Now Available! The new 2010 home cap we just designed for the Mobile BayBears. The cap is done in a classic solid navy with light blue and cream highlights.
The embroidery incorporates a design concept that we developed while spending a day with New Era’s digitizers in Buffalo. Our goal was make the bear appear to be emerging from the darkness. We started by embroidering the majority of his head in the same color thread as the cap color. Then we broke the large navy area into smaller fur fields, giving the head dimension. Now when the glossy navy thread catches the light, it gives this simple logo a furry 3D look. One we’d never seen before.
The new look also pays homage to the heritage of baseball in The Azalea City, especially the Mobile Bears of the 1940s. If you haven’t made the trek, Mobile defines the romantic Old South. Antebellum mansions, azalea trees, gas lamps and horse-drawn carriages. The new home cap is just part of our 2-year creative overhaul of the BayBears franchise. We’re producing a new Mobile-themed fan experience that includes ballpark mint juleps to rocking chairs. Gunna be classic!
No 7 1/8s? Or are they sold out already?!
I guess Iam forced to get it lol I was digging the other logo on the sketch page with the bear over the M put that into production!!
Ryan, there were no 7 1/8s in this drop, but we’re going to make sure we have plenty in the future.
Jason, I’m sort of in between 7 1/8 and 7 1/4, depending on the hat (not sure how that works). I might order a 7 1/4 and take a chance. If it’s too big frontwards I can always just wear it backwards.
Ryan, if you decide to try the 7 1/4 and it’s too big, we’d be happy to exchange it for a full refund.
Did you read my email?
that’s a beautiful hat, gents.
Doesn’t anyone else feel like this hat is rip off of the memphis grizzlies logo.
