1stAndPhoremost Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 It would appear both the Phillies and Red Sox are wearing their BP caps during tonight's game, too.Philadelphia Inquirer/Phillies Beat writer Matt Gelb just confirmed what a lot of us were thinking via twitter saying: "For those asking, the Phillies are wearing their batting practice hats because MLB told them to so they can sell more merchandise." @magelb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubsFanBudMan Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 It's "prime rivalry" week. These caps are apparently the pro combats of the baseball world. Yay! Interleague has finally lost its steam, coinciding with everyday play and the biggest markets having one or both teams being bad.But throw out the records when the Padres and Mariners play. Bitter rivals from interleague Day 1.EDIT: Royals are wearing BPs as well. White panel. The Cardinals passed. (Their BP cap is blue, and they're on the road. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hmm. The District Manager at Lids who I used to work for said a few months ago that the BP caps were going to be worn during interleague play, but he was so full of s**t with everything else he said that I just assumed he was with this as well.

Old School Fool Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 You know, when I saw these new BP hats announced for the season, I totally had a feeling that some of these were designed with the intention of being worn during the regular season.

OnWis97 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Today's uniwatch was about using the BP caps during games to drum up sales. I guess I'll go out and drop 35 bucks on that tacky white-panel twins cap now.http://networkedblogs.com/LGjbO 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."

The BP has the funky outline around the SF. And they have worn the orange brims a couple of times this year. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!

Legend Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Come on, guys. I disagree with him too, but we're not supposed to make this about the posters. Sodboy's response was sufficient, said it all.You both are clowns.Yes, because I don't like foreign languages on jerseys, I'm a racist. Way to generalize. Typical liberal trash talk.And the other guy was talking about Lukas, not me.Ignore my posts if you hate them, neiter you or your buddy sodboy need to say stupid things like that. Your opinion of me not only doesn't mean a damn thing, but doesn't contribute to the conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadSeed84 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I'd love to get the phillies one, but it seems like the bp hats are even a tad stiffer and the high crown seems even more pronounced, and that looks goofy on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBubba Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 You'd think they'd mark down the price of the BP caps, like they do with the BP jerseys, no? If you're going to have to spend $40 either way, most people would just buy their team's "actual" cap. Nobody cares about your humungous-big signature.

NYYNYR Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 can someone explain to me why the Twins are so infatuated with their drab navy alts to use it this much? The away jersey is nice, and it's becoming like the road jersey for the Marlins/ ChiSox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the original question, yes. The Giants are the only team who's BP cap is no different from one of their on the field caps. It's a bit of a bummer as a Giants fan, but they really don't have much of a choice. They no longer use the font that had the old NY Giants/Old BP G, and an orange cap would've been awful.
