It could be worse

While you continue to ponder your fate as a Bay Area sports fan, just remember that it could be worse. You could, for instance, be a Washington Nationals fan like the guys behind this musical nursery rhyme. We’re not professional songwriters, but we’re guessing M.M.I. chose “hats” as the identifying characteristic of the Nats for this ditty because it rhymes a little better than “wretched defense,” “shoddy bullpen,” or “dwindling attendance.” One of the better lines comes at you fast: “Y’all impostors, crab, shrimp, and lobsters.” Is that a veiled dig at the Bay Area? Eastsiiiiide, bitch! Probably not.

Anyway, all of this was just an excuse to post these videos of tricked out A’s and Giants fitteds. Some of these would make great Mother’s Day gifts. We the A’s and the Giants, you can, uh, tell by the hats!


This one’s called the “Barry Zito Contract.”


From the YouTube comment brigade: “Ur gonna get jacked if you walk down the street wearing that!” Is that good or bad?


Yes, please. I’m sold on this one even without the music.


Any chance the A’s could adopt the argyle look for BP?

And one more hat-related item: Have you seen the Jacksonville Jaguars’ new color-changing helmets? CRAZY. The always entertaining Paul Lukas of Uni Watch grades the Jags’ makeover a D-plus and the 49ers’ new-old uniforms a B-plus in his latest column for ESPN.
