Uniwatch posted a photo of what it believes to be the Mets' new batting practice cap. This is the 9Twenty unstructured version, so the 59Fifty version the players wear will look a little better. But I don't know about these. With the racing stripe and pinstripes, are they trying to recall the 1980s era teams?
Can anyone make this image smaller -- or tell me how to do it? THANKS!

The only good think I can say about it is at least it has a curved brim.

The orange and blue across the front is awful

Even if everything else about this design was inspired, they've gone off-palette with that orange bar. It's way too red, and so clashes with orange shadow around the blue logo.
This is another thing that nobody called me about, and I'm thinking I might have to let some folks go if that keeps up.

The Mets road BP cap is really cool -- and confirms the idea that the team was shooting for a 1980s vibe. The home cap evokes the racing stripes, and the road has the 1987 road script!

The Yankees hat has almost as much metigree as the Mets hat.
Though, you know, I don't mean that really in a good way.

god, the mets one would be so much better if the racing stripe were styled more mid-cap like detroit or cleveland.
i'm digging hte vertical stripes on minnesota's hat. the white sox are among my favorites. the brewers and phillies are fun. the yankee designs are probably the only ones worse than ours. except maybe cleveland. because, dear lord, that winged-g logo is embarrassing.

Houston looks good, but very close to some they've worn in the past ?

1000000000% this but still pretty uggo, isn't it.
I think the 7 Line did a 1987 away cap just like that one. Better, but I'm still not buying.
great googly moogly!
