Backward Hats

 I would like to take a stand and make it known that personally I think the backwards hat fad should officially end. ( I would also like to add the pants worn so low the butt crack shows too-but lets take one at the time).
Now at the risk of sounding especially uncool and cerebral, I have never-not once worn my hat backwards.  It has always been my feeling that the invention of the hat with a bill that sticks out of the front to shade your eyes from the sun, and keep light rain off of your eyeglasses was actually a pretty neat idea.  Also, if I buy a Red Sox, or a Cubs, or a Boston Bruins hat to show my team support, I kind of like the idea of showing my allegiance right up front, and not expecting people to turn their heads to look at the back of my head to know which team I support.
My other main objection is this.  Nothing makes you look like more of a dope than a backwards hat.  You could put a backwards hat on Albert Einstein, - instant dope.  At least for me, the combination of that tight fit along the skull, and the fact that you have taken a very practical invention and completely changed it’s intended use screams out ,”I am a dope!”
Now you can add to this ban the sort of sideways bill also- this is an ethnic thing best kept with the ethnic group that invented it.  Some things ,”Yo” just don’t translate cross ethnically, like for instance old white guys calling another old white guy, “Homey,” or saying, “Yo,” or shaving their heads completely bald.  A black guy with a shaved bald head looks cool, a white guy with a shaved bald head looks like a bald guy trying to fool people about his baldness and not looking cool at all. (and turning a hat backwards and calling people, “Yo,” and “Homey,” doesn’t help in this case either.
Now I wili end this by saying this.  Most of the dopes i see wearing backwards hats are between 50 and 70. Psst- guys you don’t fool anyone because not only can they tell you are between 50 and 70. but the fact that you are brining attention to yourself with the dopey looking backwards hat.  Not cool, “yo”- and all my “homey’s” know that!
Hitch those pants up too we will discuss those another day.
