Each hat and clothing link serves as both a page from a clothing catalog and a page from a sports history book. For example, each subcategory of hats has its own "home page" that gives an introduction to the league and graphics of each hat. When you click on a team hat, you connect with the history and product information of each team. This is an example of a good hierarchy of links within a single site. A hierarchy offers proper balance to a site because it chunks the information into logical units by importance and relation to other subjects (Yale guide).
Each Blue Marlin page is less than two printed pages, making navigation quick and printing easy. This is beneficial because viewers may want to print out a particular clothing item or photograph, or even some information about their favorite vintage baseball team. All boxes of text are concise, clear and interesting -- all good qualities of style in any form of writing. Blue Marlin intends for the hats and clothing they manufacture to serve as conversation pieces as well; the information about each historical team is valuable to the sale of each product. For example, when a person wears Blue Marlin's Alcatraz Prisoners hat, it may be unfamiliar to others and they will inquire about the team, and eventually where the hat was purchased from. This is a great marketing strategy to inform the consumer about the sportswear they are purchasing and the team behind the name.
