ASA has redesigned their web site and their logo.
http://www.softball.org/images/press...me_ASALogo.jpg The are also launching a TV show on Fox. Softball 360 Sounds like a renewed marketing effort. I hope it pays off in more teams, players, etc. |
The Softball 360 show sounds like it could be interesting. I just hope they get someone knowledgable for the <u>Hey Blue</u> segment and not someone like Timmy Mac or Joe.

Sounds like another artificial reason to force us to buy more unneeded uniforms and othermerchandise.

The move to the new logo may just be a political ploy to save ASA from an irreversable change to USA Softball. |
I apologize for any negativity as it appears I was wrong; but you know that unnecessary uniform/accessory replacement or redunancy is a pet peeve of mine. My concern was all those "ASA letters" we wear being replaced by a logo. Bad enough that I have to buy new caps for CP, just for the inappropriate flag requirement.

I've never had a problem with the hats (other than goofy sizes). You didn't need to buy a new hat as the flag were sold separately and easily applied.
Yes, I have a load of hats (wool), but I just throw them in the washer with the rest of my uniform. When done, take them out and block them. They last about two-three years of full wear. |
Since this thread has morphed into a laundry discussion...
OK, I admit, I don't "quite" get around to promptly laundering my hats right after I get home. I tend to collect 2 or 3 changes of uniforms before I launder them. So, my hats do start to gather faint stains after a year or 2 that never become TOO obvious, but I notice them, so I don't wear those hats anymore for tournament use. But, I haven't figured out a way to keep the blue from bleeding over onto the white letters. And that happens with the first wash. I've tried color-fast detergent, cold water, whatever - the letters always pick up a blue tint. Once the hat has been washed a few times, and blue dye is no longer further tinting the letters, I wash them in the dishwasher. The DW detergent seems to do a better job with stains, and the "no touch" washing seems to be easier on the hats. |
I have good luck using a cap washing frame (can get these at sporting good stores) and cold water with low to medium level water and a cup of detergent. Best thing is to wash the cap by itself. Cleans it right up.

Try washing them in a cap caddy in the dish washer
on the top shelve....Use warm water and light on the soap....works well... |
