Orioles' Friday Hats


I hate the Orioles' Friday night "alternate" hats. The normal two hats, with the bird and either a black or orange bill both look great. I have no idea why the team would think that they need to wear a different hat for Friday night games, especially one that looks so ugly. We need to get Uni Watch to take up this issue and fight for us to get rid of the stupid 3rd hat (along with getting Baltimore on the away jerseys).

I'm also not really sure why there is an apostrophe on the hat. "O's" means possessive, it should be "Os" meaning the plural "Orioles."

Bedard looked good tonight. I've been really happy with the starting pitching so far this year. It feels like the Orioles have the basis for a good team, just not a team that can compete with the mercenary powerhouses in their division. Attendance didn't look very good again tonight, even with a free wool hat giveaway. J-Red is doing his part to help attendance tonight.

I personally like the alternate hats, so long as they only use them in Spring Training or on certain occasions, like Friday night home games.

As for the O's v. Os distinction, I understand the apostrophe to indicate a contraction of the word Orioles. Os is a word too, meaning a small opening. It's most commonly used when referring to the opening in the cervix. I don't want to be reminded of that every time I think of my baseball team.

Alright, I'll concede the contraction thing, but I don't know how you can like the hats. I'd rather see them wear the cartoon bird hats on Friday home games than the "O's" ones.
