd pass on it because it has the VECTOR on the side of it and it is not a NEW ERA hat.if you were to take you typical fashion hat wearer and put 2 similiar hats in front of them, that go with an outfit. One being a reebok hat and one being a New Era hat. 9 out of 10 times they would pick the NE hat. by RoscoeUA by gingerbreadman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloPoErich Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I bought a St. Louis Cardinals hat in Rams colors about 3 or 4 years ago and I finally had to quit wearing it just this year... I loved it since i could wear it to both Cards and Rams games... i'm just a broke college student remember.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I am also suprised no Bears cap was made like this. The Cubs one would be easy, seeing as there is a C on it. For the White Sox cap, they could use the cursive C from the late 80s. I would consider buying that cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSU151 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 they took a team with the same intials and changed up the colors to mimick football teams.Once people figure this out, they're going to be a lot happier and understand what's going on. Seattle Mariners' "S" is done with the Saints and Seahawks colors...Cincinnati Reds' "C" is for Chicago (Bears) and Cincinnati (Bengals)...the Indians' "I" was done in Indianapolis blue and white...the Boston Red Sox "B" was done for Buffalo and Baltimore and the Browns...Pittsburgh Pirates' "P" was done for the Patriots and Packers...Detroit Tigers' "D" is Detroit Lions colors and Dallas Cowboys colors...Texas Rangers' "T" is in Titans colors, and so on.

I also understand that they are not sticking to just teams from the same city.On my monitor, those two hats you linked to look black instead of navy. I figured they were for the Bengals.
