HatManTC Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 i have seen some interesting hats in my years(use to work in a hat store) but this has to take the cake.http://shop.mlb.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3012066this hat comes with logos with velcro backing so you switch them out for other colors at your whim by RoscoeUA by gingerbreadman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Personally, I think thats a great idea. It helps so you don't have to buy four different hats. Too bad the colors aren't better though. On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

SLAM Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Cool idea. I wouldn't buy it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goaztecs Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I used to have a Nike hat like this with multiple colored swoosh logos. The unused ones would fit inside the hat so you wouldn't lose them. I like this idea but I agree with Bucfan about the colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korbyn Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Very neat idea, but yah what bucfan said not crazy about the colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Dear God...VELCRO!!!Ugh...I'm already beyond sick of all things velcro, just simply due to what I'm forced to wear daily. Don't think I'll be hook-and-piling any interchangeable logo patches on any fitted anytime soon... *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JToad Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 This would be great if there were different team logos in a set. So for all the bandwagon jumpers, if they're team lost, they could just switch it out for the winning one.But seriously, as a sports merchandise retailer, this is a novel concept, and would help keep inventory down in an urban market. You would have no idea how often people come in trying to match an outfit. We would have to stock a red yankees, a camo- yankees, royal blue, black, yellow...etc. etc... This would make it a hell of a lot easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would make it a hell of a lot easier.I think it is a damn clever idea (not that I'd ever buy one). In some respects, it is no different than buying a watch with interchangeable bevels.One downside for the manufacturer is that someone who may have bought 4-5 hats so he can match his outfits might just buy 1. However, as you note, the manufacturer may now run less risk of having too much supply (or is that more likely to wind up falling on the retailer, who has to make sure he doesn't order too many hats?).

pagan696 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 like leo88 sez, to keep "just in time" inventory, cap shops will see the light and carry only velcro logos behind the counter, like the old heat transfer Tshops at the beach. ugh.

cheo25 Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I'm not a big fan of all the fashion crap, but I can understand merchandise using any combination of your team's real colors. But unless they're gonna give your velcro logos using your team's real colors only, I think it's garbage. A team has a set of colors. If you wear a neon green logo and your team's real colors are black and red, it's just dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wear a neon green logo and your team's real colors are black and red, it's just dumb.I think it's okay. I also think the colors on that particular Indians hat are pretty ugly. And I wonder how the hat actually looks in person -- does the velcro logo stick out?I'm not the target market for this hat and I'm certainly not going to buy it. I also think it gives off a low-rent vibe -- if this kind of look were important to you, you might well buy the five different hats or whatever. And five of the same design is boring too. But like most of the stuff New Era sells, they tend to find a market. 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...

lilgump Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I actually bought the Seattle Mariners one on monday.Pretty much for the reasons people have liked them, so I can mix/match with outfits. I have a pair of shoes right now that are black with some lime green highlights, so I thought the hat would go good with that. I go to Univ. of Washington, so the purple logo fits in with washington gear. And the red and white logo goes with a lot of other stuff. A little tacky, sure, but I like it!

hecticbro Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Interesting idea.... But who the frell would want a purple or neon green Chief Wahoo on their Indians hat?It would be more practical to do this for teams like the Tigers, who have two navy hats but one with a white logo and the other with an orange logo.I'm surprised that it doesn't look tackier.
