You can’t buy an official baseball hat worn on field anywhere to my knowledge. Is there any way to get an on-field style hat?

College bookstore has had them in the past but I don't think they had them in stock last time I was there...pre-covid so they could have restocked since then.

I’d heard that in the past, but had forgotten. Thanks for the memory jog. Just what I needed.

Thought it was strange that the jerseys had the arch OHIO font but the hat didn't. We don't exactly have a great logo/font to put on a baseball hat so I'm not sure what a better option would be. Maybe the entire arch OHIO?

Looked awesome and would love to have it back. Similar to the pictured hat with Coach Kappes during football season 1960 celebration of the small school National Champs. I actually thought the hats towards the end of Carbones era were sweet. I still have 3 of the styles but they are pretty much worn out. As a "Rook," I had to sell replica hats before every home football game for $5. They were ugly green, mesh adjustable hats. Not for me but I would sell them out in less than an hour. Box after box. It always amazed me the quality of hat selection was less than average most years (in the book stores). I have not been down to campus in a year but it was at an all time low during my last visit. I'm a baseball hat snob. Fitted - 6 panel - 8 seams. I do think you could get $30-$40 for a premium OHIO lid. I'd pay it and I know a bunch of alumni that would too.

If you sold those hats in the late 80's, I bought one and loved it. Follow Ohio Football recruiting on the BobcatAttack.com football recruiting database.
