I see Tigers hats all the time and have for years. Something about the D brand has an appeal. When people hear I'm from Detroit they often say that they would like to go there and see the place. I suggest that they find a guide, it's pretty dreary if you don't have someone to show you the what's and where of the the city.

Detroit has cultivated a brand of being "tough" and "uncompromising". A blue collar, everyman sort of town. This "brand" does well when marketing cars but isn't as appealing when associated with food.
