ltjets21 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Are the marlins orange hats the first time a MLB team has worn an orange hat since the astros? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 The Giants have their orange-billed alternate cap and I think the O's do as well. If you are referring to an all-orange cap, though, yes, I think the Marlins are the first since the Astros to have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Yep.The closest thing to a full orange would be the 1975/76 Orioles alternate that features an orange panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnum Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Were there any before the astros?No, there wasn't any team to use full orange cap.Interesting fact, but no team embraced a full green cap until the 1963 Kansas City A's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone brought this up here a few years ago and I don't think an answer was ever really given as to why so few (if any) teams used red caps long ago.

Or by "embraced" do you mean "kept around"?The Brooks also wore tan on the road that year. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

People demand it, I guess. Teal gets introduced just to be chased away 20 years later. All because it is too 90's. Whatever that means. Teal is beautiful, damn it! Teal was my favorite color before the Jags. The reduction of teal in their look is burning my biscuit! Don't get me started on the Marlins. Though I do love the orange.

Everything else came post-1950. Wasn't there a thing where people were concerned about the safety of red dyes? Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!

Gothamite Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Don't forget Cincy (1901, 1910-11), and the 1901-1902 Phillies. The Boston Braves also wore red caps in the early 1900s. And that's just a quick perusal of the first few pages of Dressed to the Nines, nor is it counting all the teams that wore white caps with red bills. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

Tygers09 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 You mean a team actually decided to wear another color besides red, navy/royal blue or black?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Reds? You don't mean communists, do you Sam? /FletchThat could have been a reason, though. Perhaps it was the overpatriotism of the day, like "God Bless America" during the stretch and flag caps now. "We're so America we won't wear red caps." Wait...Also, red M&Ms disappeared due to a dye issue, so maybe there's something to that, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
