Team Hat

Still on the subject of sports teams 'Championship gear', have you ever bought a championship hat? Did you rush out and grab a 'Edmonton Oilers Western Conference Champions' hat in 2006? I'll admit, I did - I have that one and my 'Tampa Bay Rays 2008 AL East Division Champions' hat are the only two such hats I own (and the TB one was to forever remember beating John Fraser in the bet of who would win the AL East).

You see quite a few of these hats around now....especially around here with all of the 'Saskatchewan Roughriders Grey Cup Champions' hats.

This is a bit hypocritical of me to say, owning two championship hats myself, but here's my take on these hats. You don't need one.

Here's why. If your team is consistently competitive (such as, let's say, the NY Yankees), are you going to buy their AL East Division Champions hat every single year? If not, how do you decide which you do buy and which you don't buy? How do you decide which you will even wear?

Here's the solution....buy a regular Yankees hat (or whoever your team is). The logo on that hat, although it doesn't specifically say it, carries each and ever accomplishment and award that team has earned in their entire HISTORY, and in their entire FUTURE. Your team's logo is far more powerful than any 'division champs' hat from 1987 could ever be.
