Custom All-Star Game Hats Are The Way To Go

When it comes to sticking to their ways, baseball is about as staunch as it gets for a major sports organization.

However, Major League Baseball subtly strayed from the norm at this year’s All-Star Game and if that change continues into the future, it would certainly be welcomed.

In years past the players wore their standard uniform and hat while participating in the All-Star Game, but this season, the All-Star wore two-tones hats that mirrored the Twins’ batting helmets from the 60s and 70s.

It was a small change – one that has no impact in the grand scheme of things – but it was cool to see a tiny tribute to the history of baseball in the host city, Minneapolis.

The 2015 All-Star Game will take place in Cincinnati and some have speculated that the hats could be of the pillbox style that Mr. Red wore when he debuted in 1955.

The Cincinnati Enquirer recently put out images of what every hat would look like in a pillbox style, and most of them look pretty good.

There are a few I don’t like (why do the Dodgers have a red stripe? White would have looked better) but either way it would be cool to see.

Hats are a big part of baseball – and fashion in general – and if baseball can come up with a way to consistently make the All-Star hats a small tribute to the host city, it’d be a pretty nice touch to the Midsummer Classic.
