Davy Andrews on the New Era caps

[Brock Beauchamp]

This is such a fantastic read! And ridiculous!

Probably not the focus of the OP, but the Brewers cap is pretty disappointing.

I don’t think I have ever said this before, but this feels like the product of a mind that hasn’t slept in two days in the best possible ways.

I loved it so much. Best website.

…these hats, they are real?

Those poems are AI generated, right?

No that’s Davy. He writes with us a lot, just not here very often.

We are at least a few years away from AI being able to produce this level of brilliance.

[Team Canada]

That was amazing.

I especially loved the Nats.

Uhhhh... they're all disappointing.

The cap designs look like they were produced by AI.

They are so bad they almost seem intentionally bad. Like this conversation seems plausible.

”How are we going to get attention for yet another line of hats?”

”Why don’t we make them so bad that someone will feel compelled to write 30 pieces of vaguely surreal poetry in tribute to their supreme awfulness? And if we can make some of them appear to spell dirty words to generate controversy, let’s do that, too.”

”Eureka, that’s just the thing to do it.”

[Samurai Bucky]

I failed to pick up on the meter of the poetry.  I didn't like poetry, really...

Perhaps a limerick?

New Era released a new hat.
They thought it would really be phat.
After trials and views,
As experts did muse,
The product was labeled as shat.

Colbert had a great roast of the new hats.  Starting at 2:45 of this clip:

Last I heard, Davy is still in the navy, and probably will be for life.
