The response I received was that they "try to mix up the uniforms as best as possible". I agree that they rotate the jerseys pretty well, but they wear the black and blue caps way more than the others...and as a longtime Mets fan, it drives me nuts.

The Senators don’t arch their lettering, so I don’t know why you’d expect that…

First time I've ever seen him wear one. I don't think he was even wearing it in his first two at bats of the game. The only other Astro to wear a Cool Flo was Aubrey Huff during his brief time with the team last year. In the 8th inning of the Reds-Astros game, Lance Berkman was wearing a Cool Flo helmet.
