The Angels Need to Change Their Hats

I think it's time that the Anaheim Angels (I refuse to call them the L.A. Angels) change their boring cap insignia. Last year was the franchise's 50th anniversary and the team wore some great looking throwback jerseys and caps that look a whole lot better than their modern day set up. I suggest that the Angels make a permanent change and start to wear a hat that resembles this 80's era gem:

In my opinion, this is the best hat the team has worn in their 51 year history. They could update this style by perhaps keeping an all red hat, but put this lower case "a" on it in navy blue with a white outline. Even a more simple upper case "A" would be an improvement:

They could also make their hats more visually stimulating by wearing something like this on the road:

I know that they are no longer called the "California Angels" and this would prob never happen, but I just love this Cali state outline with halo. I also suggest that their logo on the chest of their jerseys needs updating.
