Is there anything wrong with wearing the hat of a team you don't support?

Asked by Parrappa (2428points) September 20th, 2009

I’m a huge Phillies fan, I’ve got a Phillies flatbrim but I just recently bought a Dodgers hat because I like the blue color as well as the logo. I know a lot of people wear hats regardless of if they like them or not, but I just feel kind of weird wearing a Dodgers hat. Can someone justify this purchase for me?

uh, yeah???!!!!

been a diehard cubs fan since the 1970s. i am not about to bet anybody who says i have to wear a chicago white sox hat as part of the deal.

now, yes, i will wear a certain hat from another league only because it has my initials (KC) as in kansas city royals, but that’s about it.

I was just going to say, “as long as it’s not a Dodger hat.” For shame! Never wear a Los Angeles Dodger’s hat under any circumstances!

Go Giants!

I would never wear a yankees hat

My dad’s company does sports merchandising, so I get freebies whenever I want them. I end up wearing a lot of crap that pimps teams I’ve never even heard of. I’m not a sports person, so I don’t really care.

Now, one time he did give me a UH hat and I told him to shove it. Wouldn’t be caught dead in one. As if.

@La_chica_gomela- What’s wrong with the University of Hawaii? Go Rainbow Warriors!

You could always alter the hat and seam-rip the logo off (if it’s sewn on), if it bothers you enough. Otherwise, who cares? Is it better than having sun in your eyes?

Here is how you justify the purchase:

Grow a mustache, wear a Hawaiian shirt and when people ask if you are a Dodgers fan, tell them no, but say “I’m a big Magnum P.I. fan and I couldn’t find a Detroit hat…”

yes, anyone who wears a Yankees hat just for the sake of looking cool knows nothing, especially if they are not from around NY.

I will wear another teams hat for Irony, but never ever Dodgers, Yankees, Cowboys, or Stanford.

@laureth: But why would I? I have forty zillion other free hats.

For the record, I would never wear a Yankees or Red Sox hat. I don’t see the problem with the Dodgers though.

I can legitimately say I hate the the Yankees and Red Sox though and would never allow myself to succumb to that kind of low.

Yes. So you must relinquish your Phils hats to me.

This guy seems to survive

And notice how he doesn’t use the peak to keep sun from eyes

I once saw a Boston Red Sox fan wearing white socks.

@sandystrachan, heh, I think that’s the joke ;)
