For those who don't care about details pertaining to the materials New Era used in its caps over the years, I admit that the posts from the past few weeks haven't been super exciting.

I could feel bamboozled but I guess the fans in New Orleans had it worse since they had to deal with a secondhand cap logo from 1993 until they rebranded in 2005. Here's a fun read about that story. |

| Ozzie Canseco looks great in green hats, as evidenced by this but just so y'all can see that I wasn't jiving about the New Orleans Zephyrs cap, here's a photo of him wearing one. Honestly, I only used this card because he was the only recognizable player that I could find who wore it. (photo credit: tradingcarddb.com) |
