Sorry sir. But looking on the bright side, it COULD be worse...

The 47 guys are great, they are one of the few that still make a low profile hat with a brim that isn't Flat Breezy style. I have three of them.

The white panel reminds me of 83 and my childhood. Love it because of that.

The all gray ghost hat that they rolled out in the late 90's was the worst hat ever.

Concur with the hate of the O's hat. Bleh. I'd love to see an all black with the bird on the field this year.

Whatever they wear this year is going to be remembered fondly because they are gonig to win a World Series in it!

I can't hate the Os alternate hat too much since the actual Oriole is wearing one.

I did order the all black batting practice hat (low crown) from the MLB store and I like it a lot. My favorite hat is still the away one. I wear that one most of the time.

The clubhouse hat looks nice, but it's flex fit, which I despise.

For the Friday alternate cap, I'd go for some variation of this, perhaps replacing the O's script with the Angry Bird and keep the orange / black as is. 2ba471869deb7f850ffb34e883c00d10.jpg

Love the angry bird. Actually have the fathead version they gave away a few years ago at fan fest on my work MacBook.

But it looks off on a hat when it's shrunk down.

I think we O's hat haters are a small but vocal minority. I guess most fans don't give a hang. But black jerseys with the away cap would be the best uni we have.

Is this a gut feeling or do you base this on something? Can you cite a fan poll of feelings about the hats? Seems to me (meaning I can not cite a source) that the only O's hats that fans wear are freebies.

Love the O's alternate cap. Guess I'm the only one. We're the O's, it says "O's"... Makes sense to me.

They are the Orioles. Are the yankees the "Y's?" The Rockies the "R's?" I know some teams have put the initial on the hats, but has any team every pluralized the initial on a hat?

      What about Tomoyuki Sugano for 2025?

      I'm certainly not "fixated" on this. The real issue is the budget. How high will Rubenstein be willing to grow the payroll?

      It will be retired with the first big $$ free agent or extension signed under Rubenstein.

      I have no idea what you are arguing.

      Cool, nice work there.   So? Are we owed a large market? Does DC not deserve their own team? Should the fans of Baltimore just become Redskins fans and not tried to get their own team when the Colts left?  (sorry to bring up football again but come on, that fits). I laid it all out a couple months ago, MLB has more teams bringing home the hunk of metal than other sports since 2000.  The competitive balance is fine.  It's harder?  Yea?  OK it's harder.

      The Cowboys have an owner with deep pockets. I agree 100% … There is some cap manipulation that happens. At the end of the day they have a $255 million limit they are required to operate under. The Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, etc can decide each year how much they want to add to the luxury tax fund as opposed to not being able to fit a potential move under the cap. Here are the 2024 payrolls for the NFL and MLB   https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2024/04/03/mlb-team-payrolls-2024-highest-lowest-mets/73139425007/ Highest $305 million vs $60 million  https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/_/year/2024/sort/cap_maximum_space Highest $259.5 million vs $217 million these numbers will likely get tighter once they make additions before the trade deadline.  If you can’t see the difference I’m just wasting my time. The biggest driving force in MLB beyond the ability of some to spend lavishly is the tv markets. The club controls so much of their tv revenue that it’s an unfair game. The moved that created the Orioles didn’t have much of an effect on the Senators tv market which was likely nonexistent then. Plus MLB is allowing contract manipulation like Othani’s contract. Instead of $700 divided by length 10 years, Somehow he only counts as like $46 million which is laughable. Plus they are paying $85 million in luxury tax fees in 2024.    The Orioles were a large market team when the Expos moved to DC. They could afford to spend with the Yankees, Red Sox , and Blue Jays. Could the Orioles afford to pay $85 million in luxury tax fees? Could the Yankees? I know the answer to both.  What grounds ? Who cares ? The impact was astronomical …It made it very difficult to compete in the AL East without tank a thon! It split their tv market in half. Obviously MLB papered over that long enough to get an agreement done.    They turned a large market team into 2 small/mid market teams. The Orioles and Nationals payrolls combined place them only 11th in baseball. Obviously they could afford to spend more. But it’s doubtful either will ever be top 10 for more than a season  or two as they try to hang onto a window.
