Anyone reading my blog knows I’ll buy a baseball cap at, well, at the drop of a hat. But the All-Star game caps just don’t do it for me, this year or any year.
The design is actually not bad. But I just can’t get excited about a batting practice cap. It’s so manufactured, not authentic like a real MLB cap.
If I were at the game and all its sideshows, I might feel differently.
I have a lot of caps too, but my rule is never to buy one unless I have some connection to the event. Like actually being there. It cuts down on the purchases and prevents me from buying this kind of thing, that’s just created to make money.
Caps such as this serve as a reminder at the end of the day, its all about the marketing, branding, and money.
