2004-? Colorado Rockies Alternate Cap
Today's Hat of the Day at The Fitted Cap Fiend is, basically, one of the more elusive hats in Major League Baseball today...at least on the field. You can still buy this hat at any store that sells authentic MLB hats, and it even has the authentic labeling on it and everything
(if you're one of
those guys that still likes to wear the sticker on the cap.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. You can wear your hat however you want. But bruh...). But, according to Darth Brett over at the Chris Creamer Sports Logos Community (the absolute best forum for intelligent discussion of sports logos & anything else pertaining to sports),
this hat was worn VERY briefly in 2004 and hasn't been seen since. In fact, here's a photo of one of the rare times the Rockies wore this hat.
That being said, as far as I know, it's still an option for the Rockies to wear. How do I know this? Wikipedia says so, and Wikipedia NEVER LIES.
Seeing the purple jersey is a rare occurrence nowadays. Seeing the purple hat? Even rarer. This look has become my white whale because of the fact that, well, it looks AWESOME. The Rockies, IMO, aren't one of the better looking teams in the big leagues, but they could be if they embraced purple. I mean, does the phrase "
Purple Mountain Majesty" ring a bell? They have a chance to OWN purple in baseball, yet they marginalize it in favor of black. They could be a team that really stands out in baseball. Now? They're just another team that wears dark colors, which the MLB already has too much of. The Rockies do use purple though...just in the wrong way.
Yuck. So yeah, Colorado Rockies, I am politely telling you to USE THE PURPLE HAT, YOU FASHION BLIND DUMMIES. IT'S AWESOME. IT LOOKS GREAT. IT FITS YOUR IDENTITY TO A T. IT'S PATRIOTIC. IT WOULD MAKE THE NATIONAL PASTIME'S COLORADO TEAM LOOK BETTER. USA. USA. USA.
