Well, we do have concealed carry laws and Minute Maid doesn't wave a metal detector wand when you walk in (unlike Toyota Park that wanded my kids a couple of weeks ago). So it is possible that some gun guy could see the gun on the uniform and something could short circuit through his CHL brain making the whole affair just terrible.

OR maybe Majestic has rules like New Era and won't put guns on their product period.

Yeah but New Era used to make Yankees "Gang" caps without any problem because it sold...until they didn't want any more bad press.

From that article: "Recently, it has been brought to our attention that some combinations of icons and colors on a select number of our caps could be too closely perceived to be in association with gangs."

Hole-e crap, that's a heap of bull. Anyways, I got the New Era "no guns" thing from Plan B when they were doing some collaborations which wound up nixing my Peashooters basketball logo in one of their contests.

That was the hat they wore when they had the purple road alternate jersey a few seasons ago.

I thought those were all purple hats?? no black brim

Yeah, I thought they were all purple too. Don't remember the Rockies ever having purple caps with black brims. Certainly haven't worn them since New Era redesigned the hats.

Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

That's a mistake on new Era's part. Every once in awhile you'll see an error like that at Lids. Someone here once posted the Pirates alternate with a red outline instead of a white one, and I've seen a handful if A's road caps in white rather than yellow. They're actually sorta somewhat collectors items.

Don't know if this has alreaady been mentioned, but the Tigers appear to have made a minor alteration to their wordmark:

NEW:

Don't know where this script is coming from. It's not in their style guide, not on their website, and it looks horrible.
