Ok, serious question here, should Cy (my avatar) change his hat? (and yes, it is an Adam Hat!!)

This would be a great contest (winner gets a pin or shirt?). Everyone submit a photoshopped Cy image. Then we have a vote for a winner.

I can go with that. They can be submitted in this thread. Two entries per member limit. (no edits ). Whomever gets theirs picked will get a t shirt (in stock) and a pin.....As for when it ends, no idea . I guess when one is picked or not.... I reserve the right to pick a winner and do the giveaway but use the image any length of time or not at all. Good luck to everyone (or anyone) who submits something. Let's keep the same main image at minimum.......good luck.

I vote the Christmas hat. It just matches well with his uniform and background color.

The pinwheel hat is a close second.

I'd definitely go with the Carmen Miranda hat.

I believe, at his advanced age, Cy may need some way to distract hitters away from his 'gottabe-hittable-by-now' pitches.

We have a winner but Cy might change styles more frequently to keep things fresh . He likes to be fashionable. I wish the avatar space supported .gif but it won't.
