Fitted with Issues.

"Major League Baseball is rolling out a new round of Stars and Stripes caps for Memorial Day and it appears that they designed the lids with some common sense this time around.

Please remember last season, when the first round of special hats included a stars-and-stripes emblazoned version of Chief Wahoo on Cleveland's cap. A mini-controversy erupted with most people agreeing that it probably wasn't a good idea to endorse the logo with the elements of the American flag and the ideals that it represents.

This year, MLB is avoiding the firestorm completely and going with the alternative that I suggested, opting to modify the block 'C' cap Bill Clinton wore when throwing out the first pitch at Progressive Field in 1994."

Man, this is tough topic, well at least for me it is. It seems to me that there are a lot of people out there just trying stir up shit, not that this topic is absolutley ridculous. But why now? Is it because the guilt of Americans are starting to finally settle in? Or just another scam for consumers to buy some rare/exculsive items? From reading all the comments posted on the original site, it shows that us as Americans are very confused about what is politically correct or not. Don't get me wrong, if anything, this is an improvement for Americans, but yah like I said earlier, a confusing topic for me. Aesthetically, I think the chief logo looks better, but eff that, im not gonna wear the American flag on my head... Please note, us at Bomb$hell are very patriotic... so if you support us, you are supporting america (notice the lower case 'a'). tahaha.
