1. Wonder why the Okkonen cap has an orange bill instead – http://exhibits.baseballhalloffame.org/dressed_to_the_nines/detail_page.asp?fileName=nl_1928_newyork.gif&Entryid=449 ?

2. Wonder why the National Baseball Hall of Fame Database’s Okkonen cap has an orange bill instead – http://exhibits.baseballhalloffame.org/dressed_to_the_nines/detail_page.asp?fileName=nl_1928_newyork.gif&Entryid=449 ?

3. okkonen has been proven to have some inaccuracies in the past. not saying this is one, because as we learned last week, you can’t always trust merchandising to give an accurate representation of the past. but either way, this would be a legitimate cool way to honor the giants without doing something in black.

   that being said, can we get a few throwback games on the schedule? how about a throwback friday? one a month. wool ’69 pins, ’70s polyknit, ’86 racing stripes, maybe even a ’97 ice cream man game.

   1. btw i should say “further honor” the giants, as the orange exists for that purpose already.

      1. The (normal) Mets road uni is a drop dead take on an old Giants uni, except w blue instead of black. The cap has a Giants logo. They use orange. I think it’s cool they’ve got the Giants in their uni as much as they do, but it needn’t go much further imo. I’d like to see a Mets hat with an interlocking B and Q for Brooklyn-Queens, as an alternate cap. This really is the core geographic identity of the team, so far as I can tell.

4. I’d like a throwback game where they don’t use any sound effects or music except an organ.

5. As does the black, but the Giants were also the first NY with the orange and blue.

6. How about a throwback to a winning franchise?

7. Remember when we all thought white-crowned caps were ugly?
