The 2016 MLB All-Star Game will be here in less than two weeks and I have an important question to ask: do you have a cap that is equally garish and banal enough to show support for your team? If you are a San Francisco Giants fan like I am, click here to pick one up in your team's flavor.
I'm less than enthused about the stars on the eyelets but I appreciate that there are efforts being made to take new and interesting design choices on this year's on-field cap. In keeping with a trend that was started in 2014, this year's All-Star Game's on-field cap is a Diamond Era style hat where the colorways are not necessarily consistent with the one's a team uses normally.
There are a few interesting palette choices overall and you can see a few examples of how this looks here. While they decided to keep the All-Star Game cap understated this year, you've no doubt seen the atrocity that is the 2016 Home-Run Derby cap. This design schema is in contrast to how it was done in previous years such as 2014 where the Home-Run Derby cap was the more mild of the two caps.

This is the same All-Star Game patch that is featured on the 2014 Home-Run Derby Cap. It isn't flashy but I don't think that's the look Minneapolis was going for anyway. |
The stars on the right and left of the MLB batterman patch isn't my favorite design element but I can at least appreciate the sense of grandeur that it creates. |
