Welcome to "The Best," a new series from the people who brought you "Would You Do," "Blogger Interviews" and "What Really Grinds My Gears."It's just what it sounds like: what's the best ______? "Best" is such a subjective word and that's really the point -- let's get you guys talking! If this works, there will be intelligent, thoughtful debate on the day's topic. And if it doesn't work, well, back to the drawing board.
During our childhood we had a monthly date with our dad at Montgomery Ward. We weren't there for socks or patio furniture (though we do love a nice pair of white socks; patio furniture, on the other hand, we find very uncomfortable). Rather, we were there for their awesome selection of baseball hats.
Our selection process was easy: choose the coolest-looking hat they had in stock. For a while we rocked a Cleveland hat and then that navy-blue St. Louis hat. There was a Kansas City hat in there at some point too.
Now, the only hat we wear is a San Francisco one, but we still enjoy the MLB hat as the most distinguishable aspect of a team's uniform.
The best MLB hat? Some things to take into consideration:
-Logo vs. city initials (we prefer the latter)
-Colors-Single-tone vs. two-tone (do you like the brim being a different color than the body?)
-Overall look of it (we love intertwined letters)This is a toughy, but here goes: The best current MLB hats (though the old Expos hat was awesome!) ...
5. Atlanta
4. Detroit2. St. Louis
Your turn.

Alway liked the Twins lid.
Can we do a throwback post? I love the old trident M's hat, and the old brown, yellow and white Padres hat.
Yeah, the Twins hat with the TC logo.
For years I always thought the old Expo hat said "elb"...
Here are my top 5
1. Yankees - the most recognizable hat in the world
2. Pirates - (all black with yellow P)simple, clean, and clear
3. Cubs - (all blue with red C)
4. Tigers - Old English rules
5. Dodgers - another classic
5. Giants - another classic II

The Senators/Nationals red hat is sick.
Cinci Reds all the way!!
I wouldn't be caught dead wearing a cap while I still have a full head of hair...but
2. Reds
1. Tigers
Gotta love the Twins home "TC" hat and I also like the Cardinals "Sunday hat" - the dark cap, red brim and cardinal logo on it.
The A's - We live in a MLB era dominated by blues, blacks, and reds. The A's lid (and uniform) is a freshing change of pace.
Watch a Brewers home game on a Friday night to see the best hat.
The old school MB in the shape of a baseball glove is classic
the brewers retro cap.... best ever. the ball in glove logo with the m.b. initials was genius
Pirates painters cap from the 70's.
The Royals have a great hat. Of course, the team is not as old as those mentioned, but it hasn't changed much. Always white lettering on blue, always had the city initials, and looks the same today as it did in the past.
Nice job. I would probably rank them:
1. Yankees
2. Tigers
3. Cardinals
4. Pirates
5. Reds
... but the Dodgers, Giants, and Red Sox have an honorable mention.
The Phillies hat rocks
It's hard for me to rank current hats just because they are all so similar.
But for throwbacks it's all about the aforementioned Brew Crew lid, the Reds baseball with a mustache and hat, and the 70's Orioles hat with the cartoon bird logo, white front panel and orange brim.
Ok here are my least favorite, in no particular order:
Twins, Blue Jays, Rangers, Milwaukee (current), Rockies
I like the new Solid Blue Braves alternate road cap. It has a classic look.
The White Sox have the best lid in the majors.
Other good ones:
The old school Baltimore hat with the cartoon bird head
The old Brewers hat with the glove
Expos
Nationals lid is nice
Worst hat in baseball:
Cubs (just seeing "Cubbie blue" makes me cringe)
Pirates
Old Brewers
Astros
Seattle
Twins (TC)
its gotta be the twins. its recognizable and classy.
1. Tigers
2. Twins (TC)
3. Pirates
4. Dodgers
5. Red Sox
6. A's
A few older hats worth mention:
Astros (H inside star) hat
White Sox "Sox" hat (the red and white ones in the early 70's were cool too)
Easy answer, for best hat I go with the Life Lock hat.

Seriously Zach, what is up w/ these ads in the comments section?
I mean I know you have to pay bills and all...
Oh yeah, NY Mets is the second best hat, just the blue and orange, it's sick.
Atlanta's hat looks like something from the Little League--right up there with the Chief and Chop
how about the 70s era Pirate's hat--the round job with the stripes--not to mention Stargell's little merit badges
1. Brewers glove logo lid
2. 70s Pirates painters cap
3. Diamondbacks red cap
Chris, you're a douche.
I love the old Expos hat. But for my money, I will take the old school Angels hat from the 1970s. So here's my list:
5. Pirates stove top.
4. Brewers mit hat.
3. Twins TC logo.
2. Angels 1970s.
1. Expos
BTW, did anybody like the American flag hats on the fourth? Those were pretty cool.
Still an old school Milwaukee Brewers hat fan. Had the M and the B and the logo (the MB made a glove with a ball). Not sure why they got rid of it.
1. Mets (all black/orange outline)
2. Reds (all red)
3. Twins (TC logo and M logo)
4. Indians (navy-indian head)
bonus
5. Mariners (1995 sunday teal cap)

Indians.
Here are my Top 6:
1. Astros
2. New Red Sox
3. White Sox
4. Pirates
5. Cardinals Sunday cap
6. Rockies
This is how I would rank my top 5:
1.New York Mets
2.St. Louis Cardinals
3.New York Yankees?(BOSTON FAN)
4.Boston Red Sox
5.Los Angels Dogers
Twins TC logo is out. They are not the "Twin City Twins" any more. They changed their name to the Minnesota Twins. Call me a purist, but Minnesota does not begin with a T or a C. It's a great hat, but should not be worn anymore. Do the Nationals wear the M hat worn by the Expos?
1. Yankees
2. Blue Jays (with the old school logo)
3. Rockies (black base purple brim)
4. Cardinals
5. Reds (red base black brim)
Im going to go out of the crowd because you gotta love the Florida Marlins lid and to top it off they should put the silver bill on the cap that would be perfect.
Athletics hat: Gold brim
Dodgers Hat: That blue and white mix is so sick
Pirates: Gold Brim
Seatle Hat: dirty colors
Twins Hat: only with the TC (my nickname is TC so...)
Indians or cardinals.
Prefer to have a picture rather than a letter(s)
1. Red Yellow and Black Pirates Hat
2. Oakland Athletics Yellow Brim
3. Original Yankees Hat
4. LA Dodgers Hat
5. Old School Orioles Hat
mine would be:
1)reds

3)arizona

Washington has a great looking hat. The white curly 'W' has a small navy blue border which gives the W a slight blue glow.
