Very well said.I found another one for The Fugly Awards, but this one doesn't look fake, just sad. With a color-scheme-creep. Everybody's favorite add-to-the-color-scheme-color....Black! Go Gators.

TBGKon Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 why do you question that these are counterfeits? Fashion caps are made every year and can look like anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epiphanic Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 The first one is absolutely appaling. But I can see the locals at Del Boca Vista donning those lids before a rousing game of canasta.As for the second, I sympathize with the excess of black in virtually every color scheme. On the merit of the hat itself, I think it looks pretty good. Black is really the only color for it, maybe white. If you did the purple (or whatever the D-Rays' secondary color is) it'd look terrible. "In the arena of logic, I fight unarmed."I tweet & tumble.

powersurge Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 why do you question that these are counterfeits? Fashion caps are made every year and can look like anything.Yeah, take a stroll through a Wal-Mart or Sears clothing department and you'll see some of the worst hats and T-shirts you've ever seen.

Epiphanic Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Why else do they offer those low, low prices? Only way to get that crap of the shelves. "In the arena of logic, I fight unarmed."I tweet & tumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodboy13 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I'm far more intrigued by this.Anyone notice something about the team name?

Epiphanic Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Yeah, no "Devil." Was the issue of renaming the team ever resolved? And if so, what was the "winning" name? "In the arena of logic, I fight unarmed."I tweet & tumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee. Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 What's really sad is that I won that top hat out of a claw machine in Fargo, ND one day.What's even sadder is that I was trying to win it. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappital92 Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I personally like that hat.I have one like that,execpt it's for the Astros with the 90's logo. http://www.wizardsxtra.com Is it the shoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazberg Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I'm far more intrigued by this.Anyone notice something about the team name?I wouldn't read too much into that; the copyright is from last year and it's a girl's shirt, so they're prolly just going for a more innocent look.As for that first hat, it screams mid-90's, and I have a few similar looking ones of various other teams. I guess cream colored-stuff and elegant typefaces were kinda like today's black and piping.... charles-noerenberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunford Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 For fun in 2002, I worked for one day as a beer vendor at Al Lang Field. I got a t-shirt and hat to look professional. The shirt read "Tampa Bay Rays." So, no, that's nothing new.By the way, tip your beer vendors. They work hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
