The white panel Blue Jays Hats & Helmets

[KennerKid]

Do you guys see this as a permanent part of our uniform set now and into the forseeable future? I really like them. It's almost as if it's the primary home cap (they had Vlad do his intro press conference in it, they wear it as much as the blue).

 

What are your thoughts? Or is it an 'alternate' they might eliminate sometime in the new future? While we are on the topic of uniform discussions

Alrighty

I hope not. It looks dated and s*****. The new dark blue/light blue alternate hats are dope af though.

I have always been a uniform guy.

 

Our powder caps look like the devil rays

I'm not a big fan of the white panel hats or anything to do with the new powder uniforms or hats.

 

For me, it's the blue hats with any of the white, grey or blue jerseys. They all look amazing. No need for anything more.

Seems like either the players or org likes them.

 

Just wondering if this will remain the way it is for this current core or regime

 

For all home games in 2019

 

Blue cap: 48 times (59%)

White cap: 27 times (33%)

Holiday caps: 6 times (7%)

I personally love the white panel caps with our white home jerseys as it’s our traditional set, but at the same time I also like the standard pairing with the Blue caps (and has that ‘93 WS nostalgia attached to it) so I wouldn’t make them a permanent exclusive pairing or anything. I think the amount of times that we used each of them last year works just fine.

 

The new alt cap is a totally new colour combination and while I don’t like them as of now it’s possible I may grow to not minding it once I see it in person/action enough times. We should still throw in the white panel pairing with it every now and then though IMO, like how it was done in the past.

 

To me the worst pairing was the road greys + white panel helmets we used in ‘89/‘90... god that looked awful. Was so glad when they stopped being cheap and finally invested in proper blue road helmets in ‘91.

 

and I won’t even get into the atrocity of those grey 2004 caps... I like to pretend they never actually existed.

If you don't like the design, it will be changing before you know it.

I like the white panel caps the best. Every other blue team uses the solid blue cap with logo so the white panel stands out.

 

It's not as good as the one with the old logo and baseball behind it though.

Really, you don't like these?

 

 

I feel like this might be a top 5 hat in baseball.

Love that hat! It will have to replace my current one:

The thing is, I don’t think it will. Not the current branding anyways

Admittingly my initial reaction was vehement opposition to anything totally new (‘97 and ‘04 uniform/logo reboots still has me scarred), and it reminded me too much of those off colour combination fashion snapback caps they sell at Lids or something. As mentioned in the post though I think once I see it in person (might check it out at Jays Shop tm, if they already have it) and become more familiar with it I’ll likely grow into it. It does make sense from design perspective as a match to the new alternates. I still wouldn’t use it in combination to any of our other jerseys though (they probably won’t anyway since other unis don’t have any powder blue accents). I do like the darker navy component of it.

does anyone think we may switch back permanently to the white panel caps soon at home?
