Survival79 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I searched and didn't see this anywhere else. I found it interesting that they are 100% wool, although it appears the low profile 59FIFTYs are still wool as well.Detroit Tigers Authentic Fitted Women's CapNew York Yankees Authentic Fitted Women's CapSan Francisco Giants Authentic Fitted Women's CapI would imagine these will see a limited release, like the low profile 59FIFTYs, which is a shame for those of us looking for an option to the billboard profile 59FIFTYs.

People will laugh at you and say "Dude, he's wearing a girls baseball hat!"From the pictures, they look pretty much like regular unisex baseball caps. What a stupid marketing ploy. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pittfan11 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Wow, really? I didn't know women could play in the MLB. Some of the dumbest crap I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I've seen these at Angels Stadium as far back as about two seasons ago. Don't seem that much different to me really, kinda sat higher (yeah, higher) and had more room in back if I remember correctly.

Having caps and things are a great way for the baseball fans in their lives to help get them hooked.So where's the logic in not gearing products to women?I don't think anyone is going to say it's dumb to market to women. I've just seen it done in better ways. Not too long ago all t-shirts were kinda the same, but they made a cut for women and even put sports teams on there. Good idea! Then is the obvious pink-themed sports shirts and jerseys. Sell like crazy. These two play to the fact that women's figures are different and many women have an affinity for pink. Smart.But since the hats aren't pink or styled differently, and heads are similar in shape, I don't see the point, outside of $. It's a hat. I just wonder if women will say this is dumb, or buy them up. We shall see.Now who wants to sell women's extension cords with me?

Gothamite Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Ah, but there's the rub. Heads aren't similar in shape. Women in our society tend to have longer hair, and from bucfan's description above these caps take that into account.But I was specifically addressing pittfan11's thoughtful post:Wow, really? I didn't know women could play in the MLB. Some of the dumbest crap I've ever seen.If ability to play was the prerequisite for authentics, few men would be allowed to purchase them.

pittfan11 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Just seemed a little wacky for me. I think most chicks would just buy some cheap adjustable hat at Target or something if they wanted a hat that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't seem that much different to me really, kinda sat higher (yeah, higher) and had more room in back if I remember correctly.Makes sense. More room in the back for hair, and sat higher so the face isn't too obstructed and sunglasses may be worn and stuff.Women are more apt to buy something that fits them nicer. Hence the different t-shirts and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
