Mr. Bojangles Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 BP CAP UPDATEI am holding one of the new BP caps in my hand (the Astros). I got it at the team store today. I don't know if this is true for the other teams, but in the case of the hats that the Astros were selling at Minute Maid, the BP cap fits a size BIGGER than labeled. I normally wear a 7-1/2, and I had to buy a 7-3/8 in the BP. I tried on a new Astros regular game hat to make sure about the sizes. So buyer beware if you are getting them online and not in store.Also, they are high crown as hell, but I tried on a dozen of them and found a couple to be less high crown than others.The material is more like the last round of BP caps than the early 2000's mesh. It feels pretty lightweight.Just got my Brewer's Alt BP cap, and you are right, they do run a little big. I ordered a 7 3/8 and it fits looser than that size normally does.

IceCap Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I don't like a high-crowned cap. I'm a 7 5/8, so my head's big enough already. Ripping out the backing gives it a softer appearance, more like a cap from the 1950s or 60s. As to the "how", it's really very simple. Locate some of the black plastic struts with a tweezers and start pulling them out. You get enough out and the backing just lifts off. There's a video tutorial out there somewhere.I wear a size 8, so this is very much appreciated.

Whenever the cap is made in China, I always get a size smaller Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightynine Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Get rid of the rips on the bill and that big logo on the back and I'd consider that Braves hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mojo Maniac Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 In the scrolling newsfeed on the Mariners' home page, one of the headlines is backed with a picture of Jeremy Bonderman, whose BP cap appears to have the "classic" white sweat stain look. Can that actually happen with the new Diamond Era technology? Say it ain't so! From San Berdoo to Kalamazoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dahatman Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 The A's have eight "throwback Thursday" promotions scheduled for this season. Does anyone know if the A's will be wearing uniforms from those periods or will they just be giving away the patch that is listed on the website.

hormone Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 http://www.tampabay....w-bpspring-capsCan anyone shed some light on the "alternate" light blue Rays cap? (That's the one I really want). It's not on MLB Shop, Lids, or anywhere for that matter. I don't even see it mentioned anywhere except the article (which has been discussed here). I re-read uniwatch's article and they said they have 36 caps this season. The Reds, Twins, Yankees, Brewers, Marlins, and Tigers would account for the extra 6 caps.Could this be a prototype? Ditched? Waiting until maybe after the AS break? Could cap sales determine home field in the world series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zpqmaowl Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 If a jersey looks like a generic airbrushed baseball player stock image in actual game photos, it's probably not a good thing. the worst helmets design to me is the Jacksonville jaguars hamlets from 1995 to 2012 because you can't see the logo vary wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm guessing you live in Pittsburgh) I called basically every store in VA/DC/MD and even two in PA (my sister goes to school there) NOBODY sells the Rays diamondera hat. As for your question about the light blue, I'm guessing its a prototype because I haven't seen any Rays player with it on in any interview or on the field or even in their lockers in the clubhouse.

Lids here said they won't have it in stock. One Ray works out with us in the gym for the baseball team I coach, but he's gone and I don't think I'll see him again until next year. I'm not tight enough to bug someone to call him and ask about his game cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I'm in Tampa and I have not seen any of the light blue caps in any official capacity. They have not been seen at the ballpark in Port Charlotte for spring training or at any local retailer.I'll let you know if I see them at all, as I bought the navy one, but would like the light blue one too.
