I'm streaming the radio broadcast at work and Ford was talking about how Treinen lives in Walla Walla, WA.

Sparks: Why is it called Walla Walla?  Why repeat the name?

Ford: Maybe it's the like the old saying that it's so nice they named it twice.

Sparks: They don't call it Baytown Baytown.

They are so so good together. I don’t think people appreciate how good.

After moving from Polacios bay to Washington during the depression my old man graduated from Walla Walla High in '48.

all right surly stros thread peoples, i am gonna switch gears for a minute to talk about a subject near and dear to your hearts - trucker hats.

about 10 years ago, i bought an astros trucker hat off some shitty bootleg site for about $4 and it was awesome (trucker hats fit my head better than most other hats).  anyway, it was a good soldier, but eventually got disgusting, so i reordered the same hat.  over the past year or so, it has also gotten disgusting and misshapen/deformed, but here's the problem - whatever shithouse site i bought them on no longer exists. 

in fact, i have not been able to find any suitable astros trucker hat to replace it.  and as someone who works from home, i really need a good hat sometimes just to leave the house.

so i've been putting this project off, but over the next week, i will be moving forward on it - and i started today.  i called some local and non-local custom t-shirt/trucker hat companies, and it seems so far, like there's no way to order just one custom trucker hat for less than $50.  the cheapest i've found has been for a dozen for about $10 a hat, or two dozen for about $7 a hat.

which means i need some of you clowns to take on some of my inventory.  and it's not a financial thing.  i'm happy to make the investment, but i don't want 11-23 identical hats chilling at my house.  if you wanna throw me a few bucks for shipping, then sure, but it's not a big deal.  i'm gonna get on tapa to post a pic of what the old hat looked like, and i want to start discussing what the new hat should look like. 

i like the navy/white scheme, but i also found orange/white that i'm digging.  and as much as i like the old school circle logo, there's a lot out there that i also like.  we have an off day tomorrow, so i welcome all ideas, logos, colors, whatever.  there are no wrong answers, we're brainstorming here.  and obviously, if you want in, you can say so, or pm me.

and please spare me the trucker hat insults - i've heard them all.  if a normal fitted or snapback baseball cap fit my head better, i would wear that, but this is where we are, and i'm not changing.

Can we get our screen names sewn on them???? (Kidding)

 

 

Im in

 

Hell i would probably take 3 of them

it's probably not that much of a long shot.

from the person i spoke to today, the minimums come in from the screen process.  some small side stitch or patch is likely easier and way cheaper.

although not sure that material can even handle it.

now i'm thinking of recreating my old hat (on navy) x12 and then that other dome logo on the orange hat x12.

we're gonna need a bigger boat.

hoping to have renderings by the weekend.  my only concern is the oranges not quite matching.

Since we are on a astros gear hunt, id like to get a pinstripe era astros jersey. Missing that year and colt 45s Jersey for a complete set

Size/player matter?

I'm totally in.

 

It would be cool to have a tip of the cap (har har) to one of the most iconic sports uniforms ever:

 

 

A Houston Strong patch or lettering could be cool on the side/back but I don't know if that's possible with trucker hats...
