2015 MLB All-Stars to Wear Striped Caps in Cincinnati

2015 MLB ASG Cap Leak

The 2015 Major League All-Star Game will feature players wearing horizontally striped caps, this information courtesy an eBay auction first reported by Uni-Watch this morning and then later confirmed by ESPN this afternoon.

Caps will have two thick horizontal stripes on a contrasting front-panel, a confusing design to say the least. While the two stripes are a clear homage to Cincinnati’s early pro baseball teams, the front panel is for…? Last year’s All-Star Game?
