Dope Adjustable MLB Hats...

Cop these hats for cheap at Lids... Velcro backs...



I always liked that Mariners logo...



That Phillies baby blue and maroon is sick...



I saw a ton of these Royals hats at the All Star Game this past year in Anaheim. I don't think there were a lot of cats out here from KC, I just think it's a nice design....



Hank Aaron hit a legit 700 homeruns. A-Rod and Barry Bonds can fuck off in my book...



This doesn't look like a hat, looks like a fucking pizza chain logo...

Wear a hat when you go outside...

Proud to be an American...

Major League Baseball teams who play on National holidays like Memorial Day or 4th of July wear special hats on those special occasions. A portion of the proceeds that New Era receives go to Welcome Back Veterans.org, a foundation to help out returning military soldiers.

There are only two versions of these hats, the red in 2009 and the blue in 2008. These are some of my favorite combinations...


The Dodgers are Vin Scully, Tommy Lasorda, Fernando-mania, Kirk Gibson and of course Farmer John's Dodger Dogs.... I mean the Dodgers are classic. And I didn't even mention Jackie Robinson, although he never played in LA.


Yankees = America. All the greats have played here.


What about the Capital, Washington DC? These are the Senators, and yes, that's a baseball team now, and yes, they suck.


This cap gives you an idea of what the inside of the letter looks like. I'm personally not crazy about this Rangers hat, but I did want to see what the stars & stripes design looked like a little bit better.


There is just something I like about that Royals lettering. The team is eternally sorry, but that KC is nice. Maybe it's just a reminder of the Bo Jackson days, I'm not sure, but I like it.


What about the Canadians? They can participate in the fun as well...

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim hats...

The Angels are my local team. I grew up right down the street from Anaheim Stadium and have seen them through their best and worst seasons. This post has nothing to do with their ability on the field... it has to do with how their hat looked.

The Angels have had basically five different hat designs. Let me know if you disagree with the rankings.


#5. This piece of shit right here. This hat came about when Disney bought the team. Disney can do a lot of things great, but running a baseball team isn't one of them. These were the dark days of being an Angels fan. They looked so bad that they had to play bad. It wouldn't have made sense for them to play good when sporting these caps.


#4. When I saw this hat I started to get worried about their name slowly changing. The Big A that I was raised on could have either stood for Anaheim or Angels. So when they threw that C in there I was concerned about them moving or changing their name. Looks like I was right.


#3. Small a style. Cute little halo tilted to the front. This is like an elementary school design. Some Tee Ball maybe or Little League. The big boys wear capital letters. I love that two-tone blue cap with the red bill.


#2. The new school. We recaptured some of the glory of the greatest hat, but that red is kind of bright for me. It's a bright red, not a blood red. I love that Big A on there. It's our landmark, love it or hate it.


#1. The best one of all. It has all the elements I like. The capital A. The two tone hat with the red and the blue. For some reason it immediately reminds me of Wally Joyner. Take a nice long look at it and tell me I'm wrong. Sorry I couldn't find a better picture, but this is going to have to do... Which is your favorite?

Baseball hats with the football colors...

This is a new collection of hats put out by New Era. These 59Fifty MLB FB Twisted hats feature baseball team logos with the football team's colors.

Incredible idea... first up is the Tampa Bay Rays twisted with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This is nice because it has that creamsicle color scheme that you either love or hate...








What do you think of this Minnesota Twins with the Minnesota Vikings? Are you getting it now?





This Detroit Tigers and Lions mashup is nice, too....





Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies....





Check out the rest of the collection here. I wish these hats were around when I was a kid when I had that disposable income to throw around... Enjoy.

MLB hats x Plaid

We all know that flannels with the plaid pattern are back in a major way right now. What better way to compliment your look than with a matching hat from lids.com? Twins '47 released this incredible assortment of hats called the Collision MLB Franchise.

This Pirates hat especially caught my eye. It has that Bumblebee - Warning - type of look to it with that timeless black and yellow combination. Classy!





This Pirates hat also reminds me of a previous post I did on an Ohio State argyle pattern hat. Check out that post here. Twins Enterprises continues to do it correct...

Cooperstown Collection x New Era

I realize it is not baseball season, but as I was flipping through Lids.com this past Black Friday, my eye continued to roam back to the MLB section. I feel like MLB hats are a little tighter than NFL, NBA and College hats mainly because it is essentially like wearing your favorite player's uniform.

Most of these hats I have pictured below are throwbacks from the Cooperstown Collection put out in collaboration with New Era, but I did throw in one modern day hat because I think we have all slept on it a little bit.



First up, Old School Phillies. Whoever thought of baby blue and marroon? That is a questionable decision right there. But after much reflection, this color scheme has grown on me. It makes me feel young again. Like I can open up a pack of baseball cards and eat the gum.



Montreal Expos. That cursive M is legit, as well as those different colored side panels. That red, white and blue makes me feel patriotic, however it is a Canadian team, so it confuses me.



This bird is up to something. It's like he knows something that I don't know. And it's a real good secret. He's a good guy though.



This is very Atari 2600. Not Nintendo or Commodore 64, because I never had a Commodore. That icon/ baseball player is right off an old school Atari 2600 cartridge. Just make sure you blow on it before you put it in.

I also love how it is spelled "Sox." We didn't know how to spell way before cell phones came out.



When this hat came out, kids went bonkers. The White Sox gained about 100,000 new fans. Every gang banger with a Raiders or LA Kings jacket now had a new cap to rock around the hood. Color out a small part of that "o" in Sox and it becomes "Sex." This cap is way underrated.

Dale Murphy Reverse Negative!

This card was like crack dipped in gold in 1989. Beckett's magazine would tell you it was worth 100 dollars because it was an error card. That dude is backwards... like he's in a mirror.

I love cards and still pick up a pack every time I'm in Target... Happy Crackin'... those packs that is.

Mesh Trucker MLB Fitted Hats...

I love that Washington Nationals W. I think that cursive is so smooth and fine, it's like being on a roller coaster. These are those Trucker Mesh hats that were in for a small period of time, but I think we killed it too fast. The fact that these are fitted is what puts them over the top for me. Again, I saw these at Lids.com...
