As They Should, Cardinals Will Return to Wearing Navy Blue Caps on Road
In a lost season for their team, St. Louis Cardinals fans finally got some welcome news, even if it's only a small victory.
The St. Louis Cardinals announced on Tuesday that they will resume wearing navy blue caps on the road, a decision long overdue and one that should have been made a long time ago. This simple change in uniform should be straightforward for the team, with red caps donned at home and navy caps when playing away games. The Cardinals have worn navy caps for the vast majority of their history, from 1957 to 2012, according to SportsLogos.net.
Interestingly, the franchise's switch to red caps as their primary road uniform in 2013 coincided with their World Series loss, leading many to question the wisdom of this change. Fan reaction to the recent announcement has been largely positive, with one X user expressing that this is the best thing the franchise has done in years.
The team, currently at risk of a second consecutive losing season and facing their fourth straight year without a playoff berth, will take whatever wins they can muster. For now, Cardinals fans will embrace whatever victories come their way, hopeful for brighter days ahead.
