Bumblebee Buccos

There was an interesting, exhaustive article on Uni Watch earlier this week about all the times the Pittsburgh Pirates have worn throwback uniforms from their "bumblebee" period (stovepipe hat, black and bright yellow colors, and occasionally, pinstripes) over the last few years. It's a great article, with tons of beautiful photography, and it got me all nostalgic for the stovepipe Pirates cap that I had when I was a kid, and led me to draw up some sketches of that oddball outfit in action.

I've been meaning for years to grab me a new 1970's Pirates hat to wear around and look ridiculous...but the nature of sports apparel being what it is, I can't find one in my size (probably a 7 1/2) anywhere online to save my life. Oh, I can buy this, or this, or even this...but the stovepipe? No dice. Might hafta draft one'a my yinzer pals for an assist on this one...
