I always take all of the stickers and tags off, and like to curve the brim of the hat. But more and more, I see people (usually younger) wear hats with a straight brim, and with all the stickers on. And every time I see it, I get a bit ticked off. I mean, it looks so stupid. The straight brim is bad enough, but leaving all the stickers on makes it look like you shoplifted it or something. Why do people do this? And why is this considered cool? -_-    | ||

The reason why kids wear those hats like that are because: 1. They're kids 2. Soulja Boy does it Haven't you also seen the shirt and pant stickers trend? The way they buy it is the way they wear it, price attached. | ||

Edit: I am eighteen, I don't think that anyone will believe that I am going bald. | ||

This is absolutely ridiculous, of course they won't automatically assume that because he's wearing a baseball hat often he's trying to hide a baldness problem. They will think he wears a baseball hat because he thinks it looks good on him. | ||

It seems as though it can become an addiction, much like anything else can. I wouldn't be impressed if he told me he showers with it. To me, he looks like this without a cap: ![[image loading]](http://i55.tinypic.com/72eiyq.jpg) | ||

I don't think I could ever wear one, but the way guys wear them, *thumbs up* I wouldn't be able to tell you why it's popular though.. It's been popular for quite a long time now, though. o_O | ||

People who live in Gainesville all have one love, and that is University of Florida's football team. Wherever you go (in Gainesville) there is UF Hat, UF shorts, UF t-shirt, UF sweater, and UF crocs on, and this is the fashion here all year round every day which makes life here pretty scary. What I mean by "learn to live your life" is exactly how it sounds. Like this thread for instance, what is the point other than gathering if other TL members agree with you or not. If you are ever confused about whether you like something or not in life all you have to do is stop caring about what other people think and start thinking about yourself. | ||

Gator fans are only fans when their team is winning too which is pretty backwards. But like I said earlier do you REALLY want to know what is so appealing about this fashion trend? Is it interesting to you? I'm pretty sure BroOd has it with the fresh n so clean look idea its very common in low income areas to buy cheap stuff new to look nice like white T's, and these flat brim hats. This item is what I would call a Lovely Item, something that you wear so people are like "oh that's (insert name here), you can tell by his choice of hat for today". Everyone does this from the poorest to the richest of people, people just want to be noticed. | ||

To be honest I wouldn't really wear a baseball cap in either style. I used to like them I guess but I was a kid and it was the 90s. Something about it seems passé. | ||

I will say though, that the straight brim + sticker thing looks great with the various clothing styles that go with it. It's just a fashion choice, and a bit of a fad, I wouldn't call it alarming for any reason at all. Out here in LA, the straight brim thing has been around for years. You'll get used to it. | ||

I on the other hand, have no concept of trends and am the epitome of uncool. I like to think that it's so obvious I don't follow any fashions that I must have a strong sense of individualism and that makes me cool, but that's probably wishful thinking. | ||

Why is it that the moment i read the word "fresh" in the context with a cap, i can´t think of anything else besides ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/6umKf.png) ? It doesn´t even has anything to do with what you wrote ! (And to make it even worse, NOW i i think about the fact that it is nearly impossible to whip your hair back and forth with a cap... I´m probably going nuts oO ) But to stay at least a little bit on topic : when i see price tags/stickers still attached, it looks just stupid to me... they may think it looks "new and fresh", but to me it just looks like they forgot it... its almost as getting your t-shirt the wrong way in the morning because you are too sleepy. But hey, so is fashion trends... there have been worse (anyone remembering Buffalo shoes from the 90´s ? :D) | ||

The hair thing is an assumption, I have longer hair and hats make it look stupid : \ | ||

It practically disappears after that since everyone grows up and finds out that a ballin' hairstyle (or a more fashionable hat) is better. | ||

I know where I live, the main Skytrain stop in Richmond they hang around, the mall, Metrotown, Pacific Centre, a lot of North Van.. A lot of the guys do it. Like I mean, a lot. xD | ||

tl;dr (as it should be, being infinitely long and all): I can't stand that trend and think it looks incredibly juvenile and vain. | ||

I was having some beers with a friend one time and a young(er) lady walked by with one of those oversized lids - straight-brimmed with the stickers still on. He proceeded to pull it off of her head and put a 'V' curve in it. I don't think he would have gotten a stronger reaction from somebody had he kicked a pregnant lady in the belly - she absolutely lost it. | ||

Anyways, this seems to be an interesting fashion trend, though I'm so removed from the rest of the world that I have yet to see a widespread example of it. Back in my old high school, hats were against the school dress code, so I often wasn't able to examine any fashion trends for headgear. | ||
