Do you prefer Ash's original hat over these?

I found this concept art that I've never seen before. If it's what I've heard it to be, it's several proclaimed designs for Satoshi's hat.

Looking at them... Eh, I think I actually like Red's hat. He looks pretty cute with that on. Maybe the change was to individualize them more?

I never really liked Satoshi's hat in the original series, but the ones shown here aren't that better. The only one I DO like is the one with the lightning bolt.
 
To be honest, out of all of them I think the only one I like is Red's hat.

Also, for some reason looking at the art reminded me of the family portraits for Joy/Junsa/Don George. Imagine if Satoshi was part of an identical extended family...
 
I much prefer the Pokeball based designs he's had since - probably his AG hat best. Ash looks weird with the Red hat.
 
I'll admit, I loved Satoshi's AG and DP hats. The half-Poke Ball design looked really stylish.
 
I don't relly like any of those designs... except maybe the one that looks like Red's hat. Not sure if I like Ash's actual hat more, but I'm definitely used to seeing it. I never understood what that green symbol is though...

Also, I prefer his original series hat over any new hat that he has. First off, I don't know why they changed it... they made a plot point that the hat was very important to Ash. If he loves it so much and it isn't damaged or lost then why not continue to wear it? Unless he outgrew it or something
 
Does anyone else remember (or even better, have) that promo artwork released before DP started, where Ash had a hat featuring a pokeball symbol divided to look like an 'S'?

Can't say I remember, but it sounds like something made by Silph co. :p. Yeah the final design, the hat with the L made more sense being officially given by the league. It was always the best hat, because Ash liked it so much!
 
I prefer Ash's normal original series hat, to be honest. And out of all four official hats, I either prefer the DP one or the BW one.
 
The lighting bolt was cool and I like leaf thing but I like the first hat because it symbolized Ash's Loyalty to the Pokemon league but it would cool if they pokemon league actually used that logo.
 
I like the Red style hat, but no as much as the original. But my favorite hat is the AG hat.
 
Out of those I prefer the hat they ended up going with, due to being so used to seeing it.

Out of all his hats, AG is my favorite.

I never did either. I used to think the Pokémon League or the animators were going to draw a '2' and then quit halfway.

Hmm. Here's an idea, why not just take off the damn hat for an arc or two and then maybe we wouldn't want to see him in a hat anymore? No offense but whenever Ash has his hat off it make him look sexier than with the stupid thing on. He has a nice shonen look but the hat blocks it. I don't like it.
 
Ooh, I quite like the lightning bolt design. Makes me kinda wish they used it for a later hat.

'L' for 'League', maybe?
