As part of their annual “Stars and Stripes” program, New Era and Major League Baseball has produced a cap for every Major League team featuring a camouflage-patterned logo.
These special caps will be worn by all 30 clubs during the 2012 season on the following three dates: Monday, May 28th; Wednesday, July 4th; and Tuesday, September 11th.
All net proceeds from the sales of these caps will go to the “Welcome Back Veterans” charity, in place to help returning soliders.
You can purchase any of the caps you see below at the official MLB.com online shop here

Brilliant!) and the Marlins. As much as I dislike the new Marlins logo, it somehow looks a bit more campy and disco with the camo touch: KC and the Sunshine Band! It looks real nice on the powder blue KC (as in Kansas City, not the Miami Disco Meister) cap as well.

Monday, May 28, 2012 at 17:51Not a huge fan of the Baltimore hats, seems they were the one and only to take the really reserved approach. I'd wonder if those would even show up as anything special on TV or at a distance. Also, I believe this is the first time we've seen Chief Wahoo on a holiday cap in quite some time. Wonder what the Native American population, especially those who bravely served their country in the military, have to say about that.

Thursday, May 31, 2012 at 01:35I actually think it'd be better if the whole cap was camo and the logos were standard issue. Some of the logos just don't warrant the use of camo simply because there's not enough room to see it. The Mets black cap (which they didn't use on-field) you can't even see the camo. Did the Yanks actually use these or were they too cool to participate?
