baseball hats

why do people not playing baseball or not trying to keep the sun out of their eyes wear them? and when it's on backwards?

i think it is one of the most retarded things i commonly see.

what is the purpose, really? why not wear these instead. <img src="http://www.wgrd.com/photoalbums/davidfox/images/2004/101clubtv7.jpg" alt=" - " />

It's a hat dude- a fashion accessory. People have been wearing them forerver….fedoras, newsboy hats, cowboy hats, porkpie hats, tophats, jimmy hats.

I'm nut much of a fan of the whole sideways thing….but I've got a Black Flag hat I'm quite fond of.

yeah, hats are hats. don't let them ruin your day, bro.

Ok bro. Word!

not that it matters but i dont like wearing hats actually only for a purpose, like when im skiing, or my ears will fall off like potato chips from the cold. or a visor for thye sun, baseball cap only to keep my scalp from getting suburned was in sun at beach alot this summer out in the waves, woooee gnarly!!

Ball caps are favored by proles. Prole caps:

"Proles take to visor caps instintively, which accounts for the vast popularity among them of what we must call simply the prole cap. This is the "baseball" cap made largely of plastic meshwork in primary colors (red, blue, yellow) with, in the rear, an open space crossed by a strap for self-adjustment: "One Size Fits All [Proles]." … The little strap at the rear is the significant prole feature in that it demeans the buyer and user, making him do the work formerly thought the obligation of the seller, who used to have to stock numerous sizes… To achieve even greater ugliness, the prole will sometimes wear his cap back to front. This places the strap in full view transecting the wearer's forehead, as if pride in the one-size-fits-all gadget were motivating him to display the cap's "technology" and his own command of it."

wow i read that book long ago. [social] "Class" by Paul-what's his face. interesting book. a subject rarely talked about but so pervasive.

CLASS kicks ass!

yeah id venture to say that the racism in this country is not about race but class.

if im in a qeustionable neighborhood or vulnerable location and u look like u would be more inclined to be a threat of any color im going to keep an eye out. if u dont i wont, regardless of color.

That's what Peter Falk said.

well baseball hats differ from most other hats. they dont look stylish[wrong word but cant think of better one, appealing ot the eye?]. they are merely functional. and these ppl who wear them that i am referring to dont wear them for functionality. i suspect they wear it like most other things they do to go with whatever the crowd is doing, the crowd who all wear those barf-looking-pattern untucked dress shirts in bars and clubs or whatever barf the mens magazines r pushing. striped with muted colors. they also like top 40. "its got a good beat and i can dance to it"

ok, fine i will comment on the matter.

I have a baseball cap. In fact, I have 3, 2 that i ever wear though. One is my Boston Red Sox hat, which i wear 90% of the time i wear a hat. Much of the time it is functional, keeping the sun from my eyes, since i am not really a sunglasses guy. i wear it sorta low, so at times I do not need sun shielding, but dont have a place to stash it, I may twist it around backwards. The other hat is a plain black hat that i also like if i am going to be outside but perhaps the Red Sox are sucking really bad.

so in that aspect, I wear the hat to show my support for the Red Sox. (though i never wear it in conjunction with a Red Sox shirt…unless i am AT the Red Sox game.)

Although wearing a hat becomes quite a habit, and something to hide your slightly ungroomed hair…I rarely wear one if going to a concert or bar or somewhere else at night.

Part of the reason for this is because i was taught to take your hat off while indoors.

I will however, wear my Red Sox hat in a bar IF and only if, i am watching the game on the TV there, as i will be this afternoon!

i cant believe i just wrote that much about hats…

i knew i could incite the great sonic to do so

;) every topics needs a canadians point of view.

by the way, baseball caps are not as popular in Canada. they really mess up your mullet!

There's a guy who works in the Food Food window at 9:30 who always wears a baseball cap. Now, when working with food, I can see the benefit. What I can't see is why he just always wear the visor to the side, like the dude in the first picture in this thread. It's always that way, which draws attention to how specific he's being with this fashion choice…

i suppose the world would be better off if everyone just dressed the same and didnt do anything "too crazy!"

nice and cozy like

that said, the sideways hat does nothing for me

they do dress the same. in baseball hats! thats my point sonar.

"word to ya muvva." yo.

And wears crew neck t-shirts under his polos.
