Quoting Mir (Reply 9): Every hat I've bought has the same sort of sticker on the top of the bill, and I always peel it off right away (the ones on the bottom I tend to leave on, but you can just as easily take them off too). I can't think of a reason why this one would be different. |
A lot of kids who think they are thugs leave the stickers on for some reason. The urban crowd loves to leave stickers on hats and tags on clothes. When I used to teach in Detroit I would see that crap every day. I still see it in the suburbs with the kids who have seen one too many rap videos.
I don't get the flat brim thing either....
This past summer I flew
CDG-
DTW and saw some young French kids on the plane who were wearing their hats in a very thugish fashion. I laughed because if those kids wore their hats like that in certain neighborhoods they would be showing rival gang affiliation and may get hurt. I guess they saw some rap video and think we all dress like that.
I saw a store at
MAN this year that was full of "Yankees" hats. I was kind of pissed off because if people really wanted to look American they would buy a Detroit Tigers, St. Louis Cardinals, Pittsburgh Pirates, etc hat not some stupid Yankees hat like some rapper who probably could care less about baseball. I proudly wear my Detroit Tigers hat when I'm in Europe. I wouldn't be caught dead in a Yankees hat....
