How to make money off baseball fans, part 126: Take a popular style of sunglasses and add a baseball team's colors. We're not sure if professional baseball players actually wear these Oakley MLB Flak Jacket sunglasses, but the shades will definitely appeal to fans. Each pair uses a specific team's colors ("Red Sox Red" shown here), with a faint team logo laser etched onto the bottom corner of the lens. The sunglasses filter out 100% of all UV rays and come with 2 nose pads for a customized fit. Teams include the Angels, Cubs, Diamondbacks, Dodgers, Mariners, Mets, Padres, Phillies, Red Sox, Tigers, and Yankees. See all Oakley sunglasses.

In honor of the Flying Tigers, a group of volunteer WWII pilots, Oakley created these limited-edition Flying Tigers sunglasses, whose artwork is based on the original Tigers' fuselage designs. The shades have Plutonite lenses that filter out 100% of all UV rays, a 3-point fit for comfort, and impact-resistant frames. And they come in a special collector's box. Although the Oakley site is sold out of them, other online stores still have a few in stock. More Oakley sunglasses.

Cole Haan sunglasses are like Cole Haan shoes, belts, and bags: Understated, high quality, timeless, and expensive but worth it.

According to Wikipedia, Don Ed Hardy "was the first Western tattoo artist to incorporate Japanese tattoo aesthetics and techniques into his work." He's now incorporating it into every single aspect of your wardrobe, thanks to a collaboration with Christian Audigier from Von Dutch. Although we're a little old to get (more) tattoos, we do like Ed Hardy's designs, particularly on these sunglasses. Instead of big letters or logos, the temples have fun tattoo imagery - some even use Swarovski crystals. See all Ed Hardy apparel.

In Thailand, people wear yellow to show their support for their king. In our corner of the world, yellow often symbolizes support for the Lance Armstrong Foundation, which helps cancer survivors. Oakley has just released these special edition Livestrong sunglasses, the Radar (top) and the Flak Jacket. Both styles have interchangeable, polarized lenses that reduce glare, balance bright sunlight, maximize peripheral vision, and resist moisture, oil, and dust. $20 from each sale goes to the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

New from Oakley: Nanowire rimless sunglasses, featuring titanium alloy frames that weigh next to nothing and adapt to fit your face. Available in 3 different styles and several colors, the unisex polarized sunglasses feature Oakley's high-definition optics, anti-reflective and water-repellent coatings, and plutonite lenses that filter out all UV rays. They can also take prescription lenses. They're not cheap, but if you order from Zappos, you get free shipping both ways - but you probably won't want to return them. See all Oakley sunglasses.

Why replace your sunglasses when you can simply replace the lenses? Save money with Smith's Interlock sunglasses, which let you change the lenses by simply twisting the temple arms. Twist one way, and the lens pops out. Put in a different lens (for a different sport or a different look), twist the temple arm back, and it snaps into place. Available in several colors, with 14 different replacement lens tints and a lifetime warranty. More Smith sunglasses.

Like many 1980s fashions, Ray-Ban Wayfarers are trendy again, according to In Style magazine, which shows Mischa Barton, Scarlett Johansson, and Kirsten Dunst all wearing the classic shades. This is one '80s revival we can happily live with (unlike leggings or bubble skirts), because almost anyone looks good in them, and they're more low-key than some big-rhinestone-logos-all-over-the-temples designers we won't mention here.

As seen on Angelina Jolie and Gwen Stefani: These oversize Whitney sunglasses by Tom Ford (of Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent fame). Made in Italy, the curved plastic frames have a cross-over bridge, gradient lenses, and a cutaway design so that they're open near the temples. They offer 100% UVA/UVB protection and come in several colors, from a pale I'm-looking-at-you champagne to a darker partied-too-hard-at-the-office-holiday-party brown. More Tom Ford sunglasses.

Turn heads this spring with trendy sunglasses with the designer's name emblazoned on the temple.
