rgrn2777 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 If this A's cap is legit. It would dispel the rumors of switching to the Diamond Era caps as the game caps. This cap would be better suited as an alternate cap than the road cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erlovepuck Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 As long as the pinstripes are off-white/vintage white/cream/ivory/whatever, I don't think Mr. Met's bright white noggin fits in. Obviously it's not the same as a patch, but I don't like the contrast when the real Mr. Met (yes, he is real) wears the off-white jersey. Mrs. Met's jersey looks clean, her husband's looks like he hasn't washed it in months.Isn't that the way it is with all married couples anyway? I personally think the cream looks fine and that Mrs. Met should wear either the same jersey as Mr. Met or maybe the blue alt. I've never liked the white alt, it's extraneous and overall unnecessary now that the beautiful blue alts are in play. Not to mention that it's a reminder of this aesthetic nightmare:That combo never bothered me nearly as much as that cap with the pinstripes. I also thought that cap looked much better with the black alt back before they introduced the second black alt and the all black cap. The blue on the bill at least picked up the blue "Mets" on the black jerseys. All that said I like things much better as they are now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilliesPhan1325 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 what is the dif. on that 2014 A´s cap ?The current (and better stay their current) hat is an all yellow A. And is beautiful.

Anubis2051 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 what is the dif. on that 2014 A´s cap ?This is the current road hat:If you compare them, basically the changed the A color to white and added a yellow outline. God I hope this isn't true, I love the current road hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 They really need to drop the 's from the cap and just go old-style with just the A.Also there's no need for a road cap - the home cap works just fine on both uniforms. I'll say it again - they need to drop the 's, and adopt home uniforms with just the A on the chest. Basically go to a Philadelphia A's type set but with the current colors.If they end up moving out of the bay area, I would hope that they go back to their original colors (though I understand that would unfortunately leave MLB without a green team, but so be it.)

Gothamite Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Another royal and white team? No, I prefer them in green and gold. Especially since, as you note, that would leave MLB without a green team. Besides, their greatest legacy is expanding the color palate in baseball. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

WSU151 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Yeah, going from green and gold to blue and white, or blue/red/white, would be a complete downgrade.I like that new A's road cap, if that is it.

Hat Boy Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Also there's no need for a road cap - the home cap works just fine on both uniforms. I agree, Vet. For the road grays, I always thought the white logo on the hat was a good compliment to the white shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerfanjoe Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Someone on NECTALK found one at a local store. So I can confirm it is legit. However, I am not sure if it's an alternate or going to be the full-time roadie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Am I the only one who thinks the A's don't need a road cap at all? Their home cap is good enough to wear full-time. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the road grays, I always thought the white logo on the hat was a good compliment to the white shoes. I agree with all three of you. The home caps are near perfect. They don't need any other game cap. Though I did like their bp cap with the sunglasses wearing elephant...

McCall Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Home cap may be great, but the road cap is a thing of beauty. I like it better against the gray uniform than the yellow bill of the home caps. And if this is truly the new road cap, why decrease the amount of yellow on it? Doesn't make sense and hopefully that's a sign it's not the new one at all. https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiddySicks Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 That cap is just so stupid on so many levels. The reason the A's road cap works over the home cap is because the cap is all green with the gold A. The home cap would look ok on the road, but the white A with the grey jerseys always looks just a bit off. Even as an alt cap it doesn't work because it's a reverse of the Alt jersey. That's going to look downright AWFUL.Uggh, this looks so pathetically bush league. What the F*** are you thinking, A's?
