In order to keep things simple let's just open a new topic titled: "Arizona"

Say what you want about the team, but Mr. Met is awesome.

Have you guys been seeing the new BP caps?  There are some absolute crackers in there: DET Road, SD, either of the MIL (but especially the alternate), KC, HOU, CIN Home, BAL and OAK are all really nice.  Even the Cubs one isn't bad - I never had a problem with the red bill on the road caps and I quite like the white "C".

Mets, Phillies, A's, Rays, Jays, O's and Braves all look great to me. The Cubs one looks like something Rah Rah would wear.

I'm trying to decide if you mean this as a good thing or a bad thing.

Needs a couple things. At least.

I don't know who these people are or what they do, but I'm going out on a limb here and saying they suck at it.

So, beyond my confusion of this thread for hats, I guess I'm going to have a hard time buying regular non-flatbill hats this year. That's fun.

Serious question from someone who hasn't bought a new hat in a long time.

Are those flatbill hats made so that you can't "sculpt" them anymore into a rounded brim?

In the olden days (before pre-shaped hats) we used to just break them in, are the new ones designed so you can't do that, because flat is the new style?

They make the Franchise style, which comes with a pre-sculpt, but you can still break in a standard hat; they just come flat from the manufacturer.

I think every New Era fitted cap I ever bought came with a flat brim that I subsequently shaped.  This is nothing new, Pen.

That was my question - since the style now is to wear it flat, I was wondering if the new brims were made differently to keep them flat and not shapeable.

Did you leave the stickers on?

I admit - I do leave the small, round, shiny silver "authentic mlb" sticker on.  But I take the others off.  I'm a bit old and white to be fly.

The internets on messageboards like this very one are telling me that they are made differently then the older ones that came flat-brimmed until people curved them. Who knows, though? Flatbrim hats are queer /simplemindedsmalltownyeti

I don't think you'll get a lot of disagreement on that around here.  Maybe from Apex, but he's black and can get away with it.
