MiLB teams unveiled their alternate identities and logos for the Copa de la Diversion and they're fabulous

By Eric Chesterton

The 2018 Minor League season will feature the inaugural Copa de la Diversion -- or Fun Cup -- a 160-game event series that will feature 33 teams across 19 states representing every level of Minor League Baseball from Class A Short Season to Triple-A. As part of the event, teams will adopt alternate identities and logos.
On Tuesday, MiLB unveiled those 33 identities along with their corresponding caps. Following in the footsteps of the Charlotte Caballeros, the Las Vegas Reyes de Plata and the Visalia Toros from 2017, these 33 hats are all beautiful. So, here they all are.

The Copa de la Diversion gets underway on April 8 in Round Rock, Texas. Watch it for the baseball, but, most of all, watch it for the fresh uniforms.
