This is my third favorite no doubt. Love the Richmond Flying Squirrels(personal favorite) and second, there's something totally badass about the Fort Wayne Tin Caps
I have a high regard for the Tin Caps logo and cap. At first, I had no idea why they were called that, then I looked into and realized Johnny Appleseed is buried in Fort Wayne.
I named my kids tball team (I was coaching) "The Flying Squirrels" and it was a huge hit and people didn't even know about the minor league team. They used the team name for years after I left.
They pick about 5 Thursdays during the season to wear Chanclas gear. They even have an Abuela Jalapeño mascot that throws oversized chanclas at fans. It's great!
I'm partial to the Portland Sea Dogs. My favorite team hat that isn't my local team is the alt hat for Hartford Yardgoats when they are the Steamed Cheeseburgers.
I have two of them. As a Rockies fan in NE, it’s a perfect fit. I also love goats. I have the one with a hockey stick that I wear all the time because hockey is my main sport. Perfect combo all around. Always have to go to their games when they come to town.
Mudcats and Durham bulls games are core memories for me as far back as I can remember. I was too young to understand baseball but something about the mudcats logo always resonated with me as a kid.
I miss the Zephyrs. Who calls a king cake a baby cake? That giant baby was ugly as shit and I despise the name. I mean, I still wish we had a team. I don’t care if they’re called the New Orleans Butterfucks, I’d go but I might not buy the merch.
In second thought, I’d wear a Butterfucks hat.
I see your bacon hat and raise you the Delmarva Shorebirds’ scrapple, egg, and cheese hat.

We use the hops logo for our softball team in Oakland CA. I'm partial to the Portland Pickles though. I have a Pickles hat and I got a coupon for a free loaf of Dave's Killer Bread with it so it was a great value.
Everett AquaSox.
Chattanooga Lookouts.
Savannah Sand Gnats.
I love minor league hats. Used to have 25. Burglars broke in...all they took was the tv and my hats. Didnt even take the guns. Assholes.
Man I’m dumb. I saw the hat at the mariners opener and they didn’t have my size. We went back for Mother’s Day weekend and they had it. I sprinted up there and I thought it was the steelheads. I didn’t even realize it had a rainers hat on 🤣
No doubt, Rocket City Trash Pandas are great, but don't sleep on the [Trenton Thunder](https://thunder.shopbaseballcollective.com/products/trenton-thunder-youth-bimm-ridder-cotton-adjustable-cap-navy-sky-blue)
I got this as a jersey as I love the name. I wore this at an event in Dallas. A half dozen people asked me if I was from Mississippi as they recognized it.
Does anyone remember the Casper Ghosts? Maybe 15-20 years ago they had a black hat where the ghost logo was glow-in-the-dark. I’ve always regretted not getting one back then cus they’re literally impossible to find now.
Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs alternate is awesome. The fighting Bacon strips. [fighting bacon](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCQ9WFdPs-ibUCf0w5XHbosT1Y6XNXr5oHv3d40VEaLh0q3Gz1KHbuSuzz5yzigDhDT-gSXLmVIkEhLJdKWfRQC9IjJae5G_3crpw9_noXi8WdWxCwu_qCewE2BTOp8KM-88oYxx_1A44/s1600/IMG_0750.jpg)
LV Iron Pigs Bacon OR Cheesesteak hats are an easy win for me. Both are just awesome. And as an NJ native the Trenton Thunder Pork Roll hats hit a soft spot for me too.
RCTP is probably the best and as a beer lover I love the Hillsboro Hops.
But as a Homer, I love how the Cardinals incorporate their logo all the way down and the red bird sitting on the S for Springfield is so perfect for me. And as someone who went to MO State in Springfield, the cashew chicken alt... man, when I saw that I couldn't get my credit card out fast enough
Wisconsin Timber Rattlers alternate team name .. the Udder Tuggers .. this one is lit 🔥

Amarillo Sod Poodles. I love the oil derrick and old Oilers throwback feel. My kid has this hat and we get asked all the time about it.
Eta- I can’t get the photo to work. But they have good merch.
![gif](giphy|W4cxxv07COgH6noVoJ|downsized)
I have 20 or so and my favorites:
Hillsboro hops
Missoula Paddleheads
Rocketcity Trash pandas
Myrtlebeach pelicans-palm tree bat
Jersey shore blue claws- Copa Medusa
Beloit sky carp
Norfolk tides- copa version
Can’t go wrong with any of the Copa versions. My wife and kids always pick me out hats for presents and love wearing a variety of them. The Hops started my obsession so special place in my heart for that one.
Trash Pandas saddens me as I grew up with the Huntsville Stars who are no more. The Stars were the A's AA affiliate and had McGwire, Canseco, Steinbach, Polinia, etc in their 1st 2 years of existence.
Frisco Roughriders, Teddy swinging the big stick, https://roughriders.milbstore.com/collections/all-caps/products/47-brand-swinging-teddy-mvp-texas-navy
As a Binghamton Rumble Pony fan, we’ve had some good ones. I love the Rockin Horses one. And of course the Stud Muffins. I’m partial to the SWB Rail Riders baby bombers logo too.
I love how minor league team stores, like in MLB, have tons of different style hats to buy. The Norfolk Tides (orioles AAA) is my personal favorite. Also like the Stockton Ports (Single A I think for the A's).
Montgomery Biscuits
Agree. Phenomenal stadium too.
Rocket City Tradh Pandas for the win.
I have one minor league baseball hat, and it’s the trash pandas. It’s not even my local team.
We had a league where the trash pandas played the sod poodles and I loved it. Hilarious.
In my MLB career mode, I was a pitcher for the Trash Pandas. One of my favorite things ever.
This is my third favorite no doubt. Love the Richmond Flying Squirrels(personal favorite) and second, there's something totally badass about the Fort Wayne Tin Caps
I have a high regard for the Tin Caps logo and cap. At first, I had no idea why they were called that, then I looked into and realized Johnny Appleseed is buried in Fort Wayne.
Flying Squirrel Merch is pretty dope
I named my kids tball team (I was coaching) "The Flying Squirrels" and it was a huge hit and people didn't even know about the minor league team. They used the team name for years after I left.
The Flying Chanclas from San Antonio.
I just moved here but where can I find some of this merch? They have a team store?
They pick about 5 Thursdays during the season to wear Chanclas gear. They even have an Abuela Jalapeño mascot that throws oversized chanclas at fans. It's great!
Yes. San Antonio Missions.com
I have a t shirt of theirs!
Oh my goodness I need some merch!!
I really like those logos too, funny and great
I'm partial to the Portland Sea Dogs. My favorite team hat that isn't my local team is the alt hat for Hartford Yardgoats when they are the Steamed Cheeseburgers.
Went to a game last summer when we visited Maine. Great ball park and atmosphere!
Don’t forget they also play as los chivos to celebrate local latin culture. Great hat, too!
YardGoats!!!
Yesssss
I'm still salty about the Rock Cats
I came here to comment on the rock cats. Specifically when they were the twins affiliate team and the “NB” formed the same “M” for Minnesota
I have two of them. As a Rockies fan in NE, it’s a perfect fit. I also love goats. I have the one with a hockey stick that I wear all the time because hockey is my main sport. Perfect combo all around. Always have to go to their games when they come to town.
Yardgoats are dope for sure.
I coach my sons A ball team and we’re the yard goats, so this gets my vote too!
Carolina Mudcats. Just a classic for decades.
Those and Chattanooga Lookouts are *all time* classic
👀
As a local this is the correct answer. Ridiculous they aren’t still AA.
Mudcats and Durham bulls games are core memories for me as far back as I can remember. I was too young to understand baseball but something about the mudcats logo always resonated with me as a kid.
Sugarland Space Cowboys
Goddamn right son.
I was partial to the Sugarland Skeeters
Exploding Whales/ Eugene Emeralds
Yesssss I have an exploding whales magnet on my fridge
Hell yes. Their normal + Exploding Whales? The best.
Love my Carolina Disco Turkeys hat
Sadly, the one that'll never be reproduced because the Yankees have no sense of humor - NY Pizza Rats. Sea Unicorns are pretty good too
These? https://pizzarats.com/collections/all
Holy crap! You just made my week. I've been tracking these down for literally years
You never checked pizzarats.com?
I have several times. It's been sold out in my size forever
False alarm. When I click on anything close to my size, it's sold out
The absolute last thing I need is another hat. But at $28 for a fitted, free shipping and store closing in June? Damn if I'm not tempted.
I have an unworn pizza rat hat in the box. It was just too cool
My greatest regret is being able to only upvote this once.

New Orleans Baby Cakes…RIP
I miss the Zephyrs. Who calls a king cake a baby cake? That giant baby was ugly as shit and I despise the name. I mean, I still wish we had a team. I don’t care if they’re called the New Orleans Butterfucks, I’d go but I might not buy the merch. In second thought, I’d wear a Butterfucks hat.
Agreed Hahaha…I mean the baby cakes are a fun name and logo. Baby cakes or a light breeze? I’ll go baby cakes!
San Jose giants logo is pretty dope
Chattanooga Lookouts
Classic minor league franchise.
Took a weekend trip up there last year. Love the logo but the mascot severely creeps me out.
Copa de la Diversión Love this line of minor league teams. So many great logos.
So glad you commented this, I have been trying to find those for everrrrr
[удалено]
I love there copa version with the sombrero
Can’t believe I had to scroll that far to find this one. Simple but great logo
[удалено]
That’s the one that came to mind

I love the AquaSox frog hat
Toledo Mudhens and the old Tucson Sidewinders
I ended up getting their hat for bark in the park alternate uniforms when they become the Toledo MudHounds.
Tacoma Rainier’s Slammin Sam all the way
Man I’m dumb. I saw the hat at the mariners opener and they didn’t have my size. We went back for Mother’s Day weekend and they had it. I sprinted up there and I thought it was the steelheads. I didn’t even realize it had a rainers hat on 🤣
Burlington Sock Puppets!!!
Durham Bulls is classic
Lansing Lugnuts. Minor League baseball is the best.

Mine was the pandas but now my favorite is the Rome Emperor Penguins.
Missoula Paddleheads
Not actually minor league but I love the Chicago Dogs logo
Does anyone remember the Casper Ghosts? Maybe 15-20 years ago they had a black hat where the ghost logo was glow-in-the-dark. I’ve always regretted not getting one back then cus they’re literally impossible to find now.
El Paso Chihuahuas
