QuikQuote: For the July Fourth hat, a saluting Mickey stands in front of the American flag. Disney modeled another one after the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie, which arrives in theaters next Friday. A red scarf with a skull and crossbones wraps around the cap, and a gold ring pierces one mouse ear.
So far, the company has sold about 500,000 fashion and seasonal hats. And customers bought about 1 million golden mouse ears, which surpassed the black ears and became the No. 1 selling souvenir.

They're making such a big deal about it-- "Until late October 2005 when Disney launched its first fashion mouse ears, it barely touched the classic black design worn by children and adults for more than 50 years."

Barely touched? Back in the late 70's/ early 80's, you could get ears in flouresent colors, and I had a pair from the 25th anniversary that was black with silver ears.
