Re: The Reds' new BP Caps, yes plural

I'm trying to keep an open mind about them, as I most probably will receive one for either Fathers Day or my birthday. And once I receive one as a gift from my kids, I'll wear it.

I do like Mr. Redleg, I just prefer him in a supporting role on the sleeve rather than as the star of the show on the hat.

...back to patrolling my snow covered yard...

That color scheme is familiar to me. And I'm glad my favorite NBA team no longer uses it.

That's pretty much where I'm at. I like the old-fashioned handlebar-mustache Mr. Redleg as an accent (although his eyes look like he's been hitting the greenies a little too hard) but would rather his uniform match the era of the hat.

I generally think the idea of a BP ballcap is pretty silly, but understand the marketing aspect of it. After all, MLB is a money-making business. I'm not rushing out to buy one.

My yard is well-trampled by snowman making activity and the traffic of critters. All Roy-approved activities, but I am keeping a flinty eye out for punks.

Geez ... tough crowd. They're just batting practice hats that the majority of fans won't ever see anyway. For the record, I like the home cap. I have a Forty-Seven Brand hat that looks similar and wear it to games all the time.

EVERYBODY is jealous of the Mariners.

I don't like the Mr. Red logo. I want the wishbone C... that stands for Cincinnati and is recognizable at a glance. Mr. Red is not... except to Reds fans.,

I like the all red one. If this was our new primary caps, yeah I wouldn't like them too much, but it's just a BP thing and an extra hat to sell. As far as those go, I think it's pretty good.

I like variety, and I'll probably buy the new black bp hat.

I'd buy a Rojos version of that.
