That's almost as bad as the Devil Rays actual hats.

KronoRed · 01-04-2006, 12:02 AM

Check out the Braves one...70's are back

Looks like something Hummel and his crew would wear

Is it me or do these splatterhouse caps look like they have been hit with bird droppings?

MrCinatit · 01-04-2006, 07:03 AM

Yes! the much awaited "bird crap" hats are out!

I thought they had come out with an Eric Gagne Dodger hat when I first saw it.

That's been a theme in California (mostly around beach areas) for years, usually related to seagulls. Nothing new here except they added a Dodger logo. Seems appropriate.

Looks like some marketing exec acquired a fondness for splatter paint while growing up in the '80s.

BOSS: Gentlemen, we need a way to make this game appealing to masses!

ASST: Faster games! How about a nine-run mercy rule unless Danny Graves is in the game? Or only one pitching change per inning? A shot clock for Tim McClelland’s hand signals?

ASST: That sounds like a lot of collective bargaining, which our lawyer fans will eat up with a spoon. It’s the other 98% I’m talking about.

ASST: We could mass-produce cookie-cutter apparel and encourage people to express their individuality by getting it at the mall and wearing it everywhere they go.

BOSS: Go on.

ASST: We could produce everything overseas in Kathy Lee’s factories and charge a premium here at home, making every piece in the line seem like a status symbol.

BOSS: That’s fresher than a jock strap before a day game!

ASST: Best of all, the design work is done. After all the stadiums we’ve forced the fans to build over the years, we have a ton of paint-splattered hats lying around as prototypes.

BOSS: Johnny Lunchbox will eat those up. What about the kids?

ASST: Easy. And I do mean very easy. When young ladies show up in the player parking lot and waving, we stand back and snap photos of whatever appears above the waistline.

BOSS: Bull’s eye!

That will still be better than my lower back tattoo.

The southward pointing arrow with Enter Here printed above it was a baaaaaaaad choice.
