Why do people leave shiny stickers on their new hats??

[BankShot]

Pretty self-explanatory thread content here.... I saw a pic of one in Kizzle's thread about something-or-other knocking hard.

Anyone care to enlighten me??

[untouchable]

gotta keep it fresh bro, u kno wut it is

[Hawker]

Because they are tools (Posterize)

[AznTacoLover]

I asked other people they say to make it look legit and authentic?

[Gunnin4HoLeS]

Its fashion. Unexplainable IMO

[OneMoreSucka]

Black people love shiny things

[DC's Finest]

Its just the style. I used to play basketball with this guy who would never lace his sneakers, even in hardass five on five games. I once asked him why, and that's exactly what he replied with "It's just the style, man." Some people just think some things look better than others.

[BankShot]

Because they are tools (Posterize)

I like this answer the best so far.

[1manfastbreak]

cuz only 51/50 new eras got those stickers. thats how you know its a major league fitted

[RandomBalla55]

I thought this fad died.. it's back?

It looks cheesy as ****. Like you have to show off your "authenticity".

[BankShot]

cuz only 51/50 new eras got those stickers. thats how you know its a major league fitted

I guess I've just never been walking down the street or something and had this come to mind:

"Oh man, thats a sweet fitted hat..... but wait, it is major league fitted, is it certifiably authentic???? How will I know if he spent the extra, what, $10, $20 on that hat??? It would make him cooler if he did."

*dude shifts position*

"There's the shiny sticker, now i KNOW he's for real"

dnt kno wat to tell u then bruh u just dont have that stylish itch

[IlliniFan]

You just need to lighten up in general. You must be annoyed by anything and everything. Why do trivial things like this bother you?

[BankShot]

:confusedshrug:

dnt kno wat to tell u then bruh u just dont have that stylish itch

Well, "bruh," I guess i just don't define myself and others based on which manufactures labels I/they decide to keep on my garments after purchase.

You can have/enjoy style without being a douche, ya know.

[BankShot]

Doesn't bother me, I just saw a stickered hat in a thread, an felt like asking a question.

Why does me asking the question (something equally trivial) bother you so much??

:rolleyes:

lol how high is putting "bruh" in quotations on the douche meter?

[IlliniFan]

It doesn't. You're an easily annoyed judgmental person is all. At least that's what you portray on here.

[BankShot]

lol how high is putting "bruh" in quotations on the douche meter?

not nearly as high as actually using it in conversation :roll:

[BankShot]

LOL, i think its funny when people call others judgmental.

You're making a judgement about me right now... someone you know nothing about.

I just call it like i see it.

:roll:

[FireMcFailPlease]

because they can is the correct answer.

now if a whitey does this, hes a douche

[BankShot]

Because people are insecure. It makes them feel more confident to have that shiny sticker on their heads.

Second favorite response to my question.

[1manfastbreak]

not nearly as high as actually using it in conversation :roll:

sorry i dnt talk like i have a gun to my head. god forbid that there are people who are different than you oh holy doucheness:bowdown: lets all conform and act like squares. sounds like a fun thing to do "bro"

[BankShot]

because they can is the correct answer.

I'd like to give you props for your answer because you're a T-Wolves fan..... but thats a pretty crummy answer

[BankShot]

Using "bruh" in a conversation is not douchy.

Well i guess we run in very, very, different crowds. :confusedshrug:

[lefthook00]

It just looks fresh and brand new. Same reason why people leave chain tags on their shoes. Personally, I take the 5150 sticker off but I leave the hologram on the underside of the bill.

i can appreciate people individual styles, but keeping the sticker on your hat isnt something only one person does.

what? so black guys do it, nobody really has a definitive answer..they started the trend and keep up with it.

i too am white..wear and buy hats all of the time...i stay within my limits and always remove the stickers. its quite simple. whats so lazy about it?

[StroShow4]

I leave it on because I think the hat looks better with it on. Why do I think that? I'm not sure.

[BankShot]

No, it's not. The guy with sunglasses is exactly how I pictured you.

Ah, let the haters hate. I take it sometime in the past I told it how I saw it, and you got real butt-hurt??

Saying "black people do it because they can" gives absolutely no insight into the trend itself, the rationale behind it, or why people think its cool. I saw it as a cop-out response with no critical thinking behind it.

Not at all. I just formed a mental picture from your posts.

Hmm, so based on my comments on various subjects on an internet board, you conjured up an image of a short man displaying suggestive contact with a beard and a white-fro??

I guess thats a pretty good imagination from so little you know about me

as the joker said in the dark knight..

i mean, i could ask the 5 black people i know and im sure theyd give the same answer: because other black people do it..

The Joker may say that... but I think the complete opposite.

IMO nothing happens without some kind of reason or rhyme behind it. In this example, whether its because of personal preference or simply just to fit it, there is a reason behind the sticker. The reason I'm attempting to uncover.

Couldn't find a good photo of a basic Yankees hat with that sticker on it.

[1manfastbreak]

Anyone who leaves any sort of indicator on their clothing which denotes it as being "new" has serious insecurity problems.

how so?

[CeoTypeDoe619]

Hat looks plain as sh*t without 51/50 sticker.


Op sounds a little bitter though. As if he got clowned for being a white guy who was following urban trends

If you already had a negative opinion about it, why did you even bother to ask the question?

[BankShot]

If you already had a negative opinion about it, why did you even bother to ask the question?

Because I was curious??? I see it a lot but don't understand why it is so popular, or why people keep them on in the first place.

Isn't that inherent in even quasi-cognizant people? Asking questions when they don't understand??

Maybe through understanding I wouldn't feel negatively about it.

As for your hats v. my hats..... Probably. I don't really wear hats for style.

[CeoTypeDoe619]

Because they purposefully leave it there so that the rest of the world knows that it's "new", that they didn't just inherit it from their uncle or something. It's like "Hey guys, I just came from the store, where I spent money on this hat, because I have money to spend. I'm cool."

But maybe I'm way off. Maybe it has nothing to do with that. Maybe they're leaving the department store sticker on simply because they can't be arsed to take it off. That would be a lot of work.

Or maybe, it's because it's shiny and attracts peoples' vision.:confusedshrug:
lol im cool??

More like i got money.

Black people do it too but i get your point.

[BankShot]

That may be true, but I didn't create the thread so that I could be swayed into thinking its cool, and to go buy a hat and keep the sticker on.

I simply was curious as to why people do it, and now I have somewhat of an idea as to why its popular.

I don't have to agree with it, but I'm certainly not going to tell people not to do it.

[BankShot]

LOL always a race thing with you, even when its not the entire truth.

The real question is why do some men wear women's jeans. Silly hipsters. :roll:

[YAWN]

never understood it, but i guess its better than leaving the price tag hanging off your shirt or whatever.

[BankShot]

Either or. Is that the point you're trying to make by leaving the sticker on? So that people know you have money? Why not just duct tape a piece of paper to your chest that says "I have money" if it's so important to you that people know? Seems pretty needy, either way.

When it comes down to it even the slightest status symbols, such as a shiny hat sticker, are compensatory in nature.

If its simply because the hat-wearer likes the look, then thats one thing, but I think any time its on there so that others know its new, then there's something behind that.

[vapid]

Hey Bankshot you ever post a pic on here?

this is the gayest shit in the world.

I bought a Sox fitted last year and instead of having it in that big box they give you at the New Era store I just put it on and wore it out. When I was taking the stickers off, half the wig-wogs in the store were going 'whoa!' and climbing over each other to stop me from doing that. I laughed, and to add insult to injury I curved the peak.


BTW ipod 'bud' headphones fit my ears really well and I like them.

you're comparing to wearing headphones while using an mp3 player to keeping the tags on a ****ing hat?

its more like buying a car and keeping that specs sheet they always have taped on one of the windows. its dumb.

Hat's are generally for fashion. The sticker helps identify the brand, which is pretty essential to it's purpose. At the very least the sticker doesn't mess with the hat's function of blocking the sun or covering the head. The headphones on the other hand actually hinder the primary purpose of the device, which is to listen to music, because the sound they delivered was so inferior to the sound that the player actually put out. It's like buying a hat with holes in the bill.

That may be essential to some hat owners, but certainly not all.

Three most important things about a hat (to me):

1.) The team logo
2.) It fits
3.) The bill is of adequate size to block sun if necessary

[BankShot]

Its true. I ask a simple question (to which some gave me a simple answer, which I wanted) and people flip the f*ck out saying I had an agenda and the like.

[PowerGlove]

I take mine off.

It looks like garbage with it on, but then again I dont usually buy many hats because they are a huge waste of money.

[mlh1981]

No stickers on the hat for me. Not my thing.

[golddigger31]

so, what happens when the sticker eventually falls off? Do you have to buy a new hat?

[Rake2204]

if you wear a sticker on your hat you'll grow out of it. it will be the sort of dated trend that you'll be slightly embarassed about later in life. it's truly absurd for the record.
That is my hypothesis as well. I feel as though it'll end up being one of those things the next generation looks back upon and goes, "Wow, who honestly thought that was a good idea?"

I had the same question as the original poster. I always chalked up the trend as something started by someone with street cred and it just cascading from there. However, I always wondered if there was some kind of deeper meaning than that.

I feel as though the stickers on the hat thing will ultimately go the route of Hammer Pants, mullets and Zubaz.

But then Shannon just said people do it to be douches and you lapped it up. Just admit you made this thread to make fun of people who leave the sticker on there hat.

QFT any thread created by this bankshot functions solely as a platform for his condescension

Leaving a tiny sticker on a hat doesn't look nearly as ridiculous as a mullet or hammer pants.

[iamgine]

So they know when to buy new hats.

[Posterize246]

I've got about 8 new era fitteds. I'd say about 4 have the sticker left on and 4 have it taken off. It depends hat to hat. But I always take the price sticker underneath the bill off.

I don't see why people get so uptight over something so small as a damn sticker.:confusedshrug:

I'll stop short of speaking for the original poster but it seems a lot of the response is not a matter of being up tight, but rather trying to figure out what the whole idea is behind this phenomenon. Throughout history, tags have been removed from products. Now that they're staying on, I wonder why. I have also wondered why people would pay full price for jeans that come with holes.

Often I think the only explanation is these are trends and that's what trends do.

Yeah but we should explore on how these trends surface. Somebody start these things like somebody start the Lochness monster and Bigfoot myths.

Who knows it might be started by a bunch of rappers trying to honor Tupac by leaving the shiny stuff on their hats so Tupac can see em from heaven. :lol

Thats right up there with buying a product that makes it look like you've just got up and haven't done your hair. Just don't do your hair when you get up :confusedshrug:

[Posterize246]

this is the gayest shit in the world.

I bought a Sox fitted last year and instead of having it in that big box they give you at the New Era store I just put it on and wore it out. When I was taking the stickers off, half the wig-wogs in the store were going 'whoa!' and climbing over each other to stop me from doing that. I laughed, and to add insult to injury I curved the peak.


BTW ipod 'bud' headphones fit my ears really well and I like them.
Why not just buy a hat with the bill already bent, no stickers, and save $10+ in the process?

The idea behind spending the extra ten dollars would be to acquire a better quality of hat, not for a straight bill and sticker, correct? I'm asking sincerely, for I was not under the impression that the "sticker" hats cost more simply because of the straight bill and sticker. Is that the only difference between those hats and cheaper ones. . .the straight bill?

[rufuspaul]

So much butthurt in this thread. You guys need to use lube next time.

[dough]

Reminds me of wearing jeans and sneakers during the late 80's/early 90's with the tags still attached to it (not the price tags but the brand tag).

as far as the MLB hats goes, it's the authentic, on-field caps that are the expensive ones. It's the adjustable hats, or the non "on field" hats, that are cheaper.

I have no idea either. I just know new era makes hats with bent bills and no stickers for about $10 cheaper.

Oh snap, that's my sheet right there.

I admit, the "out of bed" name is just jive. But it makes the hair look good, so what the ****, right?

^That hat just doesn't look right to me. Something is missing...

^...that something is the sticker!



I don't know, the hat just doesn't seem complete to me without the sticker.

Pretty self-explanatory thread content here.... I saw a pic of one in Kizzle's thread about something-or-other knocking hard.

Anyone care to enlighten me??

This fad has been around for awhile. One of the gayest, ever.

[dough]

The people who keep the stickers on their caps are probably the same who keep their couches wrapped up in plastic.

[OneMoreSucka]

I don't know about all of you but I'm starting a new fad of keeping the size sticker on my pants.

I did that in 5th grade once, never caught on.
