American Needle - Pastime Collection


Waffles

Recommended Posts

The Tigers one reminds me of when the Tigers were on WDIV (the local NBC affiliate in Detroit). At the end of the game, if the Tigers won, the tiger from the old circle logo would reach down and pick up a bat with his teeth; if they lost, he would have an old time ice pack on his head. Not sure about the crown though....

Looks exactly like that. The Free Press put out a book called "The Roar of '84" and I believe that is the logo on the back (I'd verify but most of the book collection is boxed up from the move). Another version of that is on the 1969 yearbook.

Distant Replays just put up a bunch of new American Needle MLB hats with what appear to be old secondary/tertiary/quartile(?) logos.

Some of them, I've seen before:

I love that logo, but it was created in the 1990s by Major League Baseball Designs for the Cooperstown Collection. Completely phony retro.

The other two Brewers caps are historical logos.

This one comes from a 1970 pennant, right after they got the team:

The second comes from this decal (which I believe might actually be from 1968 or 1969):

Both of those show up on eBay with regularity, which is from where I presume where American Needle got them.

Now THAT should be the Nationals' cap logo. Beautiful.

As usual, the Pirate's hats are garbage. The one pictured in this thread rarely got used with the current and last set so I don't know why it becomes a "throwback"

Wait a second - isn't that a White Sox logo? The Go-Go-White Sox?

That is the White Sox logo, and I have no idea why it's red. Is D-R selling that as a Boston cap?

For all the bird de lis haters I think the bird de lis isnt supposed to be a pelican and a fleur de lis I think its just a fleur de lis with a pelicans head. Thats what it looks like to me. Also the flair around the tip of the beak is just flair that fleur de lis have sometimes source I am from NOLA.
