Do you think that the Pittsburgh Pirates should bring back the pillbox caps?

Maybe focus on being competitive and relevant first?
Not really. Maybe for one game like the field of dreams game or whatever
Hell yeah. Do it.
Absolutely
I don’t know but “rippin’ cigs in the dugout” needs to return expeditiously
And bring back ripping a dart in the dugout
Yessss.
Although it would make the one I have less distinctive and cool. 🙁 Haha.
Yes!!! Those uniforms go hard ad hell.
But you gotta hack a dart when you wear it
Yes.
No I fucking hate those lol
Bring back ripping heaters in the dug out.
Sure, if you’re Dave Parker. Not sure anyone else can pull it off.
As a kid in the 80s, those were no fun to wear. Was thrilled when they switched back in ‘87.
Absolutely
Heck yeah!!!
Absolutely. And cigarettes
I do not.
If you got people like Stargill and Parker to wear them, sure.
Heck yeah. Their shorts too
No.
And ripping heaters 8n the dugout
I think the Dodgers should do this. That way, I can listen to people cry even more about how they are ruining baseball.
They should bring back darts in the dugout too
No
Yes, as well as smoking in the dugout.
I think they’re awesome but no, it seems better as one of those iconic artifacts of a past era.
Things needed to restore the Pirates to their glory years:
1) Pillbox hats
2) Iconic yellow/black uniforms
3) Heroic amounts of cocaine
No
Baseball truly need more cigs, coke and booze in the culture
I think we need to bring back rippin darts, or vaping in the dugout.
To take it a step further, I think players should be able to rip darts on the field.
Yep agreed.
Bring back the whole damn uniform!
And the heaters
pictures that make dudes go “hell yeah”
Yes
I have 2 copies of this picture autographed by both Dave Parker and Grant Jackson (sitting behind him). Grant wouldn’t sign it until I said that I belived him that he was just ‘biting his nails’! I couldn never tell who was to the left and right of Jackson. But, it is one of my favorite all time photos. Look at the dugout wall, it screems 12-year old community rec ball field.
And to answer the OP’s question – I don’t like the pillbox hats, so no.
Grant Jackson looks like he’s grabbing the last pull of his…
No
I was never a big fan of the pillbox hats for players every day. As a part of their City Connect or throwback unis, absolutely. I think it would be cool for maybe home games on Sundays or something.
No
And joints.
100% I can’t believe that they have not, those hats are great.
How about bringing back the cancer sticks to the dugout. I’m sure a few guys want a smoke or two during the game.
