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?
Who knows the reasons for it really, maybe they sell better that way… either way I would have really preferred to see the stripes follow around the entirety of the crown, like they’re supposed to.
Caps will feature the 2015 All-Star Game logo on the back in place of the MLB logo. Last season the ASG patch was on the side.
According to the ESPN report the caps will go on sale next week.
UPDATE June 18/15: MLB has since released the complete collection of their 2015 All-Star Game caps… a look at all 30 team designs here:
