Are These the 2015 MLB All-Star Game Official Hats?

A potential advertisement for the official hats of the 2015 MLB All-Star Game surfaced on the Internet Thursday night.

Update from Friday, May 15

These pillbox hats will not be worn during the 2015 MLB All-Star Game, according to ESPN's Darren Rovell and Uni Watch's Paul Lukas:

These hats were not created by Major League Baseball or New Era. Rather, designer Jesse Alkire (who has previously created NFL jersey mockups) came up with the concept.

Phil Hecken of Uni Watch (h/t @WallendaNik) passed along the image, which features double-striped, white-based caps that felt super old school.

Cork Gaines of Business Insider believes the design is meant to resemble "Mr. Redlegs," one of the Cincinnati Reds' mascots:

Nothing wrong with a little retro flavor.

We should know whether or not these are legitimate soon enough, since the All-Star Game is set for July 14.

But in the meantime, what do you think of these?
