Goofy home run celebrations involving props have become as much a part of baseball as peanuts and Cracker Jack, but the Atlanta Braves will have to go back to the drawing board.According to a report by WSB-TV in Atlanta, the Braves were recently warned off by the New Era Cap Company regarding players continuing to use the "Big Hat" as part of their dugout festivities.New Era is the official "On-Field Cap Partner of MLB" and the company reportedly spoke with the league about Atlanta players using a non-New Era cap as part of their home run ceremony.WSB-TV@wsbtvHere's why you haven't seen the Big Hat celebration over the past few games. wsbtv.com/news/local/atl…4016Here's why you haven't seen the Big Hat celebration over the past few games. wsbtv.com/news/local/atl…The hat was given to the team by an Atlanta Braves fan on Opening Day. Atlanta won the game, and the gigantic ballcap became a good-luck charm. It was prominently displayed as the Braves hit five homers in an April 14 win against the Kansas City Royals.However, it was noticeably absent from the dugout when Atlanta matched that feat in a win over the Miami Marlins 10 days later.News of the "Big Hat" dismissal infuriated many Braves supporters.𝕰𝖑𝖎𝖟𝖆𝖇𝖊𝖙𝖍🦦@HappyOtters@wsbtv Some people are just fun sponges7@wsbtv Some people are just fun spongesSarah M Sekáč@HarasCakes@wsbtv @gifs_baseball New Era: 🥳21@wsbtv @gifs_baseball New Era: 🥳💩 https://t.co/cwR82a6ZGvJules Forde@JulesForde@wsbtv @NewEraCap came here to do two things: sell overpriced hats and threaten to litigate fun.

How's that?sorry. can't. baseball. bye. 👋@carolinacouture@wsbtv Bet you're a blast at parties, @NewEraCap1@wsbtv Bet you're a blast at parties, @NewEraCapSeveral immediately began looking for a loophole in the "Big Hat" embargo. While New Era is the league's on-field cap partner, the dugout is not technically on the field.And what about all the other teams that use some form of headwear as a prop to celebrate home runs? The Marlins use a large straw hat, the Los Angeles Angels use a samurai-inspired ceremonial headpiece. What is New Era's prejudice against the "Big Hat" when these other teams are free to adorn their homer-hitting heads however they see fit?Stephen Trachian@strachian@wsbtv Weak! "On-field cap partner" Is the dugout considered "on field"?@wsbtv Weak!

So, at least the loss of the "Big Hat" hasn't meant losing many more contests.
