Welp …
It doesn’t seem like it would be that difficult to come up with yearly ideas for new baseball hats. Throw in some new colorways, play with some vintage logos — perhaps commission a well-known artist to reimagine a hat for each team. Somehow everything keeps going wrong, and this year’s New Era “Overlap” hats are going viral for creating some of the funniest, stupidest, most-amazing hats we’ve ever seen.
Conceptually the idea is simple: What if we overlaid a team logo on top of the name of the city or the team? Unfortunately nobody paused for two seconds to think what this would create, and so we got THESE.
