Did anyone notice if they wore Inaugural season caps with the 2009 World Series patch. I d0 not remember seeing the I season caps on the field. I am thinking the caps I picked up are bad knock-offs of the real caps. OK, call me simple.

Or we can just have those Spike Lee hats with the years of all 27 Series Championships stitched in. YANKEE UNIVERSE!

I can't believe all these guys who are so worked up, complaining about the inaugural logo on the the cap - you stodgy old farts!! Loosen up a little, will ya? How often do they build a new stadium?? Of course they needed to do something big to commemorate it!! I just picked up one of the on-field fitted caps with both the Inaugural patch on the back and the World Series patch on the side, and it looks great. It's my favorite of all of the Yankees World Series on-field caps since 1998, all of which I have. I guess some people just think it makes them seem sophisticated to disapprove of things like this, but they only succeed in sounding silly. Do it again next year, Yanks!!!

If you ask me it makes it a nice collector’s item. You’re not going to be able to get that during any other season. Imagine in like, 2065, someone will break out their 2009 inaugural season hat to impress his buddies. I’ll probably get it. I have the 6 caps with the WS patches (96, 98-2001, 03), last year’s cap with the final season patch and one with the ASG patch which I am currently wearing. I agree with you 100%. Thank you for being a fan and not a whining nitpicker. I have the same collection going plus the 2003 100th anniversary and of course, the current cap in question. This is a once in a lifetime event for the Yankees (and all fans of baseball round the world) and it should be commemorated with a patch in my opinion. And furthermore I believe that the Yankees are the ONLY organization that would be able to justify such a patch being that they are a historic staple of baseball. The House That Ruth Built was an behemoth of a ballpark when it opened, probably scaring the sh*t out of opposing teams as they entered for the first time to 70,000+ screaming New York fans. Leaving those hallowed grounds to play in a new field is and should be commemorated. As for putting a patch on their hat as well as the jersey and putting it on the back vs the side... not every fan who displays their love of the Yankees can put on a jersey with the patch every day as we want to (some of us cant even afford the authentic jersey, tickets are enough of a financial burden), but you can put on your Yankee fitted. And as Tank mentioned, when they make it to the WS, they will need the side for that patch to be affixed (that's a cap I will be picking up too). I look forward to one day taking my first born son (no serious plans for kids yet) to his first game while we're both wearing our Inaugural Season caps. Bottom Line... in my opinion, it's better to offer a commemorative cap than not. If they didn't, there would be fans complaining about not selling one. And more so... no one is being forced to buy one, there are no limitations on those who choose not to buy/wear it, so why make such a big fuss in the first place. P.S. Did you all complain about the Final Season patches too? P.S.S. I'm sure the players feel pride in being the first to take the field in the new stadium and will be keeping a few to keep in their own collections. LETS GO YANKEES Brian from PA
