Little pink baseball caps for you and me? I don't think so!


Seriously, what self-respecting female baseball fan would be caught dead wearing this or any other pink bastardization of a baseball cap? I mean, c'mon, that's *so* not the Cubs team colors (unless you're a Cardinals fan.)

Oh, so because I happen to be female, I should want to wear pink all my friggin life? And Pepto-Bismol pink at that? Just because someone somewhere down the line made pink the color for girls and blue the color for boys, are we supposed to brainlessly submit to marketing like the sheep we are and buy a pink hat? Nope. You're not going to see me wearing any other iteration of a cap except official team colors. This goes for the Irish green hats, too, but less passionately.

Now if a team had the cajones to wear pink as part of their team kit, and not on a special "Save the Broads from Cancer" day, I wouldn't have a problem with guys and gals wearing pink to support their team. I'd like to see the day when pink is liberated from being an effeminate color. Let's free ourselves from the tyranny of gender-specific hues!
