For the third year in a row, all 30 MLB teams will be wearing stars and stripes caps for Memorial Day, July 4th, and September 11th. The 2010 cap, shown left for the Cubs, is white with a red or blue brim and the team logo in stars and stripes with a red outline. Don't really understand why the Cubs chose their secondary color in red instead of navy this time around, but it does look cool. In 2008, the first year of this tradition, all teams wore navy blue caps with the team logo in stars and stripes and the 2009 cap was the same but in red. This cap is very interesting because there are currently not white caps in baseball. There haven't been any white caps in baseball in a long time, and they look cool with the modern uniforms. I was hoping the brim and outline would be navy, but this looks cool, too. The Cubs did not look good in this caps last year because of the annoying red, but look cool this year just like in 2008. I like these hats a lot because of the fact that all teams wear them and the logos in stars and stripes, a very interesting method to depict national pride. Baseball is our national pastime, so it makes sense seeing our beloved teams in the colors of our nation.

I like the red!
ReplyDeleteAlthough i like the red hat too I think the white one looks better. It looks more classy, retro and historic. I like how you said that every team has to wears them. People sometimes forget that we are a part of a bigger community of baseball rather than just part of one team.
