Tigers6884 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Any truth to the rumor that the Mariners are going to have a rebrand soon? Tragic news if true.Don't worry quite yet! Maybe it'll be a navy and teal (Northwest green, to be specific) version of the trident logo from their early days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally1912 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Sigh, and OF COURSE they just had to use that stupid Reds white cap with the red pinstripes. I've only been looking for a Reds solid red throwback cap with the flat logo since I was in Little League (That was the very first "Pro Fit" New Era 59Fifty I ever saw, and is basically the very cap that got me into fitted caps). I could've overlooked the New Era logo, or even just used a seam ripper to take it out if that was the case. Oh well. The search continues, I guess. What size are you looking for? There is a nice one in 7 1/2 up on Ebay for a good price. Old stock pops up once in awhile there.

guest23 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Not sure if this is the place to post it, but New Era's throwing back to '93 with this collection of caps...http://www.lids.com/New-Era/Style_MLB-1993-Collection-59FIFTY-Cap It's good to see all those caps together in one place again. Now, if they'd just give us a correct version of the Padres Taco Bell caps before the orange was added.So these seem higher crown... and the logo is flat again?I'd consider these if I didn't already have a closet full of '90s hats. Ah, disposable income...Also, I wonder if the Cubs cap goes back to the old blue already.So the 5950 changed in shape/dimensions from the early 90's to the present? I guess that makes sense as to why I hated them back then and waited 20 years to buy another one at which I'm a fan of the contemporary versions.

Tigers6884 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I think I might buy one of the 1993 Florida Marlins caps. I'll probably try one on at Lids first, to see how it fits me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with other posters that the NE flag ruins the look. The batterman logo was on hats starting in 1991 or 1992. The 1993 New Era collection has batterman logos, which is correct. I have real Rockies and Mariners hats from 1993...both have batterman logos. 1992 was the first year of the logo on the back of the cap. The Philllies didn't reveal their new uniforms until opening day, and actually wore and sold maroon caps with the mlb logo on the back during that offseason / spring training, even though those caps were never worn in any regular season.

I think not, because it would have clashed and I might have remembered that - but I really don't know. Since I guess technically the maroon cap was produced and sold in '92, it's possible that they had one just for it. No idea though, and that cap would be extremely hard (if not impossible) to find now.

Not sure if by flat logo you meant in terms of the raised embroidery or just without the shadow underneath but this one isn't as flat as the white pinstriped cap.

I'm not even sure if the team wore them in spring training, or if they just wore the '91 version without the logo. Finding a picture of the back of someone's head from spring training that year might be the only way to ever know, because there's zero chance of ever finding one of those caps for sale.
