Landfill-Ready MLB Merch of the Week


In honor of our nation's 233rd birthday as well as America's throwaway culture, the commanders-in-chief at MLB ordered a league-wide deployment of "Star-Spangled" garb over the long holiday weekend. Besides astonishing Cubs fanatics and Dodger die-hards by outfitting their teams in red hats, the league's bold marketing approach has solidified MLB's street cred with the increasingly lucrative norteno and mara salvatrucha market segments.

Predictably, there's a merchandising tie-in, with MLB generously donating a portion of the profits to veterans. Tubesox Nation especially recommends this scarlet Giants lid. Priced at only $36.99, it's just as sure to turns heads at the corner of 2Oth and Mission as at 24 Willie Mays Plaza.

    hmm, so it's dangerous to wear Red in the Mission? good to know since I'm moving closer. Is blue ok? how about green?

  2. blue is bad and same with red . . depends on the corner, vato, but don't ask me about the particulars

    a guy of your stature and pigmentation should be okey-dokey, but the "every day is St. Patrick's Day" approach never hurts
