    The Reds won a World Series Championship while wearing blue (and red):

    But the hat in the beginning of the thread is not accurate.

    That looks like a Rangers hat, but with a C on it.

    I have that 1940 cap, they sell it through the MLB site. I love it.

    Every time I wear it, someone says to me "Always Red, I didn't know you were a Cubs fan." Then I have to explain that the Reds wore this cap during the late 30's and early 40's.

    And I am most certainly not a Cubs fan.

    Until I'm blue in the face. (Pun intended)

    And I got tired of doing so, and now I only wear this awesome cap around my house.
    sorry we're boring

    Blue in the uniform makes sense when the team is called the Red Stockings. When they're called the Reds, it doesn't at all.

    That is the downside of most awesome vintage baseball hats. I got my dad a New York Giants hat as they were his team growing up and everyone always comments on his "Mets hat".


    I myself have a nice St. Louis Browns hat which I will continue to wear when I feel like even if I am mistaken for being a...well, you know.

    The 1961 NL Championship Reds had blue in the non-wishbone C center. My favorite Reds uni.
