Walgreens. Every time I see the Nats W logo I think of a fucking pharmacy
Try being a pharmacist lol
Serious question, how did the nats get away with a logo nearly identical to a major pharmacy? Was that not copyrighted?!
They stole it from the Senators/Rangers
I am no expert on such things, but from what little I’ve read on these topics makes me think its a combination of the fact that they are completely different industries (ie, nobody could reasonably believe the nationals sell prescriptions) and that the logos are “just” different enough.
Maybe it’s due to where I live but I think the Wegmans logo when I see their caps
Mets is my biased answer but that old English D for the Tigers goes hard
I wear my Tigers hat all the time here in California and everyone with a past regarding Michigan or the team in general always wants to stop and talk. I love it!

Flew through London Gatwick a couple days ago and only had a 2 hour layover. I somehow saw at least 5 separate people with Tigers hats on there in that short time. And no, I didn’t fly from Detroit.

My husband had the hat for that reason. My pick-up line was asking him what the D on his cap stood for. God bless the Tigers.
I was sporting Tigers ands White Sox hats before Ice Cube. I’m not even a fan of those teams as much as their hats. Classics.
The D is killer. I got one of those in maize as a crossover with the U of M. It’s a favorite of mine.
☝️ he loves the D
Who doesn't
I’m biased, but Tigs all day for me
Olde English D all the way. Classic and cool.
Die hard Dodgers fan and think their uniforms are the best hands down but if we’re just doing the cap … then it’s the Detroit D for me. So awesome.
I'm not a Jays fan, but I've always liked their logo. I always enjoyed the Expos logo too
Loved the old bird on the orioles caps. Like the one Elaine wouldn’t take off in the yankee box. Something about those bird hats hit right
Reluctantly agree
Always liked the white Sox look
New Era made 9,000 White Sox hats in 1990.
In 1991 they made 544,000 White Sox hats and White Sox merchandise was #1 in the nation.
NBC Sports Chicago just dropped a 20 minute special last week on the rebranding of the White Sox logo.

When I was a kid I never understood it. I thought it was supposed to be a little stick figure with big hair.
Yeah I always thought of it as some kind of abstract creature walking too when I was really little
You can blacken out a little piece and it says “Sex” so it’s definitely subliminal.
Such a classic/timeless hat
Ya something about that hat kinda gives off the “I’m not the guy to fuck with” vibe lol
Dr. Dre.....
Ahhhh facts it’s probably my brain thinking to N.W.A.
José Ramírez tested that theory and won

it is and it isn't. The Sox logo was brought back in the 90s but they used a similar (almost the same) logo in the 1950s
“Almost the same” is a bit of a stretch. The design similarities are limited to the diagonal orientation of the letters and the S hooking through the O. The current font is entirely different and that’s what really sets it apart as a great logo.
Its kinda all we got atm
Oh come on, Southpaw just got elected to the Mascot Hall of Fame. So there's that and the Cubano. And on that note I'm going to go pour another nightcap.
The cubano is incredible.. thats true
As a cubs fan I'd have to agree. The logo, the color scheme, it's just too perfect.
If I weren't aligned with any teams and just wanted to get a hat with the design I like the best, it'd be the Sox.
RIP Eazy
I had one as a kid and I sharpied over part of the O so it said sex
Since the original Marlins logo is not included, it has to be the Brewers.

I think it's a masterpiece. The graphic designer who came up with it should be proud.
I didn’t even realize the MB aspect til a few years ago when someone specifically pointed it out to me. As much as I love old school designs like my Phils, that is undeniably creative and amazing
It took me an embarrassingly long time to realise it was an mb.
I think the Phillies old logo was also a simple masterpiece. Wish they still used it.
It was a random guy in a contest fyi. Isn't profiting off it
Yup. Art history student at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, Tom Meindel. He now works designing signs in Eugene, Oregon
It was some guy who got paid like 70’dollars way back when. He got basically nothing for it
Also commonly seen as a tattoo in 414 for its second meaning money over b******
Who would dare hate on that logo? It’s the best piece of graphic design mlb has ever produced. It’s up there with the FedEx logo, obviously for similar reasons.
I hate the M with the wheat logo. Not because it’s bad, but because it’s existence deprives us of seeing the MB glove logo more often.
I always think, “Brewers of Milwaukee”
I hate the Brewers, but that’s a damn near perfect logo. Good for them for going back to it after years of the lame M with the wheat.
the wheat m was better than the crossed bats atrocity they had in the 90s
Yeah that logo is arguably one of the worst ever. Didn't prevent me from wearing that hat nearly every fucking day.
I like the baseball mitt effect of the Brewers too.
Do you know that the mitt has an "m" and a "b" for the Milwaukee brewers
Edit: and a baseball for Milwaukee Brewers Baseball
WOW I feel dumb for never noticing the m and b! Did see the ball though. The m and b make it even better
Yes. That was my point… lol
Not everyone realizes it, though. Clearly lol
TIL. That's awesome.
Brewers ball in glove is one of the best logos in all of sports.
Orioles are the only cap logo there.
Always thought it was a missed opportunity that the bird's cap has a different logo. An infinite regression logo would be sick as hell.
Our new hat is wearing the old hat ugh
it is so good! Cubs fan myself, but the lighthearted Oriole smiling is top notch
Oh you sir are a joker.
Brewers
Top 5: Detroit, Yanks, Atlanta, Brewers, Orioles.
Honorable mentions: Mets,Pirates.
Worst: Washington- Have despised it since the day they released it. Hideous. I try not to look at it honestly.
Pirates, O’s, A’s, White Sox
Say what you want about our shitty team and shitty owner, but the A’s will always have some of the coolest colors and logos
I’m not a Giants fan, but I’ve always loved the look of their gear. The colors are great.
Good colours
I know. That fucking non-white home cream is very attractive.
I wish they had gone cream instead of white for the city connect
I may be biased but the brewers going back to the glove is classic. I’ve always loved the A’s & Rockies uniforms too
Not just a glove. M+b
Seattle or Blue Jays for me
Jays all the way. That’s an f’ing great logo. Looks great on a ball cap.
Brewers or Jays
Old English D
Gave yer mum the olde English D
How about dem O’s?
Yep, orioles and bluejays, then white Sox, brewers
Gotta say, i saw this vintage O's cap and thought it was slicker than owl shit.
The question is really, which logo is 2nd best.
I get triggered about the fact that the Oriole bird's hat isn't himself.

Expos
Every time I wear my expos cap someone talks to me about it
It’s absolutely the Brewers. Nothing comes close to the MB and ball in glove all in one.
My brain just exploded.
50 years from now there will still be people just figuring it out.
50 year old brain chunks that is the legacy of Hfut.
i always hated it as a kid cuz it didnt realize the mb part. never understood why the mitt only had 3 fingers lol
now that i know, it's one of the best in all sports
Jays!
Top 5
1 White Sox for overall style & look 2 Brewers for the hidden glove and ball 3 Detroit with the old school classic D 4 A’s because of the unique color scheme 5 Orioles for being one of the only non lettered designs
I’d say it’s more of a hidden M and B
Sox, Atlanta, Yankees, Detroit
I don’t want to be a biased fan and say Baltimore. So I’ll say Milwaukee and Detroit are tied for me.
As a Cubs fan, it pains me to say the Brewers. The logo is just so clean and cool.
Brewers logo is arguably one of the best logos in all of sports, however, for hats I'd have to go with the O's or Tigers
Rangers, Twins and Padres
Yankees. Most iconic logo in American sports and I’d argue the whole world.
Detroit
Old Twins cap. The serifs are less pronounced now.
I love the new M logo though with the north star
As a Cubs fan. The Brewers logo is slept on by the rest of the league
Props to Os Brewers and Bluejays for keeping it real.
Crew. Not even close. Then Jays and O’s
Pirates caps are definitely popular. I own one even if i am not a fan.
Montreal Expos is the correct answer.
elb?
https://i.imgur.com/DPU8CnM.jpg
Definitely not the Walgreens Nationals.
Definitely 👍 to the BREWERS!
Yankees, Dodgers, Giants, Cardinals, Red Sox
Has to be old Indians logo.
So many classics!
Starting with letter marks: Yanks, Cards, Tigers, and both Sox
And for design it's always gonna be the Brewers.
Yeah not a Yankees fan by any stretch, but that crossing of the N and Y is just so classic.
The fact this isn’t higher is implicit bias. That shit is everywhere. Fake NY caps are the highest selling thing in Brazil and half the people don’t even know what the fuck it is, nor do they care. Link: Google it NYT
Old Indians logo
Since it’s the only logo that actually has a cap in it, the Orioles are the default winners
I tire of people fellating the D like it's not the same as all the other bloody logos, or acting like the Brewers logo is some masterful feet of graphic design. Both cool and nice but none of them are all that different from the rest.
Have you thought about perhaps a blue bird?
It’s missing. Expo le baseball
Brewers by a landslide. So glad they brought it back. Ingenious.
Dodgers fan but love the Blue Jays logo a lot.
I’m a big fan of keeping it simple so I like all the ones with just letters and of those Pirates are my favorite.
Of the ones with more style I’m going with Marlins.
Tough to pick between the Blue Jays, Brewers, and Orioles. If forced to, I’d go with the Brewers. And, as many have pointed out, the Expos had a great one, too.
Not a Yankees fan but classic interlocking NY. Ok I’m a Yankees fan.
Seattle A’s and Pirates
Pains me to say it, as a Cleveland fan, but god that Script D for Detroit is an absolute classic. No notes
As a Cleveland fan, you should realize that’s the wrong logo for your team
STL is a gem.
The current STL is a downgrade from the 1964-2019 STL though.
Orioles. I like their logo and colors. Second place is Cubs
Cubs hat doesn't get enough respect. The only lower-case logo I can think of in any sport.
LA
It’ll never not be Baltimore, that little guy cute 🤣
Detroit, Yankees are also great. Brewers underrated AF, very clever logo.
Imo Yankees, Atlanta, Dodgers, Tigers, Mets top 5. Cubs, Red Sox, White Sox, Athletics, Giants, Blue Jays honourable mentions. Best would probably be NYY.
Royals.
Im a braves fan with around 10 different braves hats. But take them out the equation?
I love the marlins logo. They got some cool hats. Same for the Reds oddly enough.
White Sox or Reds
Just the logo? Probably the Orioles, maybe the A’s.
Whole hat, though… even as a Cubs fan, the Braves hat looks nice as Hell.
I’m biased, of course, but I love the Red’s wishbone C
Cincinnati, The classic wishbone C!
Blue Jay's coming from a diehard Red Sox fan...
I’d probably go with the Blue Jays or Marlins tbh. Just cool looking in general to me.
Brewers and Orioles
Gotta say I love the Brewers logo. And that is coming from a Cardinals fan.
Brewers
I love me the A’s and Blue Jays caps
My bias is the Amazin’s
White Sox and it’s not even close
Credit where it is due, the Brewers have one of the best logos in any sport
White Sox! The uniform is all we have :(
ALWAYS The Atlanta A! 🪓on!
Brew crew baby
Atlanta obviously. So good Alabama Crimson Tide uses it…lol
Top three for me:
The Detroit "D"
The Athletics
Cincinnati
St Louis, White Sox, Reds
Pirates, Tigers, Reds, Braves
Orioles, it’s the only hat on a hat
LAD, NYY, St Louis, are the best ones from the classics. Blue Jays is the best one from the modern era. CWS one is pretty cool too.
If Cleveland still had Chief Wahoo as a logo, then they would have the best cap, hands down.
Brewers followed closely by Orioles
I always loved the Texas “T” because when I was little my grandpa would where one and always told me it was for my name and he was my biggest fan. Then when I saw other people I thought they were wearing it for me too. It was a pretty uplifting thing for kid me.
Besides the Brewers I’ve always loved the Mariners, White Sox, and Blue Jays hats. I love the Twins new hat as well.
Giants
I personally think the whole NL East is stacked. Phillies is top tier, Braves is iconic, Marlins is fashionable, Mets is classic, Nats is GOATed.
Walgreens? Really? Everyone is entitled to their opinion I suppose.
NL East hats just got that swag
The old Indians Chief Wahoo hat
Love my olde English D cap. I like the look of the caps for the Royals, Dodgers, Giants and A’s.
New texas rangers one is nice
I like the Duck
Brewers.
What a fucking logo, man.
That Detroit D will always be the best
Detroit Tigers
Yankees just because it’s iconic. As far as actual design, it’s Arizona hands down
All of them, honestly. Except Arizona, Miami, and Walgreens.
Rockies kind of meh
The only team that uses green :)
Non biased. Órelas and A’s the background is the most unique. Worst one is the Walgreens looking one in the bottom right
Look I have always loved the classic look of the T on my beloved Rangers however, it's the Blue Jays.
My favourites are probably the Red Sox, Cubs, and Yankees. Fuck the Yankees, but I can respect their cap logo.
Least favourite by far is the DBacks. I like the DBacks as a team, but their branding is pretty shit compared to the rest of the MLB imo.
Excluding my team I’ll go NYY, LAD, Cubs, Brewers, and Detroit. Honorable mention to STL and the A’s
Take away the letters and birds
Diamondbacks have best A, Brewers got best B, Cubs have best C
Dads
The Cubs cap has a simplistic perfection to it.
Orioles Cartoon Bird
FOR THE A
I always liked the Rockies logo. The Angels logo goes hard too.
Tampa Bay with Devil Ray is pretty sick
Love the Pads, but NYY and BOS are iconic, STL is also extremely nice to look at but that CIN C is probably the best, to me, after those top 3 (that are far ahead of the rest)
Mariners- S for Seattle, Nautical compass combined with a baseball = classic
O’s
strictly for my favorite colors that are also complimentary - astros and mets
I think the Diamondbacks logo is underrated. The black/red/teal logo is fire.
Ever since I realized what the Brewers logo was, it’s been the coolest one in my book
