Lastly, regarding the Browns.. I thought this was their year to do well, but I think I thought way wrong.. I honestly have no idea how they beat the Redskins this past weekend, and I forsee them struggling to win games from here on out. I'd like to be wrong, but I'm just being realistic.. We'll see what happens though.

I know the feeling, man. I thought that the last 4 years were going to be our year to do well, but we have only broken .500 once. Oh, well, there's always next year...

To all you military types that are getting bent about the guys wearing their hats off kilter do yourself a favor...go back and look at some pictures of a lot of the WW2 era G.I.s. A lot of them wore their dress uniform covers off their heads at a slant. It was quite funny I first noticed it watching the History channel and I was like..."huh...who knew the latest hood life trend was started in 1940 by a white guy."

SirSeymour · 10-06-2004, 05:01 AM

Backwards is not such a big deal. I do that sometimes myself, especially when working around the house on a saturday when I don't shower first thing in the morning. It is the guys that wear their cap at slight twist to the right or the left that get me. They are just trying to look the part of the hip dude and it drives me nuts. Just like these kids who feel the need to wear their pants down around their lower hips so their boxers show out the top. Around here, it is not uncommon to see kids who have to actively hold their pants up with one hand to keep them on their body. Ridiculous.

psydreamer · 10-06-2004, 05:19 AM

I don't always like the brim limiting my field of vision, so I sometimes wear mine backwards too. Generally, when I see someone wearing one backwards, it makes me think of college.....a lot of us wore them that way.....back then.

DDDDave · 10-06-2004, 05:48 AM

OK, since you asked...

This backwards hat thing is all a part of a larger social phenomenon, or should I say scourge, known as the 'pussification' of the American male.
Since when did it become neccessary for any self-respecting man to have to 'accesorize' his wardrobe? What's next 'man purses'?, hair ribbons?, shoes with flowerdy stuff on them?.
Real men don't need a hat to establish some sort of persona. Hats were invented to serve a practical purpose. Several of the real men here have told us how they are still used today as such. Farmers, sailors, ball players all wear the hat in it's correct orientation to serve a true need. Even wearing one around on a Saturday morning to hide 'bed hair' is at least reasonable and serves some purpose. Wearing a hat backwards for a night out on the town is just wrong, and dare I say, stupid. Why not wear a scuba mask? Maybe some soccer shin gaurds? Cool, huh? 'Hey blood, look at these cool rubber gloves I be sportin' tonight'.

So, other than seeing a low self-esteemed punk trying to make some sort of 'angry young man' statement to the world, or a flamer trying to outdress his other flamer friends I don't percieve any thing different about someone wearing his cap backwards.

Bill O'Rights · 10-06-2004, 06:14 AM

I wore a backwards ballcap in the late 70's. Of course, I was working as a welder, at the time. The bill of the cap kept hot sparks, and slag, from going down the back of my shirt collar. That was a little trick that I learned from my dad. Who would've guessed that we were trendsetters?

Of course, when we were finished welding, and took off our hoods, we would turn our caps around to face the right way.

I do, however, prefer to be identified as one who does things the way they are done in a rural area that might be identified as backward, uneducated, anti-intellectual, and uncool. I enjoy the irony of that.

I'm with ARTelevision. The only time I wear my cap backwards is when it's under a welding helmet (where backwards it helps keep sparks out of your collar) or it's interfearing with my camera/flash.

StickODynomite · 10-06-2004, 09:36 AM

I must agree with those of you when you say the "crooked" look is very annoying. That implies that you're trying to be gangster, hands down.

As far as wearing a hat backwards, you can usually look at a person and tell why they wear it that way, for comfort or for looks. The only time it annoys me when worn for looks is when I see a guy wearing everything that color coordinates, his shoe laces with his shoes, his shoes with his pants, his pants with his shirt, his shirt with his hat. I really hate this, and I dont know why, but it really really irks me. They go a bit too far, and those are usually the types that just want to look gangster or "pimp"

Pragma · 10-06-2004, 02:08 PM

I don't see why a perfectly normal guy can't wear a hat backwards without people thinking that it "means" something - I wear mine frontwards or backwards, and I don't try to send any messages no matter which way it faces.

Hats are nice because they keep my scalp from getting sunburnt (and boy does that suck!).

since the beginning of this thread all I have thought of was All Your Base Are Belong to Us

I think it should be "What do you think of caps being worn backwards?"

or something like that

JustDisGuy · 10-06-2004, 08:43 PM

The line around here is, "Why do guys wear their hats backwards? Answer: It gives their boyfriends something to read."

The guys I've told that joke to have about a 70% ratio of turning their hat around right there on the spot. Makes me laugh every time.

Itunn · 10-06-2004, 11:00 PM

Hats don't bother me, but it's the clothes they were that gets me. Baggy pants, stooping too low that shows their underwear and baggy sweatshirts or basketball shirts. I work in retail, if I see those turds walking around in my store, you can bet I got my eye on you big time!

spindles · 10-06-2004, 11:17 PM

I wear in the direction that supplies the most shade to the direction from which the sunlight is coming (especially if out for a long time and have stupidly left home without a larger "all around" hat). Saving my pale skin from the sun is much more important than how I look.

We pale skinned computer nerds have to protect our look, you know

ultra_agent9 · 10-07-2004, 12:13 AM

I don't really give a damn how people dress these days. You wanna wear your cap backwards? Fine- just don't be holding a gun to my face and say, "Yo money bitch!"

wp93eclipse · 10-07-2004, 01:32 AM

There are times when i feel better wearing it backwards.. where it kepes my head warm and yet allows me full view and enjoy the scene with my eyes.. and there are other times when i dont[ want to look at the people and just be away in my own little world.. and i put the cap on forwards then.. i guess for me it all depends on my mood.

whocarz · 10-07-2004, 01:49 AM

I saw some clown wearing a pink baseball hat crooked today. It was pretty damn funny.

So what about the guys in the 30s and 40s that wore fedoras to the office or those wide brimmed hats to go out dancing? Everybody go tell your grandpa his generation started the pussification of America. lol see how that one goes over.

And it has to be a fullback or fitted hat!

baseball hat & cowboy boots (nothing else) is the only way to go, man. chicks dig it.

Lasereth · 10-08-2004, 03:34 PM

It doesn't bother me when people wear it backwards. Some people hate a bill in front of them but like the feel of a hat on their head. Perfectly fine!

I also detest the rule where you gotta take off your hat in buildings. That's bullcrap. Who. Fucking. Cares. I love how it's an official rule that you do NOT have to take off hats in my College of Business building at ASU. Not everyone wears a hat to block out "obstacles;" some people wear it because they haven't had a shower or because they like the feel on their head.

Crooked hats, visors, or upside-down visors? Dumbest fucking thing I've ever seen. When a person has the hat on sideways, it's obviously not comfortable. That eliminates every possible reason that the person is wearing the hat but one: to look "cool." If you wear a hat to look cool, you have issues.

-Lasereth

BuddyHawks · 10-08-2004, 04:48 PM

A couple years ago I moved from wearing hats to sunglasses. Now for work I have to wear one and it reallly itches.

Dengar · 10-08-2004, 07:07 PM

i only weear my hat when i dont take a shower and my hair is all messy. than sometimes i will wear it backwards just cuz i have a huuuuuuggggggeeeee noggin and my hat looks small when it is forward.

The only thing i have a problem with is when people wear visors backwards and upside down. pfffffttt

yournamehere · 10-09-2004, 11:15 AM

Hats only serve two purposes:
1. Shield your face from the sun.
2. Hide your "hat hair" until you can find a comb and a mirror.

There are only two reasons to wear it backwards:
1. When playing pool.
2. When giving a blowjob.

If you want to wear yours backwards, go right ahead - it's your right - just don't bother to ask me what I'm laughing at.

Especially if you're not carrying a pool cue.

joellp · 10-09-2004, 12:31 PM

I always feel bad for wearing my cap indoors but wearing one makes gives me bedhead x10. It's more embarrassing with it off.

Backwards is fine in my opinion.

AND, I've always found women that wear caps extremely hot - forward or backward.

AntoineMartinez · 10-09-2004, 05:35 PM

It really doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't like disturb the fasion flow. You don't want to be wearing a cap backwards in a business suit, would you? You would just look stupid.

wolfpack0102 · 10-09-2004, 06:58 PM

yep i do take issue with it

Sp0rAdiC · 10-09-2004, 08:59 PM

Hats worn as theyre made to be worn - Fine with me
Hats worn backwards - Fine with me
Hats worn pointing up at a 45 degree angle and off to one side - I can't talk to that person without getting mad

I don't know what it is, it's just something that really bothers me. And of course, if you're at a table or somewhere where there is a lot of conversation and people, you've got to take the hat off. I can't stand it when people don't. I grew up with my parents teaching me those kinds of things, and they stuck. I have never really worn a hat, so it's never been an issue for me, but my brother wears one at the stupid ass angle, and he doesnt take it off at the dinner table, and then when I ask him nicely, he just ignores me, and then my parents tell me to mind my own business, blah blah blah, ITS DISRESPECTFUL. Sorry, I guess I kinda went a little off on that one.

dood · 10-10-2004, 11:54 AM

I think anyone who has an 'issue' with someone wearing their cap backwards is really lacking something in their life. I don't have time to sit around worrying about what direction someone wears a domed piece of cloth on their head. But to each is own, if that kind of thing is important to you, then enjoy

Pragma · 10-10-2004, 07:37 PM

The only reason I can see why you might get offended at the clothing someone wears is if (a) it's got a message written on the clothing that is specifically offensive to you, your gender, your ethnic group, your sexual persuasion, etc. - or (b) the clothing is `special` to your group.

I can't think of any real examples of the last category, but let's suppose you belong to an indigenous group in some country who invented this sacred t-shirt, and only high priests are allowed to wear this t-shirt, and then Tommy Hilfiger comes along and makes a knock-off of the shirt, and you see some guy walking down the street wearing the shirt.

But getting offended or taking issue with a ball cap? If I was the type of person to take issue with a ballcap being worn backwards (or any other clothing item), I'd laugh - and then completely forget about the issue.

fastom · 10-10-2004, 11:25 PM

I thought they wore them to shield their under-30-year-old bald heads from view.

Backwards is just ignorance, the hats generally don't come with installation instructions and some buyers must miss the "Brim forward" tag.

solaron1 · 10-10-2004, 11:38 PM

I don't really notice people wearing hats backwards anymore. I work in the mall and most people who wear hats have them on normally. The thing that annoyed me most was when people were wearing their visors upside down and to the side.

joellp Upright	I always feel bad for wearing my cap indoors but wearing one makes gives me bedhead x10. It's more embarrassing with it off. Backwards is fine in my opinion. AND, I've always found women that wear caps extremely hot - forward or backward.

AntoineMartinez Upright	It really doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't like disturb the fasion flow. You don't want to be wearing a cap backwards in a business suit, would you? You would just look stupid.

Sp0rAdiC Insane Location: VT	Hats worn as theyre made to be worn - Fine with me Hats worn backwards - Fine with me Hats worn pointing up at a 45 degree angle and off to one side - I can't talk to that person without getting mad I don't know what it is, it's just something that really bothers me. And of course, if you're at a table or somewhere where there is a lot of conversation and people, you've got to take the hat off. I can't stand it when people don't. I grew up with my parents teaching me those kinds of things, and they stuck. I have never really worn a hat, so it's never been an issue for me, but my brother wears one at the stupid ass angle, and he doesnt take it off at the dinner table, and then when I ask him nicely, he just ignores me, and then my parents tell me to mind my own business, blah blah blah, ITS DISRESPECTFUL. Sorry, I guess I kinda went a little off on that one.

dood Upright Location: Chained to my desk	I think anyone who has an 'issue' with someone wearing their cap backwards is really lacking something in their life. I don't have time to sit around worrying about what direction someone wears a domed piece of cloth on their head. But to each is own, if that kind of thing is important to you, then enjoy

Pragma I am Winter Born Location: Alexandria, VA	The only reason I can see why you might get offended at the clothing someone wears is if (a) it's got a message written on the clothing that is specifically offensive to you, your gender, your ethnic group, your sexual persuasion, etc. - or (b) the clothing is `special` to your group. I can't think of any real examples of the last category, but let's suppose you belong to an indigenous group in some country who invented this sacred t-shirt, and only high priests are allowed to wear this t-shirt, and then Tommy Hilfiger comes along and makes a knock-off of the shirt, and you see some guy walking down the street wearing the shirt. But getting offended or taking issue with a ball cap? If I was the type of person to take issue with a ballcap being worn backwards (or any other clothing item), I'd laugh - and then completely forget about the issue.

fastom Psycho Location: way out west	I thought they wore them to shield their under-30-year-old bald heads from view. Backwards is just ignorance, the hats generally don't come with installation instructions and some buyers must miss the "Brim forward" tag.

solaron1 Upright	I don't really notice people wearing hats backwards anymore. I work in the mall and most people who wear hats have them on normally. The thing that annoyed me most was when people were wearing their visors upside down and to the side.
