As of Opening Day 2010 they are selling the 1969 hats in the right color again. The one pictured in this thread is actually not 100% correct either. The “S” on the 1969 hat should not have that little jot on the top end of it and the spacing of the letters isn’t quite right. I used to have one just like it and loved it none the less. Here’s a photo of a 1969 hat: http://www.thatsmyboy03.com/images/sdpdavis.jpg

Hey Mike what I did was save my search on ebay that way anytime a new hat was posted I would get notified via e-mail. It was a tough find that’s for sure. Good luck!

If anyone knows where to purchase a hat like the one pictured, please post. As mentioned, the only ones that are being sold right now are the brown/orange hats. I would like to get a brown/yellow. Thanks

HAHA I thought the same thing….”perhaps they meant PCL Padres??” But now that it’s been on sale as the 1969 hat for a few years now that idea went out the window. I guess MLB just doesn’t really pay attention to detail when it comes to the Padres.

I own that orange and brown hat. Yeah, don’t laugh. I remember looking around for old retro hats and seeing that and thinking “they didn’t have orange back then” but I just assumed that maybe they got the years wrong and the had that hat in the PCL or something. I just liked the orange. When I went to the 1969 retro game I felt stupid wearing it around when it was so clearly wrong. I still like it though and will continue to wear it until I decide not to.
