larrypep Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The most annoying part is that the Angels' official store advertises the 59Fifty version but doesn't actually sell it:that usually means they'll be stocking them soon.Let's hope so, I am keeping an eye out for these caps.If you don't want to wait, you could try calling the team store at the stadium. They usually stock the real stuff. They had the throwbacks in the store last year and they had the retro New Era hats as well.Thank you for the great idea and trying to put this thread back on topic. I will try to call their team store today, don't know why I didn't think of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawk36 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The big question many will have, is will the cap still have that unusual white circle at the top . The "unusual white circle" is clearly supposed to be a halo, which is why those hats are so awesome.One of the best caps ever.

phutmasterflex Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Stickers are like price tags, the sticker you find on your pants/khakis or any indicator that it's for sale at a store. Once you purchase it, you remove it, indicating it has been purchased for. I don't understand why people love to wear caps that give them the impression they just copped it from a store. Do you wear your pants with these stickers still on them? It's the same thing with the caps.I don't wear them like that but I had always wondered. So if you do like to wear your cap with the stickers on the brim, could you help explain why? And as for bending the bill, I suppose it depends for it's purpose. You bend it if you need to block the sun, to fit comfortably on the head. If you keep it flat, I would assume it's only for looks because I can't figure out what other purpose it would serve to keep it flat. Go A's!

If you keep it flat, I would assume it's only for looks because I can't figure out what other purpose it would serve to keep it flat.I recently bought a new 5950 and tried to wear it flat but the construction of the cap caused irritation on my forehead - I think the herringbone (or whatever that plastic strip is called underneat the brim) has a join there or something, it would slightly put pressure on my forehead, causing discomfort. Bending the bill relieves that for me. But hey, I tried!I do leave the hologram on underneath the bill but I take off the big stickers they put on top of the bill. But no opinion either way if others like to keep it on, it's all personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTV Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I don't wear hats so I'm not really in either the "straight" or "curved" brim camp, but IMO if you're not actually playing a sport, there's no need for the cap to be curved the way that it's intended to be when worn on the field. Much the same way that replica NFL jerseys have sleeves and aren't cut at the armpits like the on-field versions. If you like it curved then cool, but I don't see the need for it. It's just style, and I don't really see why people get so angry about it. If your outfit is really slouchy then a crisp brim and structured crown are probably not appropriate. Then again if your outfit is a little more sharp and you are using a hat to accessorize (which I wouldn't, but still) then the "Ford guy" look (or the Twins47 look) probably isn't right either.There's tons of fashion choices that people don't think look good, but for some reason, it's things like flat-brimmed baseball caps and stickers that actually elicit anger. In most cases it's just laughter or dislike, but in this case it seems like it's more than that. Just sayin'.

Just sayin'.At least to me, and I don't want to stereotype, but a majority of the people who leave the stickers on the cap or the brim flat tend to be a bit lower-class in the way they carry themselves, and most of them tend to be young people too. If you look at the time major leaguers started wearing the flat brims as opposed to the curved brims, it all coincided with the "street/hip-hop" movement that many people associate with the Raiders' black gear and NBA's lengthening shorts becoming "in." I'm not saying that this is necessarily "right" or "wrong," just associating the phenomenons.If that's the way you want to portray yourself, then that's fine, but I feel that the curved brim seems a bit more mature.

I think most non-thug douchebags tend to curve their brims.As with any other article of clothing, it really comes down to how the person acts, not what he is wearing. Simply wearing a flat or curved brim really doesn't determine the personality of the person. There are plenty of :censored:s out there who wear curved brims. Many of them are actual baseball players, but a lot of them are not. WIZARDS ORIOLES CAPITALS RAVENS UNITED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
