Day 90: Buffalo Bisons Home (????-????)
For the few Bisons hats I’ve done, you may be noticing a theme. That theme is that I have absolutely no idea what years they wore what hats. For Major League teams, if I don’t know it off the top of my head I have plenty of places on the Internet where I can look it up. For minor league teams, however, there doesn’t seem to be that kind of resource. So it’s all hit and miss.
I do know the Bisons wore this hat at home when I moved back from Cleveland to Buffalo, so that would have been around 1999 or 2000. I am pretty sure they wore it for a couple of years after that, before the switch to black. I really think this is my all time favorite Bisons hat. I always loved this green color, because it was unique. Not too many baseball teams use green as a primary color. Also I liked the slanting B logo, before the swooshing baseball was added for later incarnations of this hat. The minor league baseball logo is on the back.
I guess I didn’t ever find a lot of opportunity to wear a Bisons hat, but I really wanted this hat because it was from Buffalo, and because I liked the green. And on the plus side, it has always looked pretty good on me, I think.
