New Era comes out with worst Oakland A’s hat ever

There are some general rules to being an Oakland A’s fan. Rooting against the Giants, the nemesis across the Bay, is fairly high on that list. No self respecting A’s fan would ever wear Giants’ gear, even if it somehow referenced the A’s as well.

Leave it to New Era to ignore that concept. They are back with their atrocious hat designs, putting both the A’s and Giants logos together on their “Battle of the Bay”hat.

New Era creates worst Oakland A’s hat yet

Somehow, New Era thinks that people are willingly going to spend $47.99 on this abomination. Maybe the “I hope everyone has fun” crowd will be interested in this hat, but they should probably expect to be mocked extensively if they actually wear it out of the house.

This is not the first time that New Era has created such a disturbing combination. They had such a hat for the Red Sox and Yankees, because there are fans of those teams that do not utterly detest the other. Good luck wearing such a cap at Fenway or Yankee Stadium.

At this point, one has to wonder if there is anyone who questions these designs. It is as though New Era is going out of their way to create worse and worse hats for market consumption. Even though these designs are almost universally reviled, the premise that any publicity is good publicity must echo through their halls and boardrooms.

But publicity only goes so far. People need to actually purchase these creations. In that case, New Era may be staring at a warehouse full of these ridiculous hats for a long time coming.

Once again, New Era has produced a hat that no one would ever want. Having the Oakland A’s and San Francisco Giants logos together is an abomination.
