Anyone who followed Troy Brouwer during his time with the Capitals knows he’s what you might call a hoarder of headwear. The man has a comprehensive collection of caps. He’s the Imelda Marcos of hats.
For some St. Louis fans, learning that their new forward is a bucket buff came as a shock. On Tuesday Brouwer shared a photo of him and his daughter Kylie doing some last-minute sightseeing before they move to St. Louis. Brouwer was wearing the hat of the Washington Nationals, who are definitely not located in St Louis.

Brouwer was sporting one of his Washington Nationals hats (he has at least two different versions of the lid) while touring the nation’s capital. That fact didn’t escape eagle-eyed St. Louis fans.
@tbrouwer20 Gonna have to upgrade that hat when you get to STL — TUCK! (@TUCKsez) August 5, 2015

@tbrouwer20 WRONG HAT. don’t worry, we’ll get you a winning teams hat soon enough — matt whelan (@mattsquadcar) August 4, 2015
@tbrouwer20 got a fireplace? Throw that hat in there man. — Devin Dietrich (@devin_dietrich) August 4, 2015
@tbrouwer20 ill give you a @Cardinals hat if you ditch the Walgreens hat.

Given his track record, it’s likely Brouwer already owns at least one Cardinals hat. After all, he’s been photographed repping the Nats, the Expos, the Blue Jays, the Cubs, the White Sox and even the Diamondbacks (?!).
Also, this guy seems confused:
