Re: First look: new MLB batting practice caps

Five best looking:

1- Athletics (love, love, love the elephant logo)
2- Brewers (best alternate logo in the game along with an awesome color combo)
3- Mets (strictly for Mr. Met in all his glory)
4- Rays (FINALLY using the "ray of sunshine" as something other than an accent... ABOUT TIME!)
5- Reds (Mr. Redlegs is even cooler than Mr. Met)

Five worst looking:

1- Braves (not offended by it at all, it's just ugly as sin)
2- Indians (the "C" on this one stands for "chode" I'll bet)
3- Rangers (the flag just looks stupid and out of place)
4- Rockies (oh, how futuristic... and lame)
5- Tigers (just so incredibly boring on so many levels)

I did that in alphabetical order, but I would say the Brewers alternate is the best and the Braves is the worst.

Chief Wahoo for life.

Personally I agree, It's a really neat logo and works well with the hat color.

I like the Red Sox cap. It's basically a color swap of the 70s cap.

Meh as mention the Marlins home BP cap is awful, but the road is nice tho as I think the Black with the orange works well(The colors overall have grown on me).

I don't like the Reds away cap, too much black. It gives me bad memories of the dark days of the Reds. I like home cap, but I prefer the wishbone C.

I like my Cubbies hat, but that Astros cap is badass.

"We tried to carry on the theme of our organization, and we think this script A does that," said John Schuerholz. (Braves)

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The batting-practice caps that the Braves will wear during Spring Training will not include the Indian head logo that stirred debate when a potential version of the hat was leaked in late December.
When Braves pitchers and catchers stage their first workout at ESPN's Wide World of Sports complex on Tuesday morning, they will be wearing new Spring Training hats that are solid navy blue with a red script "A" on the front.
Debate surrounding the hat began six weeks ago when Uni Watch leaked the Spring Training/batting-practice hats that each Major League club would use this year. The design for the Braves showed the front being adorned with the "screaming Indian head" that has been deemed by some as offensive to Native Americans.
While the "screaming Indian" logo was one of five proposed designs, the Braves said a decision on the design had not been made before the potential hats were leaked.
"I like the selection we made this year," Braves president John Schuerholz said. "We had a variety of choices that we looked at, some more thoroughly than others. But at the end, we liked this one. The fact that one person somewhere offered his personal opinion about one of our options, that was important to him.
"When we made our decisions, we tried to contemplate. We tried to be creative. We tried to carry on the theme of our organization, and we think this script A does that. It is part of the continuum of the uniform look we have. We've never had one that looks like this during Spring Training."
The Braves will wear the hats during Spring Training and while taking batting practice during the regular season.

Re: First look: new MLB batting practice caps

I'm a big fan of the new look hats. I can't wait until they hit Lids, I'll be picking up the 2 Brewers hats and the Cardinals hat. Has anyone seeing if they are fitted or flexfit though? I'm assuming fitted.

Re: First look: new MLB batting practice caps

In the past, the batting practice caps were FlexFit.

In the past, the batting practice caps were FlexFit.

That's what I was thinking, but they saw 59fifty...so I'm not sure, since back in the early 2000s they had fitted, mesh, 59fiftys as BP hats.

Re: First look: new MLB batting practice caps

HA! I knew the Brave head logo wouldn't see the field.

I like the A logo though whenever I see that it reminds me of Alabama.

Re: First look: new MLB batting practice caps

Looks like the BP hats are size fitted

Re: First look: new MLB batting practice caps

So dumb they decided to change it, but aesthetically, this one is much better. Dammit. Probably gonna have to buy it. *sigh*

[Dog]

They are 59Fifty fitteds with the mesh material from last years hats. I need myself one if these.
