The Only Good Thing About Your Team Not Winning the World Series

The only good thing about your team not winning the World Series is that you will have no emotional desire to buy this hat. Man is this thing brutal -- and you can't even see the extra gray swooshie-thing that wraps around the back of the cap in this photo.

Wow.

Not good, not good at all.

This type of ugliness is typically reserved for the world of NASCAR. I'll sadly admit that the White Sox's World Series hat was fairly NASCAR itself (and that didn't stop it from making my Christmas list) but this hat takes that to a whole new level. Plus, gray and black for the St. Louis Cardinals?!? C'mon!

Let me be the first to suggest that if the world champion hats continue to get uglier the players should make this a topic in their next labor agreement. Someone has to put a stop to this.

(Of course, style is a matter of taste and if you'd like to dedicate $29.99 of your disposable income on this design, MLB.com is taking orders).

And don't worry -- they'll sell TONS of these things. Why? Because if it was my team I'd want one. After all, it says "World Series Champions," and it isn't everyday that your team's logo is placed directly above those glorious words.
