Fitted for a crowning achievement

June 14, 2012

  

The batting practice caps (pictured above) for the respective teams in next month’s All Star Game at Kansas City are expected to be worn in both the Home Run Derby the night before the game, and in batting practice prior the annual midsummer event that determines home field advantage in the World Series.

It’s an interesting use of the host team Royals logo, and overall, we give thumbs up to the blend of power blue and navy blue with the gold accessory.

++++++++++

Authentic store buzz: What is the most popular Phillies throwback cap among customers coming into the store and online?  Why it’s the 1926 road version with the Old English “P”. 

We’ve always liked the 1934-37 model which was a forerunner to the almost forgotten 1994 blue cap which made its debut opening day of the ‘94 season and was to be worn for weekday afternoon games, just as today’s alternate caps are worn. 

Well, after two losses in the blue, the caps were dropped from the ’94 weekday rotation and eventually faded away.

Latest Nike (team colors) 2012 authentic jerseys to arrive - the Bengals Andy Dalton and the Steelers Troy Polamalu.
