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?
<img src="http://www.dieselsweeties.com/shirts/blinghat.jpg" alt=" - " />
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.

Ball caps are favored by proles. Prole caps: (http://janusmuseum.org/panabasis/sept05.htm#21sept)
<img src="http://janusmuseum.org/panabasis/prolecap.jpg" alt=" - " />
"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

i've heard this is a good book, about how kennedy killed the custom of every business man wearing a hat

isnt it like us irish, such style.

I wear baseball caps every day because they cover my hair, which is messy most of the time. I also wear them when I go running. Practical reasons. That pretty much covers it.
And jesus-rollerskating-christ, enough with the pictures. Why do some people have to visualize and portray the hat-wearing population of the world as yo-boy retards?

i especially like the fad of the hat thats too big for your head. "yo fitty. word!" reminds me of the story i heard of a guy who got arrested b/c he couldnt outrun the cops b/c he pants were so baggy and hanging off his ass down to his knees that he could barely run. lolll . at least in a kilt you can run like like the wind!

come on, we all know those people in real life, who like to poke fun at anyone and everyone they can, yet they are no prize themselves!
i think there are a few of those on this board.

the actual purpose, if you must know, is to protect braids or dreadlocks while wearing a hat or helmet....which is why you see many athletes with them
or course, like the baseball hat, many people wear them, just to look "kick ass" (like Eminem).

man, you must be at the height of fashion to be making fun of all this stuff. how about instead of being negative, be positive...give us some fashion tips from muschi!!!

its really quite simple and obvious Sonar, do something with your hair, with you. spike it, grow it long, do something other than be a walking billboard for some corporation or anythign that lessens the value of individuals by trying to latch on to the supposedness greatness of some entity like a sports team. its like saying i need something bigger than me to associate with b/c im not good enuf. where's the originality, the humanness, to wearing something that respresent something other than u. god, doesnt this society try to water down the individual and humanity enuf?! god this vicodin is good.....(it's for my injured back)

yeah, cause spiked hair is the true form of self expression......i thought you were from Jersey not Arizona!
and you still didnt actually give any advice...just more of what not to do...ahh, the negativity....
oh, and bend at the knees and you wont hurt your back..

well, big hair is a jersey thing. spiked, schmiked, who cares.
do u always need someone's advice or cant u figure it out for yourself, grashoppa?
ok i'll try to do that the next roundhouse kick i practice, bending at the knee, should work real well. hey thanks, what would i do w/o yer wisdom sonar! garsh! i wish i had all the answers like u.
:p

Originally posted by muschi:

just wondering how many times you can reply without actually being able to give any fashion advice, since you are so quick to rip others'
i just figured, you must have your own....but apparently not. its not surprising though.
-
uh yeah i got the idea the last time u said it. ok u got me. im not a fashionista, oh the shame and sorrow. [sniff sniff] cant fool u. u win. happy? :D
-
Originally posted by muschi:

not really. but i will put my hat back on now.
-
The thing I don't get is the style of just placing the hat barely on your head, so it's like perched really high, instead of being on proper.
huh?
-
same way i dont get wearing your pants around your knees.
-
I'm not a hat wearer of any sort myself, but don't really have a problem with some doodle wearing his wankees or redsox hat or whatever, to show support of their favourite team. I do have a problem with the twats who wear them backwards or sideways though.
"You're not a baseball catcher, you don't even have the hard hat on top of it...you look like the complete twat that you are."
In fact, if I was a politician I would propose a bill that anyone wearing a baseball hat backwards or sideways, (or golf sun visor upside down for that matter) can be severly 'dope slapped' without any retribution for said 'dope slapper'

Or womens clothing and giving them another name, like kilt for example.
...and while I'm venting, what's with the contorted hand gestures? You look like you have severe arthritis of the hands you stupid fuck!

20 & 30-something year old guys trying to act tuff but last time i used secret hand signals i was in the cub scouts and 10! reminds me of the lil kid in the movie xmas story who gets his ovaltine scret message decoder..."you'll shoot your eye out kid!" i actually said that to my nephews this wknd. ha
"yeah, baby!" another thread revived from the dead!
