OnWis97 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I think enough has been said about the political aspects (JPSlapshot, FTW) of this. You can be patriotic AND just wear team stuff without a flag/camo.That said, if they are going to do this, this is easilly preferable to previous years simply because the teams wear their own colors on their caps.And maybe, just maybe (OK, almost certainly not), someone with the Twins will look at it and say "hey we can learn something from this hat. We need an outline around our letters so both will be visible from a far."The Twins are the one team that could learn a lesson from this. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

Fox Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Four caps for the Indians is bad, but the fact that the Pirates will have two different caps that are virtually the same is just sad.also: IMO, best looking cap of the bunch by far. http://shop.mlb.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12594739 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HolyStroke Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 An all black hat with a gold outline around the camo logo would look pretty good. Not on the field though because black doesn't go with any of their uniforms anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proc Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 So I saw these in Lids today and have changed my mind about them for one specific reason. They're all made in China. It infuriates me that New Era has shifted their on field caps to China as the quality is just flat out awful compared to the US made caps. That was always another thing about these caps that I liked gone out the window. Before this year all of the Stars and Stripes caps were US made. Soon enough all of the on field caps will be made overseas (if the trend continues) and I'll be done buying New Era on field caps. No boycott of Chinese goods or anything like that, but on the Chinese made caps the quality just isn't there.The low crown versions of the 5950 are U.S. made (regular versions, not the Stars & Stripes versions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are labeling these hats and merely a money grab by the MLB, which it isn't at all. They are way off with the accusations. I can often be critical of things major sports leagues do, and often times the gesture is nothing more than to try and make the league the look good. I think this is to make the league look appreciative yes, but to show a positive meaning and reason behind wearing them. And the fact that money from hats sold is going towards something good, further reinforces they are doing this for the right reason.They know there will be a demand for these hats, like for myself who collects hats and likes wearing them. I get to wear a Yankees hat that has a patriotic/military support idea behind them, and I like that because it reflects who I am. So I'd buy the hat regardless, and call a spade a spade if it was merely the money grab many think it is. But truth is, it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubby34 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Net profit is better then what it used to be-- which was "A Portion of the Proceeds".I still won't buy one though, the camo pattern on the marlins hats look like bed comforters. It looks like they just glued it on. So ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Who's proceeds? I'm sure the retailer isn't giving up anything so look at around 25% (new era's profit) of the retail price at most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Era, MLMD, and a few on-site teams stores is it, and they are all spotty with inventory. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
