Ugly hat or ugliest hats?

All MLB teams are wearing special St. Patrick's Day hats today. Unfortunately for whoever designed the Mets hats, they left the blue and orange brim for no apparent reason.

Check out Jerry Manuel sporting the cap...

And here is Robinson Cancel, who the AP cited as an infielder. Now that would be something...(Just checked B-R's site -- Cancel has played 23 games at first base in the minor leagues, 40 in the outfield, and eight at third base.)

Ugly.

And now, for reference, a much smarter design of the hat, sported by Jim Leyland...

Less ugly.

All green works a lot better than Mets blue on the brim.

Thankfully, it seems the Mets haven't put that awful hat up for sale. Not yet, at least.
