Only four of these hats look good. The Twins (surprise, surprise), A's, Mariners and Orioles look nice because the bill color differs from the crown. All of the rest of them look like solid color caps with some sort of weird napkin tucked in behind the logo.

The Indians get partial credit for having a contrasting bill, but their "please don't call us racist" block C is so generic that it makes the cap as forgettable as the rest of them.

I happen to like the 3930 ASG caps quite a bit, especially the Jays:

I actually wish the Jays wore something like that all the time...

Just realized I saw the Angels one at Ross this morning. No idea how it ended up a discount store already.

No fricken way

So players aren't wearing their regular hats in this game?

STUPID

Yep. It's just another attempt to sell more hats. So will the Orioles' hat just look like their usual home hat? Will the Nats' hat look like their BP hat?

If they keep this up, what happens when the Reds host next year? Every hat will be designed with their standard team color with their logo? Riveting

That means my beloved Nats could be wearing [gulp] this: http://mlb.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pMLB2-3537931dt.jpg ????

Every team's hat logo will have an unnecessary black drop shadow.

Well, Cincinnati is the oldest team in the league, so maybe they'll have every team wear some type of a throw back logo. Maybe DE versions of old caps a team used to wear or inspirations from an older era and whatnot. I can't say I'd be too terribly upset to see something like that. For some reason, going a bit wild with the All star Game doesn't bother me, and keeping each team's colors makes it even better.

I'll bet $100 on white caps w/ team-colored pinstripes and bill. Book it.

Not a bad guess by any means, but I wonder if it's even possible to dye/subliminate pinstripes onto the new Diamond Era material. The Reds are going to be a tricky one to pull off IMO. That's the biggest reason why I think this probably won't catch on.

Now that Diamond Era is back in the news, who's bought a bp cap and likes the material? I don't like how the crown stays boxy and won't shrink no matter what. On the flip side, it's lighter than the regular 5950 and it fits better (I HATE 5950 sizing inconsistencies).

I like them, but you've gotta pick the right cap. I bought the Rays BP cap last year, and while it's a little loose, I've broken it in and it fits well. Likewise, I just bought the Rays ASG cap yesterday, and it fits perfectly right off the rack, albeit a size smaller than my BP cap (7 1/4 versus 7 3/8). Alternately, I bought an MiLB Kannapolis Intimidators BP cap last month, and it's quite boxy and doesn't really fit well.

I have to say, these look FANTASTIC.

Pretty much a perfect distinguishing change while still keeping it pretty subtle.

These two in particular I think should be the new home hats for the Angels and Blue Jays

Ideally (IMO) they'd have an all white hat with a red bill. They're pretty much the perfect team to pull that one off.

I kind of like the Jays cap.

You know, if it weren't that terrible Diamond-Era fabric and if it lost the patch on the side.

That cap is amazing, but I can't help but feel they should just make the entire front panel white like their classic World Series look.

I stand by my original position. I hate these hats. The Reds is especially brutal.

The only ones I think actually look good on their own are the Blue Jays, A's, and Mariners (if only because it means they finally wore a teal bill with their white home shirt).
