Ugh…as in ugly.

Still, it’s for a worthy cause, so, go ahead and wear it.

Well, to some purist like me it is.. If not for the cause this is providing, I don’t think it’s the right move nor does it send the right message… To me it would appear the Yankees are marketing some flimsy hat that is the hottest trend in sports..No offense, but, I rather leave the latest fashion in clothes and sports apparel to the fashion police….Some things are just best left alone in a tradition sense…. On another note.. Would you want to see Pro Golfer in shorts?…

No worries. Everyone here has their heart in the right place. If they’re going to screw with the uni, at least they’re doing it for a good cause.

YUP!!… believe me.. If I had know from the beginning, I would be on board a lot quicker.. I just thought this was some publicity stunt.. But Thanks again for pointing that out.. Hey Steve, you should re-title this post and Say, Yankees change caps for the Good of the Vets.. IMO…

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of these hats will go to the WBV fund.
From MLB.com
Welcome Back Veterans (WBV) is an initiative launched by Major League Baseball and the McCormick Foundation to raise public awareness about issues facing today’s veterans, and to raise funds to support programs and services that these returning soldiers need to repair and restore their lives.
I get that they’re ugly. I get that you’re all for the tradition of the hat and the logo, but this is a VERY temporary thing, that all MLB is doing, to raise money for a worthwhile cause. Give it a break.

I had no idea that was the reason.. No mention of it on the web site nor in Steves post.. So, I will make a nod and say its for a worthy cause..
Thank You for pointing that out…
