mantleisthebest7 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Hey y'all!I hope this is the right place to post this -I have been interested in finding one of those cooperstown collection hats for the Braves from thier Milwaukee days (1953-1966), and I havent been able to find one anywhere. Its basically the same as thier primary caps but with a block "M" instead (just about everyone knows what it is). I g2g right now but to make it quick has anyone seen one floating around anyhwere? Thanks in advance! Jimmy Eat World Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 heh, i don't figure you're dropping by my neck of the woods anytime soon, so letting you know the Lids here has Milwaukee Braves caps is useless info to ya. and now, some more useful things to know...somewhat appropriately, you can find the caps in...where else...the Brewers' throwback section.http://shop.mlb.com/sm-milwaukee-braves-19...pi-1823451.html A strong mind gets high off success, a weak mind gets high off bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a long time, the only place to find St. Louis Browns stuff was in the Cardinals store, not the Baltimore Orioles store. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!

Gothamite Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Does kinda a little sense, since those are the biggest markets for them. They used to cross-reference them, selling them in both the Atlanta Braves listings and the Brewers listings. That made the most sense at all.They also sell a Twins Enterprise Clean Up version of that cap, which I recommend most highly. Not a big fan of American Needle, but the Twins stuff is always excellent.This is the cap I most commonly wear:Hey - maybe they put it in the Brewers section because it was first worn by the Milwaukee Brewers of the American Association in the 1940s and 1950s?

wman Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Get the Twins version. It is adjustable, but their hats IMO are quality. I have several. The American Needle Cooperstown are hit or miss from a size perspective, and their 'authentics' are anything but. Check out the 1950-70 Phillies piece of junk they sell on mlb.com if you would like an example. The 'P' is a mess, and far from authentic. And all it would have taken was 3 minutes of internet research. I hate laziness. Bring back the Whale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to get one or more of thier hats someday. Thanks for your help guys!I've bought two caps from Mickey's Place. They gave me the wrong size on the first cap. The second cap was fine. I'll probably buy a couple of caps from them this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proc Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Wow...nice website. Thanks for the tip. Its in Cooperstown? I'll be there in July. Guess I'll have to stop in there.As for hats, I used to be a fitted-New Era guy. However, I have found over the years, that I really like the low profile Twins Enterprise lids. Either fitted or adjustable, they are the most confortable caps I own and seem to hold up pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG_ThenNowForever Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I've never ordered from them, but I have gone in when in Cooperstown. Amazing store.No kidding. Caps all over the place, so much so as to be almost intimidating.I bought a San Diego Padres throwback years ago (at the Dave Winfield induction, I think). It was between the Padres hat and a New Era Phillies Schmidt-era hat, and looking back, I wish I had gone with the Phillies. The Padres hat had a high profile -- it sit so high on my head that it was completely unwearable. I've long since lost the cap so I don't know the manufacturer, but I was definitely disappointed.I still have yet to get that Phillies hat... 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 One of the things I enjoy most about going to Cooperstown is walking down the high street, and going in all the shops. So much great stuff jammed into all those places. Shop after shop with patches - commemorative patches, logo patches, event patches. I always spend more than I budget for the trip....

amare32 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I'm a New Era guy. I think American Needle and Twins are the poo. I got the cap you're after fitted and 100% wool (w/o the bogus NE logo) from Distant Replays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
