New MLB baseball caps Mar16 '07
Major League Baseball recently acknowledged the new official cap, made of 100% polyester.
It's called the 59FIFTY, by New Era.
The new cap is supposed to achieve the following things:
- Reduce moisture by having it absorbed into the fabric.
- Help prevent sun glare, with a solid black undervisor.
- Polyester doesn't shrink or emit an odor when wet.
Let's hope these new caps don't turn against the players like the new NBA ball did (or shall I say "new old" NBA ball), at the beginning of this current season.
It's good that the players are getting some exposure to the new hat, by using another new cap - the "batting practice" alternative 39THIRTY, which has the same "moisture locking" features.
The 39THIRTY cap also has a nice design:
Specifically, focus on the aerodynamic curve:
There's a word to describe this type of design infused within something bigger, and I can't think of the word right now.
I'm thinking along the lines of a building, that when viewed from a certain angle, you can see a person's face in the brickwork.
Anybody know the word for that?
