We are two weeks into Hispanic Heritage Month and calling back to last year's Los Murciélagos de Louisville post is this week's Abejas de Salt Lake cap, which is another stunning logo created for the Copa de la Diversión campaign which itself is an expansion of the Es Divertido Ser Un Fan ("It's Fun to Be a Fan") fan engagement program that began in 2017.
The Copa has been a success since it began and as more teams continue to join in on the fun, I can envision teams adding on alternate Copa identities. In the case of Salt Lake, I would like to see how this team incorporates angels from Mayan mythology as they are depicted in Mexican folk art as a tie-in with their affiliation with the Los Angeles Angels.
This week's post marks the 11th time I have written about a Copa hat and since I have no intention of slowing down on purchasing caps from the collection, you can expect more posts like this one! For more photos and a quick backstory on how the Abejas came to be, this link will take you to Salt Lake Bees site and I also recommend this one from the Bees team store.

| This logo is one of the more understated Copa designs but the clean lines and bright colors—featuring just the right amount of Tealism, by the way—caught my eye instantly and I especially appreciate how they implement the bee stripes into the "A" here. |

| The grey undervisor is a special treat due to this cap being a Hat Club exclusive that I purchased in March 2020. Obviously the entire MILB season was canceled that year but even it had not, the team would not have worn this cap as this was a fan only release. |

| I love how relaxed the Miami Nights/San Antonio Spurs vibe is on this batterman. All of a sudden, I am now thinking back on the Hat Club release of a "teal/magenta" San Antonio Missions cap that I am kicking myself for sleeping on! |
