I dont think it unfair for you to have your opinion, or voice it, as long as its done in a respectable manner. I have complete confidence in OS mods to let you know if you've crossed that line.
But thats only my opinion.
As for myself, IMO the leap from 16 to 17, uni-wise, is unbelievable. It wouldnt bother me at all if in 18 they put uniform work on the back burner, and spent that time elsewhere. But then, I'm not that heavy into uniforms. So Sony would probably be better off not listening tome

Now I'm not one for adding ads or anything like that to unis, but I actually like the New Era logo being on the side of the caps. It's not a big or distracting logo (I like the logo itself) and it adds a pop of color on the side where it's normally just plain. Just my opinion

I'm sure I will eventually get used to it but til then I'm not happy about it and hope they revert at some time. I rememember about 25 years ago I wasnt happy when they started putting the MLB logo on the back of fitted caps. But now I wouldnt have it any other way.

I don't want to derail the thread with all of the reasons I hate it but I will say that I personally think it sticks out like a sore thumb. My eye is immediately drawn to it during press conferences and cutaways to the dugout. It's particularly bad when the flag is white and the background is navy or black.

I get what you're saying about 'pop' but I feel that the batterman does a good enough job of spicing caps up. Another logo just clutters the cap AFAIC.

The cap side logo really bothers me. I agree with the earlier comment that I hope they revert back. I would love a team logo only cap again, no new era or MLB logo. It really hurts the look of teams like the Tigers or Yankees with the classic look caps. I'll never purchase a cap with that on it, it is really the only way to get it removed is if the sales drop. No disrespect to those who like it but it's just not for me.

Sales will never drop low enough for them to revert back on this. Most people who buy the caps don't care about that logo on the side. You and a couple others who decide to boycott the product won't even make a dent on their financial gains from this. Sadly this is just the truth.

And this is exactly why it's done and why it won't go away. You just admitted that your eyes are immediately drawn to it and that's exactly what New Era wants. This is just the way it's gonna be from now on because from a business perspective it makes perfect sense.

The economics of this ploy become muddled when people like me get irritated that their eyes are drawn to an ugly (IMO) ad on the cap and consequently lose interest in collecting the things.

I've bought a ton of 5950's brand new during the last year but that's not gonna continue so long as they have the flag. I'll pick up old stock in-store while it's still available and then continue to buy flag-free caps on Ebay but that'll be it for me besides the odd new release that's worth the trouble of removing the flag.
