Other fans weighed in on an online forum on MLB.com, baseball's official website.

"How can you not love this?" wrote one commenter, with the moniker NELSKOF.

But one person, writing with the name Shag23, questioned whether the change was worth it.

"This new hat will draw a lot of attention, just maybe the wrong type," the commenter wrote.

"It's nice that they named a team after us but we don't behave like that," he said. "It's hard to see what honor there is in using that imagery."
