Thoughts on the alternate white caps worn in 1997?

  1. I honestly don’t remember this. Im guessing they didn’t wear them too often. Was it for interleague games (1997 was the first year they did them)

  2. I like the hat a lot. Not a fan of it with the uniform, but wouldn’t hate a second attempt.

  3. I wore one to school for a while. Everyday actually. In 1997. They were pushing this and a reintroduction of the 70’s era “Red-hat era ‘Sox” (mid-70’s) hat that season, especially, at the park. Of course I got one of those then too.
    Worse yet, around the same time one of the cap companies produced an alternate one with, gulp, …pinstripes.

  4. I liked the other alternates that they wore that year (that HatClub has in stock currently) – the red hat with blue brim (ala 1975) but with a white B. I wore the shit out of that hat. Happy to have a new version of it. It doesn’t have the idiotic New Era logo on the side either. Double win.

  5. They look great for the first few wears and then they start to yellow with the wear-n-tear.

  6. I had one of these back in the day. Thing was filthy within a month. Loved it back then, but I feel like it would look out of place now.
