We know some Dodger front-office types suck up to Pete Carroll but shouldn't USC get a cut from the sale of these hats at Dodger Stadium?

Look back at my comments, I broke the story on these hats that debuted at the Coliseum exhibition game vs. the Red Sox.
They look even tighter live.

I think its retarded. I'm sure it looks cool but it's retarded. You just don't alter your team logo/color to appeal to certain fans. It's just like the US changing the American flag color to red white and green to appeal to mexicans or changing the stars to maple leafs to appeal to canadians.
Anyone know where I can find one? I've been looking all over.

I agree that they shouldn't be changing the Dodger colors to attract purchases from the USC fanbase. That's a stupid decision.
You're wrong in comparing it to changing the American Flag colors though.
Changing the colors of a local sports team logo and changing the colors of a flag that represent an entire nation aren't even in the same ballpark.

If anyone has been to a Dodger game in the last 10 years they would know that Dodger hats come in about every color combination except black and orange.
Having an LA cap made in Cardinal and Gold was a "hat tip" to two successful franchises: the Dodgers and USC Football. Plus it was timed to be released during the LAD-Bosox game at the Coliseum.

Just tell us there's not a powder blue version.
