So while this cap would have been the perfect costume for a kid playing Cross Country Canada, the design doesnвЂ™t dazzle on the diamond. The Blue Jays were birthed into baseball in the 1970s, so itвЂ™s hardly their fault they came away with a hat befitting a Canadian trucker.

It is everything that is right (and wrong) about 1970s baseball fashion. I'm not sure anyone other than managers and coaches ever wore this hat. Thunders on this list.Д®dtitor's note: 'Ice cream! Get yer ice cream!' Thunder.ДЄnd youвЂ™re about to see a lot of Dr. Like a diet pop you keep drinking anyway, you eventually see the resemblance to the original - and hell, a diet Dr. That said, when you start stacking this design against the other caps of the 70s, it grows on you.

Replacing traces of gold with shades of green gets rid of the greatest color-combo in the game, settling for a Celtics-like scheme that doesnвЂ™t suit the AвЂ™s as much. The gold, green and white motif has always stood the test of time, as has the simplicity of that iconic A-apostrophe-s.Д«ut this rejection of their roots, this alternate hat they put atop their heads in the 70s - itвЂ™s subtraction by subtraction. Traditionally, the AвЂ™s have donned some of the sweetest uniforms in baseball, regardless of the era. That cap is a thing of beauty and a reminder of an era when players like Gary Carter and Andre Dawson were among baseball's best. But if Americans can embrace the Statue of Liberty, they can liberate the Expos' history from the ashes of relocation by keeping the cap a part of baseball culture.Д®ditors' note: You got this one right. While the multi-colored panels, ending at blue brim and button, risk looking like a propeller beanie, it seems to work with these particular shades of red and blue. The flowing вЂњMвЂќ succeeds where more angular fonts fail, while the вЂњeвЂќ and вЂњbвЂќ hidden in plain sight makes sure вЂњExpos baseballвЂќ is never forgotten. The colors of the French flag, coupled with a logo that inspires lore and mystery results in a bittersweet reminder of the Montreal franchise that was. Major League Baseball may have taken your team, but they can never take your cap - the most beautiful, albeit un-American, red, white and blue baseball hat of the decade. Д«ut withВ the teams that dared to design with impunity, one millennial ranks them, from the best brim to the baddest look on a scale of one to five flower-power emojis рџЊј, in the spirit of the 70sВ - because why the hell not?ДЄnd one cranky (I kid), not-so-millennial editor puts a kid in his place, restoring old caps to their proper glory.

They look, have looked and always will look how they look. The teams that kept their caps classic need not apply to this list - franchises like the Yankees, Dodgers and Reds age like Pharrell Williams. Thus, Sporting News has sent in a sacrificial millennial - a man unbeholden to 70s nostalgia - to rank these strange hats of yesteryear. And the new vanguard holding tight to baseball's past defend these designs to the death. The era of bold colors and bold hats has now become history.
