I have looked for the past year for TPX before finally just getting a new proline. If you find one I would love to know ........
Crazy, when you say you were looking for a TPX hat but bought Pro-Line, are you saying you were looking for the older Pro-Line hats from '06-'07 seasons?
TPX hats and Pro-Line hats are the same thing (Crazy, you may know this but some on here may not and the info may help). Prior to last season Pro-Line was putting TPX on the back of A&M's cap b/c the team used Louisville Slugger as a supplier of certain equipment (TPX is part of Louisville Slugger's product line including bats, gloves, mitts, catcher masks and pads, batting helmets). Pro-Line gives their teams the option to put suppliers like Easton, TPX, etc. on the back of the hats they supply if a team desires it or has a contract with the supplier to do so. We switched last season to Easton, so Pro-Line no longer put TPX on the hats. Instead of having Easton put on our hats someone on the team who is in charge of this stuff decided to put the T-Star on the hat. Obviously they put the Adidas logo on them too since they also supply the team. Those Pro-Line hats with the Adidas logos were never supposed to be sold to the public, but some were accidentally supplied to Barcelonas Sporting goods. Those sold out pretty fast so they got more without the Adidas on them....
You probably will not be able to find a Pro-Line with TPX on it as they are no longer being made.I would check EBAY or something like that. The A&M Athletics site has an auction which may offer some old TPX hats they may have not used yet. That site has been selling a lot of equipment so there is a chance. It would be another place to look. As to whether the team uses Pro-Line this coming season, it is up to the team. Bigfoot who's wife works for the MSC if I am not mistaken has stated that the new hat will be an Adidas produced one. Beveled T and all. Personally the bevel doesn't bother me, but neither does the non-bevel.....
If I ever see any on Ebay or on the A&M Athletics auction site, i will post.
