Bo M vs Block M: which hat do you prefer/wear?

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

The Block M has always been my style, but I bought myself a Bo M hat at MDen and I really like it. Now I'm torn on which style I will wear for games.

I've always been curious to see where others stand on this.

I do notice that once the Bo M hat disappeared from the sidelines in 2004, we started going on a slide after that season.

The first couple of times I went to Ann Arbor as a kid in the early to mid-80's, I would go to Moe's to see that old polaroid of Rick Leach in the back. There were always pictures of Bo around wearing the skinny M hat, so that was my hat of choice, still to this day. I always remember them selling the hats as the "Fitted Bo". That is what I always have called them. I haven't seen it listed like that in a long time, but I always thought it had a nice ring to it. I think it should always go by that. I've had about four of them in my lifetime, with the last one being the New Era version, with the NE logo in matching navy blue thread on the side so you don't see it really. It's nice and clean and not mulled up with logos on it.

Always like to go back to old school designs. Pistons became relevant again in the early 2000's after they got rid of the awful teal jerseys of the Grant Hill era and went back to the red, blue and white of the Bad Boys.

I prefer the block M. I just see the skinny M and think it's too old school for me. I did try them both on at the M den and was disappointed in the style. The front is way to high I just couldn't buy either. Nike needs to modify this..it is not a good look. My buddy bought the skinny M Jumpman version and was upset at the same thing-front is too high...I need a solution as I always like a new hat for the season.

I finally got Bo Thin M Jumpman last weekend. I finally retired my Block M cap that I bought in 2004 with Rose on it will get Maize Block M sometime soon.

I've been a Block M wearer for as long as I can remember. I bought the new Jumpman flex fit (because HARBAUGH) and it's my new favorite hat.
I used to be a big 47 fitted fan but the Nike Flex Fits are my go to if I have a choice anymore.
