Assuming it's not a fashion cap in the same vain as Bluto's "COLLEGE" shirt from Animal House, would this be Michigan state? And if so, why is he wearing it when he went to USC?

I don't know if he has been using them in the regular season however. Here is the story on Braun's new line of maple bats: http://brewersbeat.mlblogs.com/archives/2009/06/braun_launches_line_of_rb8_map.html And here is an image from the Home Run Derby. You can clearly see the number 8 on the bottom of the bat: http://d.yimg.com/a/p/sp/getty/35/fullj.1ed27117aea00db781b50ec8ee9616d2/1ed27117aea00db781b50ec8ee9616d2-getty-84390878mh071_state_farm_ho.jpg I am pretty sure this is a different bat that he used in warm-ups: http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7290/photos/im:urn:newsml:sports.yahoo,getty:20050301:mlb,photo,1ed27117aea00db781b50ec8ee9616d2-getty-84390878mh071_state_farm_ho:1#photoViewer=urn%3Anewsml%3Asports.yahoo%2Cap%3A20050301%3Amlb%2Cphoto%2Cff3a08b8395f48f29de3afe7d1d010b4.all_star_baseball_mlb109%3A1 P.S. I like the fact Fielder wore matching batting gloves for the derby.[/quote] I answered my own question. This was taken from Brewers.com, but still doesn't answer why Fielder had the number 8 on his bat on Monday's Home Run Derby: "Fielder's contribution proved to be the highlight for the Brewers' three representatives in Tuesday's All-Star Game at Busch Stadium. Fielder owes some credit to teammate Rickie Weeks, whose bat the first baseman used both in Monday's Derby, which he won, and again in Tuesday's game. Fielder has hit with Weeks' bat for much of the season. "I don't have a specific bat," Fielder said. "Whatever feels comfortable at the time, I'll use. I switch every now and then. I just like to see something else, I guess. I just won't use the pitcher's bat. I won't go there." In Fielder's previous All-Star appearance, he used the bat of then-teammate Joe Dillon and went 0-for-1."

It's certainly darker than the blue of the Rangers and Canadiens.
