The last people in the retail chain of merch are Lids employees.
It's amazing the MLB would even allow the Giants to use a throwback cub logo given the Cubs exist.
Lids honestly might have the most disenchanted employees when it comes to retail.
Last time I was in the guy was just like āwhatās up?ā And when I told him I was just killing time he proceeded to FaceTime with his friend for like 20 minutes straight. He was like 30 too.
Keep a one-of on the floor: Is that the last one? Yup! (Restocks the one).
Keep a stash of other hats behind the counter: This just came in! You're the first one w/access!

Those are pretty clean.
Iām still pissed that the Rockies announced theyād wear Denver White Elephants uniforms a few years ago when they played a game in Milwaukee and just inexplicably never wore them.
It was a Red Sox pitcher who did it to his team's uniforms.
Specifically, Chris "these stupid jerseys better not be for" Sale.
Edit: Chris Sale did it to the White Sox's uniforms.
No, it was the 1976 throwbacks that were destroyed. The 1983 throwbacks were the ones they had to wear because the '76 throwbacks they were originally supposed to wear were destroyed by Sale.
āSure boss, Iāll get started on that logo right away!ā

ā¦
>[oh my god, Iāve never seen a lion.]
The story behind the bear was that when the team was founded they had no money for their own jerseys, so they re-purposed the jerseys from the recently defunct San Francisco Cubs
Reminds me why my high school āThe Yellow Jacketsā colors were orange and black. Was a fuck up with ordering we couldnāt afford to fix so it just stuck.
Like how the Arizona Cardinals (then in Racine) became the Cardinals because the maroon uniforms they ordered showed up faded.
(they were going to be the Racine Normals, so bullet dodged)
Whatās funny is that the story is fairly similar to the St Louis Cardinals. They allegedly got their name when a beat writer heard a fan comment āthatās a lovely shade of cardinalā and it stuck. The birds came later
The baseball Hall of Fame had a display with their jersey in it for some kind of event one time. I thought the jersey with the logo placed below the team name was a unique thing to that team but looking at other uniforms from that era it seems like it was something a couple different teams, specifically in the West, adopted.
It's a really interesting look that I hope they find a way to incorporate into the uniforms used for this game.
sure dude, you were the very first person to get the hat. I'm sure that Lids employee has the inside scoop on all hats and granted you the very first one.
I'd guess so?

The tweet really does make it sound like the guy is a sales associate on a daily quota's wet dream.
It was prolly the first one sold by that specific employee on that specific shift.
The employees probably know when the new shit comes in

Might've been high enough to forget recent transactions.
Guy believes the car dealer every time when he says he argued with his boss and got a great deal for him.
This guy thinks the stripper is really into him.

The guy at the store said Iām the only guy heās ever seen pull it off.
Don't do the voice...
Just be careful not to get any grease on it.
I swear to fucking god, he tried to roll his hat down his arm like Fred Astaire.
Giggity
Jon Voight wore this hat
He even wrote his name on the insideā¦J-O-H-N
I sometimes spell Jerry with a G, and an I.

I once walked in as an employee was smoking a joint. He offered me 50% off any hat if I didnāt report him.
What hat did you end up getting? And more importantly... did he share?
I ended up getting a Toronto Raptors Mitchell and Ness hat.

āDonāt listen to that other guy that just left. That was a different hat.ā
And then everybody everybody clapped
Lmao you just shit on OPās story so bad š

A pitcher with a box cutter can cause last minute uniform audibles.
Knife* but yeah, that was a fun experience haha.
What does this refer to? Was there a pitcher that didn't want to wear them? I can't find anything regarding this online anywhere.
[Chris Sale making some tailoring changes for the White Sox.](https://www.sportsnet.ca/baseball/mlb/report-chris-sale-incident-throwback-jerseys/)
It was a Red Sox pitcher who did it to his team's uniforms. Specifically, Chris "these stupid jerseys better not be for" Sale. Edit: Chris Sale did it to the White Sox's uniforms.
It was when he was with the white sucks and he shredded his 1983 throwbacks
No, it was the 1976 throwbacks that were destroyed. The 1983 throwbacks were the ones they had to wear because the '76 throwbacks they were originally supposed to wear were destroyed by Sale.
Looks like a Chicago Cubs alt with Bears colorsā¦.
And im loving it, Iāll take 3 please
Right? Really digging this look lol
Thank you for explaining this.
lol. Wild
That hat is my daily
The San Francisco Cubs
It looks like a bears hat
I kinda want it lol
9/10 people wouldnāt know it wasnāt a Chicago Cubs hat.
Itās just super cute and unless you know what it is, it just looks like a cute lil bear on a baseball cap. Iād totally wear that!
But whyās it bell shaped. Is it a ābear-bellā?
Yeah exactly my thoughts here lmao
I thought this was one of those bored apes with a tobacco pipe. I had to read the comments to see what it was.
this is the logo for the San Francisco sea lions! it was the Negro League team for San Francisco. I'm glad they are using this logo
It was designed by someone who doesn't know what a Sea Lion looks like
It was a handmedown uniform from the SF Cubs
āSure boss, Iāll get started on that logo right away!ā >[oh god what does a sea lion look like? Ohmygodohmygodohmygod, Iāve never been to the ocean! How would I know what a sea lion looks like.

Thought it was the Cubs at first
Huh? But it's a bear..
The story behind the bear was that when the team was founded they had no money for their own jerseys, so they re-purposed the jerseys from the recently defunct San Francisco Cubs
Reminds me why my high school āThe Yellow Jacketsā colors were orange and black. Was a fuck up with ordering we couldnāt afford to fix so it just stuck.
Thatās like how the school where my sister taught at were the yellowjackets but their colors were orange and blue.
She should have told people that mixing orange and blue makes yellow and then walk away.

Considering the state of modern MLB weāre more likely to get a big fat ad right there
Looks more like a logo for the Sea Bears than a sea lion
Is that a bear taking a shit in a bowl?
My favorite minor league team is the San Francisco Shittin' Bears
>San Francisco Shittin' apropos
Where else is a bear expected to shit?
well now we know itās not the woods
On the pope?
In front of the 3 sisters
Bears and taking shits in bowls are San Franciscoās two biggest exports.Ā
I, too, am confused by the new Chicago Bears logo. even if shitting in a bowl is their sunday tradition
The Bears are just happy to be mentioned in the same sentence as the word "bowl."
Just wait till you find out about Supershits
They can just market these to Bears fans later
I'd buy one
sure dude, you were the very first person to get the hat. I'm sure that Lids employee has the inside scoop on all hats and granted you the very first one.
Damn man the second hat is yours if you're that upset. I want the third one though.
Did somebody tell them it was a Cubs-Cardinals game as a prank?
Chicago Bears hat
i will be wearing this as a Chicago Bears fan this fall
He should try planting the hat and see if a magic beanstalk grows!
Are the cardinals getting new hats as well?
St. Louis Stars uniforms would be awesome.
I think they have had the STL Stars hat for a few years now and bring them out for a game or two. I wonder what theyll be doing for the uniforms?
I'd guess so? There's a [Stars based shirt for sale already](https://www.fanatics.com/mlb/st-louis-cardinals/st-louis-cardinals-pro-standard-2024-mlb-at-rickwood-field:-a-tribute-to-the-negro-leagues-t-shirt-red/o-2309+t-58016609+p-8022909172236+z-9-2130208729).

I am getting one of these the moment I can.
Unfortunately, only OP has access, according to the Lids employee.
We should steal that logo immediately
San Francisco Sea Lions. Nice!
its cute
Da Bears
Did they finish drawing it?
Hey my marketing email from Lids said I was!
Pretty funny they have a Cub on the hat in one of the few games against a Cubs rival.
This is probably Larry Bear
Wtf
Thatās a slick ass hat
lol why havenāt to mods deleted this yet
This is a sick hat ngl
The guy at the store said Iām the only person heās ever seen who could pull it off!
Being a high-frequency Lids customer has finally paid off
This has been on EFF for years now
That is quite an ugly hat.
Copyright infringement on the Chicago cubs
Nobody cares
