Cleanup Bats Logo Hat vs State Logo Hat: Which to Choose

Quick answer

Choose the Hickory Crawdads '47 Black Cleanup Bats Logo Adjustable Hat if you want a neutral, everyday cap with a detailed bats logo. Pick the Hickory Crawdads '47 Red Cleanup State Logo Adjustable Hat if you prefer a bold red look and want to save a few dollars.

Logo design and color: what each cap says

The main difference between these two '47 Cleanup hats is the embroidered logo and the base color. The Bats Logo version comes in black with a raised bats design, giving it a subtle, versatile look that pairs easily with most outfits. The State Logo version is red with a raised state outline logo, making it a louder, more team-forward choice.

Both hats feature the same unstructured relaxed fit, low crown, curved bill, and buckle closure, so the decision really comes down to which logo and color you prefer. If you want a cap that works with everything from jeans to gym shorts, the black Bats Logo is the safer pick. If you like your fan gear to stand out, the red State Logo delivers.

Price and value: what you get for the difference

At the catalog price, the Bats Logo hat is $23.10 (compared to a $35.00 list price), while the State Logo hat is $20.40 (compared to $30.00). Both are officially licensed '47 Brand products made from garment-washed cotton twill, so the construction quality is the same. The Bats Logo costs a little more, but it also has a higher comparison price, which may reflect its more detailed embroidery.

If budget is your top priority, the State Logo saves you $2.70. But if you plan to wear the hat often, the small price gap is unlikely to matter as much as getting the color and logo you actually want to wear.

Fit and care: identical platforms, different looks

Because both hats share the same '47 Cleanup silhouette—unstructured relaxed fit, low crown, six solid panels with eyelets, and an adjustable buckle closure—they will feel the same on your head. Neither has a structured front, so they mold to your head over time. Both are garment-washed cotton twill and should be wiped clean with a damp cloth; do not machine wash them.

Since the fit is the same, you can base your decision entirely on style and price. If you already own a '47 Cleanup hat and like how it fits, either of these will feel familiar.

Key trade-offs

• Color versatility vs. team spirit: The black Bats Logo hat is easier to match with everyday clothes, while the red State Logo hat is more eye-catching and clearly shows your Crawdads fandom. Think about your wardrobe: mostly neutrals? Go black. Lots of red or team colors? Go red.
• Price vs. logo detail: The State Logo hat costs $20.40, while the Bats Logo hat is $23.10. The Bats Logo has a more intricate raised embroidery, which may justify the small premium for some fans. If you want the lowest price, pick the State Logo; if you want the more detailed logo, the Bats Logo is worth the extra $2.70.
• Same fit, different look: Both hats share the same unstructured relaxed fit, low crown, and adjustable buckle, so you don't need to worry about sizing differences. The only real difference is the logo and color. Choose based on which logo you prefer, not on fit.
