Your Baseball Hats

look for the cooperstown collection. they have the sized fitted wool caps, and fitted cotton caps that are s,m,l,xl.

the yomiuri giants cap is classic in the old new york giants sensibility.

We are from France.

('occasionally' = 'when stoned')

Non-baseball baseball caps include Detroit Pistons (yeah baby), Detroit Red Wings, Detroit Lions, University of Michigan (classic gold M on maize blue), Syracuse University, and um, Eric B & Rakim.

Aw, he looks so cute and gregarious there! How could one not be a fan?

Only current fitted cap: black Mets cap with blue bill (I think hstencil got the black-bill model). Lost my vintage Brooklyn '30s and all-blue Mets.

Adjustable: battered Mets oldie, current Cubs, SABR logo tan-and-red, what I think is a Team Cuba (with flag logo, great fun at VFW halls), brown Brooklyn Dodgers football ('40s vintage).

Likely next purchases: Brooklyn Cyclones and Expos tricoleur.

In the interests of full disclosure: I have a trucker hat but it's a non-ironic one (I think), since it's an Iowa Hawkeyes 1984 Rose Bowl hat that I've had since 1984. I haven't worn it in a long time. I also own a black fitted Iowa baseball cap (baseball being about as big of a sport here as in Indiana). I am planning to pick up a Tigers hat the first chance I get later this summer, most likely this guy:

Dr. Morbius looks good in 80s Met blue.

I also lost a Birmingham Black Barons adjustable that the Mets gave out one Negro Leagues Day (a prom owhich seems to have been retired). There's a Negro Leagues store on 5th Ave in Brooklyn I've never shopped at.

There's a really great Oakland Oaks shirt I saw in a SF window once but didn't buy -- were they solely an ABA franchise, or was there a minor-league baseball team with that moniker too? I've seen the ABA shirt with the same anthropomorphic acorn, but it's different from the one I bypassed.

The Oakland Oaks were part of the Pacific Coast League professional baseball league. My XGF's (hstencil's least favorite XGF of mine) grandfather was a pitcher for them and she has a picture of him getting a swinging strike 3 on Joe Dimaggio (then of the SF Seals).

Dr. Morbs, I can easily procure the t-shirt because I know exactly what store you were looking at (hippy dippy t-shirt store 2 doors northwest from the corner of Haight/Ashbury).

THAT'S IT!

I'm not in a huge hurry for it, really, but thanks gax.

How about pins, does anyone have a pin(s) on their hat(s)? I've got a mini Bernie Williams jersey pin on my Yankees cap.

I'd call them "flare" re J Aniston in Office Space.

I have a Cool Papa Bell pin but don't like em on caps.

I limit sartorial expression to my Whitehouse.org shirts, mostly.

my mom dated a dude who held the longest errorless streak at 2b for awhile when he played amateur ball in sd. i also think a relative of my mom's played a bit for the white sox in the early 1900's.

when i was a kid i had that exact pirates hat but it was the yellow one with a black P and black stripes. i was a huge willie stargell fan.

I kinda collect MLB caps. Which I suppose is slightly odd since I'm from Scotland...

I have these fitted caps:
Pirates (Black)
Pirates (Gold 70's style)
A's (Green)
Orioles (Black with orange O logo)
Mets (Black)
Nationals (Blue)

and these adjustable ones:
Cardinals (Red)
Red Sox (Blue)
Reds (Red)
Reds (White with red pinstripe)
Pirates (Black)
Mets (Black)

You can see a few of them in this pic here

I should say that the fitted ones are left on display and the adjustable ones only get worn when I'm working in the garden.
I'm old enough to feel weird wearing a baseball cap when I'm walking around town.

perhaps I will buy Homestead Grays cap on Haight next week.

I'm wearing this one today

Zaxxon, that is a nice cap.

treefell, I'm in my early 20s and I feel weird wearing a baseball cap. It always seems way too "dude" for me. I do it anyway, though, because I leave home AND leave work at just about the right times every day to get an eye-load of sun, and I have very thick glasses so sunglasses are out of the question. And it'd be even weirder to zinc up under my eyes.

When I was buying my Reds cap, the woman at the cash went to move the sticker and said "oh, wait, do you plan to wear the sticker?" (I don't know why she asked or felt moved to move it). I replied, "No." and she said something to the effect of "good, because that's lame." My response: "It's like, it's new, we get it." Then she laughed way too hard and I felt like a comic king for about an hour. That's customer service.

I like your story, Will.

I have:

* a Knoxville Smokies cap
* a classic Boston cap
* a red Nationals cap with the interlocking "DC" (NOT the "W" cap - urgh!!) - this is really a beautiful cap. there are gold highlights on the letters.

LA Dodgers (but don't wear, not that there's anything wrong w/ that)

Cowgirl Creamery

where is a serious hatter that aims low profile style for small heads? i've tried at least one of the MLB Franchise lines (adjustable kind) and hat comes down to ears and/or eyes.

lol @ small head

Today I'm wearing this though it has a white back instead of a navy one ... guess they don't manufacture the style anymore.

The stores outside of Fenway have an immense selection of Sox caps.

i have the same mfr but it's not a fitted hat, and the back is a little too big/angle between bill and head part insufficiently acute

my wife is annoyed

i haz portland beavers cap

and this weird clown-striped brewers cap that has 1989 stitched on it but there's no way anyone ever wore that, I can't even find a picture online.

also, I have a beisbol cap for the mexican futbol team 'toluca' that steals the duke logo (they are the 'diablos rojos') and has flames on the bill, and a few kickin' blazers' caps. mostly though, I wear the brewers and the bevos caps

Tracer, I'm glad you liked my story, I thought it would be boring as hell and not make sense. Is this the hat you have?

The Ebbets site is awesome. Finally, a store that sells that hard-to-find Bonham Boogers gear.

i never wear caps anymore :-/

now that my hair is short (and i'm going to try really hard to keep it that way) i think it might be time to buy a hat. thinkin about the classic red/white/blue expos and wishing i knew my hat size.

All the good authorized (wool, fitted) caps I've ever gotten have shrunk up too tight to wear after a couple of heavy sweats.

this is pretty much the only hat I sport these days, and only when I go to games

lol wait did stence go to ~williams~

Bard iirc

stence bought a ~black mets cap~

SB hpencil

Further, I bought a Milwaukee Braves hat w/ the big white "M" in the middle, and it is good. I still can't bring myself to get a NY Giants. Kinda want an Expos too, but I worry about the white crown getting grody in a hurry

i wager 75% of males in the area have this hat. mine is very crooked and worn.

alas, oleg did not fare well in the decadent west

200 workers shouldn’t have to lose their jobs to move production to a non-union facility or overseas.

Bottom Line: @MLB caps should be made by union labor in Western New York, USA. https://t.co/1QyZp2TYkp
