Are the minor league ones Chinese or USA made?

Unfortunately Chinese.

Sigh.

Sadly as I have discovered more and more of the on fields for minor league teams are going that route.

Still a slick hat, I really like this year's Stars and Stripes design.

I was wondering this. I figured the Stars & Stripes would be, because the MLB ones were (made in China that is) but all/most of the On-Fields for MILB teams are Chinese?

If so,

It seems to be a mix.

At Fanfest there was a wall of almost all the minor league hats. I saw a few that I liked and ordered from the teams, so far the results have been mixed. Some have come and been USA made a couple either came Chinese or have 'Imported' listed as the country of origin on the website.

The Durham Bulls Team Shop said all their on fields are now Chinese, which was disappointing.

I would care less where the hat was made if I was getting the same hat with the same quality but that is just not the case with the Chinese hats.

I don't own any of the "Stars & Stripes" hats from 2008 on. Those hats are just horrible on the eyes. I feel this way because I'm a Yankee fan and wouldn't ever wear anything but Yankee on-fields. I could understand the 2009 red hats for fans of teams like the Phillies, Cardinals, Rangers, etc. Teams with red hats normally. The ones from 2010 and 2011 are just terrible for most teams.
