A's hats

[Providence A's]

I'm up to 22 of them. They're all fitted. There are game hats, minor league hats, World Series hats, Cooperstown hats, and a couple "fashion" hats.

That is quite a collection. About how much did it all cost you?

[Providence A's]

5 of the 22 were gifts. 17 of them I've bought over the course of 5 years. I'd say each was about $30 with some being less than that and a some more, but an average of $30 each seems reasonable. That would mean I've spent about $510 over the 5 years; about $100 a year / 3.5 hats a year.

The hats are as follows:

-A's home with USA flag patch
-A's road
-A's alternate (which they don't use anymore)
-A's BP
-Modesto A's (former advanced A, now Modesto Nuts and part of another organization)
-Stockton Ports (replaced Modesto as advanced A)
-Kane County Cougars (low class A)
-Vancouver Canadians (short season A)
-Midland Rockhounds (AA)
-Sacramento Rovercats (AAA)
-1972 World Series patch
-1973 World Series patch
-1974 World Series patch
-1989 World Series patch (all 4 were part of the New Era 50th anniversary series)
-1900s Philadelphia A's Cooperstown (the all blue one)
-1920s Philadelphia A's Cooperstown (white and navy blue)
-1963-1967 KC A's
-1970s A's (the cream hat with the lighter green and bigger logo)
-all black
-royal blue with white lettering
-gray with oakland on front like the road jersey (says A's on back where MLB logo would be)
-I forget the name of the other design, but it has an "x" of white satin cutting across the hat and has an A's logo on the back

Nice collection. Wow, and I thought I bought a lot of A's gear.

I just order 2 new hats along with a Father's Day Red Sox BP hat for my Dad.


a new one

the other new one

Hatland is a great site with hundreds of hats and the prices are usually cheaper than ordering directly from New Era...they ship out of Maryland. All 3 of these hats cost $72 or $24 each. Also, if you order 3 or more, you get free shipping.

I really like the all green hat with yellow lettering. The one I wear all the time is the opposite. The one I never wear has a smattering of yellow, green, white, and gray all over it and has the elephant on the bill.

you mean you really like the road hat?

Is this the hat you have?



I wear the BP one the most because it is very comfortable...I like the looks of the all black one and the royal blue with the white lettering. This is the site if anyone is interested:

No, the elephant is on the bill and it's barely noticable. I got it off the site that mission posted about, like almost a year ago, when they were going out of business and it was only a couple of dollars.

The A's logo is in white, front of the cap mostly green, back is mostly yellow, brim of the hat is white, etc.

who makes it? New Era? All the hats I have are New Era except the cream colored one with the lighter colored / goofier looking "A's" logo...bottom right of the 1st pic.
