MLB throwback/special uniform thread

That ticks me off, I bought one at the Trop in 2012 and its like the O's home cap with 2 light blue front panels, while the player model had the tapered look.

I am very tempted to buy this one as I like the tapered look better.

But we're they the US made on field polyester caps, or the crappy wool Chinese knockoffs? They had a TON of those while I was there, and I was pretty close to grabbing one with the 98 World Series patch, but it just looked too cheap to justify that kinda money. I can't find the US made Poly TBTC hats anywhere, even Hat Club.

I didn't look at them but it seems like most of the throwback caps they had that I did look at (mainly the brown ones) were all Chinese poly caps. Next time I'm in Hat Club here locally I'll take a look, they had the 98 caps parked with the rest of the gameday caps, maybe with a little luck these will be American made.

FWIW, the 48 cap I bought last night was made in the USA poly.

Well, if it makes you feel any better, they're the crappy Chinese made caps. I looked at one the other day and turned it down because the fit was so awful.

Which one is more accurate? The Majestic version or the Ebbets version? Ebbets have always held themselves up (and Paul Lukas has as well) as being ridiculously meticulous with detail.

They are. But they still make mistakes, even big ones. Such is difficulty of this research.

I was looking at Lukas's site today and he had these photos on there which confirms that Majestic's version is more accurate. I still think I like the Ebbets version of the script though.

EDIT: It was Phil who wrote today's article. Not Paul.

It's this one:

FWIW, this was what EFF came up with lin 2011:

Do we know for a fact when that photo was taken? Many of these teams made changes every season; perhaps the Majestic and EFF are reproducing different uniforms.

And FWIW, Majestic's work this season has been impeccable for the Brews. They matched my 1913 jersey perfectly.

You know what, you're right. Majestic is reproducing the 1948 uniform, EFF is reproducing the 1949 uniform. The picture is probably from 1949, Luke Easter is the player on the left and '49 was his first season with the Padres. Still would like to see for myself if those '49 unis were indeed black.

I was lucky to get my Rays on field tapered fauxback cap through a connection at the team.

It was one of the left over first batch for the players. $45 but USA made. probably the rarest in my collection.

Those Chinese caps are TERRIBLE!

Looks like they're gonna wear these...

Can't see them wearing the white home- if I heard or read correctly they will be playing Milwaukee in Milwaukee.

Wish it was the 68 version, I bought my TBtC Marlins cap today at lids. Made in USA too.

Damn. What a wasted opportunity.

Heck, even the '68 Marlins had Jim Palmer.

And the same sleeve patch.

Well, you just posted a pic of them with an orange brim so it may be used, but they wore the version I posted in 2002 and it was the only one I knew of with an orange brim. It just seems like they would go with the more recent option. I'd love that '68 uniform, though.
