Halos Hats
Well my current Halo hat is about to be demoted to work-out hat as it has become extremely worn and faded. It was the basic fitted red design with Angel logo. Anyways, I am looking into ordering a new one and was wondering if anyone across Halos Heaven had an opinion as I have narrowed it down to 3 models.
1. A new take on the classic 70s logo.
2. Navy and worn down, but I kinda like the rips.
3. A finally the BP hat. The blue and red look is a cool throwback look.
Any suggestions?

I own thie first and third ones.
i like the look and fit of the first one better than the third. The BP hat gets all puffy on the sides after you've worn it a couple times because of the elastic.
Don't buy the middle one. Pre-worn and frayed hats are for Red Sox bandwagoners who want to make it seem like they've been a fan for more than four years.
I'd go with the white and red.

Go with the DP
I think the first one is too cheezy. nike trying to be hip hop or something.
i agree with angels4adam the second one will make you look like a cubs or red sux fan who is trying too hard. or maybe kinda like andy bernard, a 30 something who still shops at abercrombie.
the BP hat is just cool, makes you look legit

I hate to say it...
but they're all lame. Sorry. I only aim to help. Nothing is classier than a New Era fitted. There are all kinds of styles to choose from if you want something different, and the newer on-field models are really comfortable. I myself am biased, as I have a bit of a sickness when it comes to Angel hats, or New Era hats in general. Example:

This is in addition to non-Angel hats, and the pile of "work out" hats (as you brilliantly put it) which includes my prized '02 Home Red that I wore to game 7 of the World Series, complete with beer stains. I break that one out when we badly need a rally. But anyway, bottom line: New Era fitted. I will get off my soap-box now.

Where did you get
the black hat with red A on the front right ot the picture? I didn't see any at the team store the other night.

If you mean...
The one in the VERY front right, it's actually dark blue. The only black ones are the second from the left in the second row, and the second from the right in the same row has a black front w/red back. The one you are talking about I believe I got at Chick's Sporting Goods in Covina.

5950 is the only option
stick with the classics

I know that the 5950 is a classic and I have one
but it sit on display on my shelf. I can't wear them. They sit too high on my head and have never quite felt right. That is what leads me to the red and white one. A Cubs fan (of the frat boy variety) pointed me towards the 2nd one, which I can officially say has been eliminated.

If you insist...
then I say go with the third. I prefer hats that just have the logo as is, whatever the color scheme. I don't like noisy hats with emblems and logos in strange places.

Or i could just replace it with a current red one
that'd be the simple thing.

I have the BP hat
...and while I like the design and old school appeal, the flex fit hats don't fit quite like a true fitted hat. Also -- the BP hat, at least on me, feels like I can't pull it down far enough and falls off easily when running, etc. Could be my 7 3/8 melon combined with a healthy - and growing - white boy 'fro.

Since you seem to be into the low profile hats...
Distant Replays has some pretty sweet throwback options in that style:

That halo on the throw backs are awesome,
I really like that first one. I think that is from '61 or '62 right? Pretty sweet. I make sure to head to the Distant Replays site.

Actually from 1958
"LA", This the old Pacific Coast League hat. After we came to Anaheim, it was switched to the "CA" on opening day at the big A if i remember right.

They had it in 61-65, as well
When the Halos played in Chavez Ravine.

Meh
I liked the #2 better than the other two, but I have to say the official red-on-red 5950 is the way to go.
Witty .sig goes here.

I got a lot of hats
but they are all quite old and skanky. I gave some to missus Halofan to eBay as collectibles and she threw them out in disgust.

Go for option 3
I get what people are saying about number 2 and the Sox thing, but it still looks quite good. Number 1 is nasty.

From a girl's perspective ...
Out of the ones you've narrowed it down to, my pick is the third one.
But I also own/wear/and love the BP hat, so I may be a little biased.
I do like the Distant Replays hats though, too, the first one pictured is kickin'.

Be bold. Go with a pink Angels sunvisor.
Funny story - I was shopping for a new Angels hat at Chick's last weekend and this kid and his mom were looking at Angels hats too. Every time the kid picked one out he said to his mom, "How about this one?" Everytime he asked, the mom said, "Oh that's ugly. Why do they all have those dumb-looking halos?" This went on for about 10 minutes, the mom shooting the kid down every time. Eventually the poor kid gives up and says, "I'll just get a Padres hat."
I swear I wanted to yell at that bitch so bad. What an idiot. Someday she'll be sitting by herself in a nursing home wondering why her son never visits her.

Not yet...I was trying to NOT inform everyone...
so I could get all the good stuff for myself.
I was going to post about my purchases, not about the sale itself. Now, you've foiled my plan!!!!

Go with the New Era BP
I do like the Nike hat with the '79 throwback logo on it. This black version looks ten times better. I would stay true to the fitted and go New Era. Here are some of the New Era Angels hats I have collected over the years. Personally the white LA Cooperstown is my new favorite. You can't beat the craftsmanship.
