Has anyone ever got a cap from Cooperstown Ball Cap Co?

Just ordered a 1915 Phillies home throwback and they look awesome, but somehow I never heard of this company before this morning. Any thoughts?

I only know that they are located in upstate NY and after looking at their website, i personally wouldn’t buy from someone who looks like they use MS Paint to draw their hats instead of actual pics.

just my opinion

My dad ordered a Washington Senators hat from them years ago, before the interwebs. Hat was of great quality. I don’t have any pics (he lost the hat at work), but they seem to do a good job period dating the type of hat. This was a much older Senators hat, where the crown was ‘floppy’, instead of being stiff like they are today.

The site looks kind of cheesey, but I think that is part of the charm. It has kept the same look as their catalogs throughout the years. I think for continuity reasons they didn’t post pictures of the caps, since as someone else pointed out they probably haven’t made all of the caps they offer, as they’re done on site, by hand.

I’ve been contemplating getting an old pillbox-style cap, just can’t decide on one.

i’ve always hated the vikings uniforms, which is a shame cuz i think they have one of the great overall names in all of sport. “minnesota vikings” just sounds awsome. why they went with purple is beyond me. they should put the viking head logo on their helmets. maybe they could keep the purple as a secondary color but darker than the shade they use now. let yellow or gold be the primary color.

It’s generally understood (and accepted) that the Viking owners chose purple and gold because it was a “spin” on the U of M Gophers’ maroon and gold. In ‘61 the Gophers where still a national championship contender and Rose Bowl caliber team…and were not too many years removed from their legendary decades of Bruce Smith, Bernie Bierman and all. Back then, Gopher football was king around here; their games were broadcast live on no less than five–count ‘em , five—Twin Cities radio stations every Saturday.

So, the color choice made sense. No one else in the NFL worke purple, and pairing it with yellow-gold was a nod to local football tradition.

purple apologist.

An explanation and a bit of history/background is an apology?

just a joke bro.

Say goodnight Gracie

Good night, Gracie.

um, so i was watching the phillies game tonight, and they had bases loaded. the man on second was wearing what looked like either a pullover or a dugout jacket OVER his jersey. no screen cap though.

Pitchers do that all the time.

Spoiler: Purple WILL be heavily involved.

I would think Cowboys would have some type of uni-refresh for moving into the new JerryWorld this summer.

You mean like actually picking one f’in silver/grey hue and using it consistently?

How bout one shade of blue AND one shade of silver?
