New Era mixed font hats

[Banedon]

Good gracious. It looks like when t-shirts accidentally get two different designs overlaid.

Sports clothing designers truly hate sports and sports fans

That legitimately looked like "Cobs" at a quick glance.

 

Holy hell that's an eyesore.

I would love to have a Cobs hat to wear for the next couple of years while things aren’t good.

And then just not wear a hat the rest of those years?

Did someone get paid to come up with this idea and then design it? :?

Here's a still and quote from the focus group that was used in the design process of these hats:

Now they have hats with upsidedown logos. They’ve officially run out of ideas.

I just saw this

 

 

I feel like they have to be creating these terrible designs on purpose...just cant figure out what that purpose is yet. In the past 2 months they put out that clip art looking hat with a ton of laughable inaccuracies, then the weird font and now upside down logos. This is a strategy of some sorts.

isn't an upside down C ... just a C?

touche. I guess for the C's they just reversed the logo. But here are a few other examples

Its so you can look at yourself in the mirror and still read the cap.

The “Charles Manson” cap?

That hat looks like it was designed by a 4 year old who is learning how to write their letters and frequently writes them backwards.

 

I can’t wait to see what terrible idea they come up with next.

Hopefully a rally cap. It always looks like it's on inside out.

I used to have a black Cubs hat with white-outlined black block lettered CHICAGO across the front and on the skull area there was all the different logos from over the years. It was given to me by an old gf and at first I thought it was too busy but over time I grew to love it. I am trying to find it on Google images and am coming up empty. Anyone know the hat I'm talking about? I remember it was celebrating 100 years of something MLB and the tag inside was gold as well as the MLB logo on the back IIRC.

I totally want to play for "V"

Again this has to be some sort of weird marketing strategy. Either that or I've lost track of what is cool
