MLU's HAT OF THE WEEK: Houston Astros

In a world where orange hats are really hit or miss, this classic Astros lid would qualify as a hit. It's loud color is offset by the simplicity of the logo, and even though I don't own one article of orange clothing, I can't help but think I would look pretty sharp sporting this timeless cap- who wouldn't?

I gotta give it to the Astros- in the 9 week history of MLU's Hat of the Week, they've been associated with one-third of the lids featured. They've got some style down there in Houston- although, don't look for their current Big League hat to be our Sunday feature anytime soon.

Why do so many teams ditch such classic looks?

MLU's HAT OF THE WEEK: Lancaster Jethawks

This is a sharp lid. I'm a huge red hat guy, and the Lancaster Jethawks have a winner with this one. I love the shield-like emblem and they've got a great color scheme going on- the subtle light blue trimmings work great with the dark red.

The hawk looks stoic in his pose, and the red and blue splattered logo reminds me of those HOPE Obama posters, which I always thought were pretty sharp looking- yet somewhat misleading.

*The Lancaster Jethawks are a Single-A affiliate of the Houston Astros.

MLU's HAT OF THE WEEK: Corpus Christi Hooks

I've always been a sucker for the navy and light blue combo. The Corpus Christi Hooks have a winner with this home cap- great colors complemented by a fun logo: the staples of a good Minor League hat. 

Is it me or does that little guy look more cute than intimidating? Kind of a little brother 'trying to prove himself' type of look he's got goin' on- maybe it's just the way he's wearing his little red hat. Either way, this Hooks lid is one of my favorites.

*The Corpus Christi Hooks are a Double-A affiliate of the Houston Astros.
