What logo is on the nameplate? That bird looks angry.

It looks like a modified version of the "Angry Bird". Eyes are different, but it is definitely this image.

Was angry bird a real O's logo? Reminds me of Beavis...

Apprently it is actually call "The Cuckoo Bird", even though I have always heard it referred to as the Angry Bird.

"The Cuckoo Bird (1968): After a disappointing 1967 season, this character, also known as the Psycho Bird, told us to "Wait Til This Year." As it turned out, he and the Orioles had to wait until the next year to face the Miracle Mets in the '69 World Series."

Thanks! And you were just ahead of the times with the Angry Bird name.

Damn, I love 47 Brand.

Their white-panel version looks pretty good, too:

That's what I love most about 47 Brand. They use clear stitching on white front-panels, unlike the New Era hats. NE's Expos cap has the horrendously obnoxious red stitching all over the hat, on top of the white and the blue (unlike 47 Brand's). Not to mention that 47's hat was $15 cheaper.

Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

I really wish they had a solid black cap. I would buy that in a minute.

Agreed. I am waiting for a fashion cap to come out so I can pick one up

Do you mean like this?

Somewhat like that but I would prefer the a low profile 59fifty that is all black.

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.

Their Expos cap isn't a "pinwheel" cap, but for $15 cheaper and without the dumb contrasting stitching, I'd take that (or a wrong-coloured button):

I was just watching the Orioles edition of "30 Clubs, 30 Days" on MLB Network and that Angry/Cuckoo Bird is EVERYWHERE. Adam Jones gave a tour of the Sarasota clubhouse and it started out with a giant version of it on a wall, but then a cropped version started popping up everywhere he walked -- above the flags of the different countries the Orioles have had players from, above the lockers, as a design treatment in the halls, etc. The official logo was nowhere to be found, but this guy -- who I also thought was an Angry Birds spoof -- was all over the place.

I love how the white panel caps look on their own, but they don't work with the rest of the uniform. There's just too much white on those uniforms with a white front panel. I do think that the white panel hat will look pretty good paired with the orange jersey, though.
