Backward

[George K]

A pet peeve of mine - the "Backward Baseball Cap."

Other than being a stupid fashion statement, which lends it some credibility, I suppose, what's the point?

Why have the brim on your neck? Afraid of getting a sunburn back there?

Why?

@George-K It might be interfering with something you want to see, like something overhead.

It only means one of 3 things:

• You're at the rifle range
• You have a catcher's mask on
• You regularly post Insta stories of your microbrew IPAs like a fuckwad.

Thank you.

You're absolutely right.

Sometimes when I’m working in the yard and I’m sweating my ass off the front band of the hat will be soaked with sweat and the back isn’t as bad. I still want the hat to keep my hair secured, so I’ll switch it around. There’s also times when wearing a hat all day that it just needs to be flipped around for comfort. Kind of like fluffing your pillow. It’s not about any kind of fashion but completely about comfort.

It actually does work that way for tennis players, but other than that I think it looks a bit …special.

You missed the following:

• you are wearing eye protection while using power tools like a grinder, table saw or welding

• you are working underneath your vehicle.

I generally spin my hat backwards whenever I enter the garage to do any mechanical or woodworking work.

Also practical reasons.

I can tell none of y'all have ever ridden a motorcycle with a cap on...

Reminds me of a Candid Camera (or similar) show that had men asked to hold a ladder while a very attractive woman in a short skirt climbed the ladder. They wanted to see how many men looked up. One guy who had his hat on backwards, moved the flap to the front as it made it easier for him not to take a peek. Of course, if he was wearing his hat properly, there wouldn't have been a problem in the first place.

First of all, respect the uniform.

If you are in a game in uniform, just wear it the way it should be worn.

If you are in a game and turn it around because you are in the umpire's face and you don't want to get thrown out because you hit him with your hat, well, that can happen in the heat of battle.

Other than that wearing it backward makes a statement.

If it is a fashion statement, then, yes, it is stupid. But, it is fashion, to each his own.

If it is a political statement, or some kind of social commentary, then it is likely to be kind of lame, but it is a free country.
