it was actually quality as fuck. something new era would make, the material was solid. I wish I still had it
and middle school was gay as fuck sometimes. I bought a gray alternate Orioles hat with the full Oriole on the front, and some kid called me a fag. Then he went and bought the exact same hat two weeks later and claimed he bought it first. Not tryin to be like "i did it before it was cool" but I definitely was up on the hat game before lots of other kids.
Before Fred Durst ruined it, I had a bought a gray Yankees hat, the only yankees hat i ever bought, and the same thing happened. got clowned on for it, then some kid bought the same hat and people were like "why'd u copy him?" because he was more "popular" than I was.
shit my hat collection then kinda shits on my hat collection now. I wore hats I liked back then, no matter the team, rather than just the team I like now. I had a retro 70's white and green A's hat (cooperstown collection), that I havent seen since. I had the red Texas Rangers hat with the big blue T on the front, and that old California Angels hat with the halo. I wouldn't be caught dead wearing those last two now.
