baseball caps are okay unless coloured white and worn in conjunction with Abercrombie and Fitch attire.

If we're talking about actual baseball teams caps, get a Red Sox one and crush it with a steamroller, then wear it proudly about town.

at this point, if I meet someone who's wearing Von Dutch, that's almost a dealbreaker.

Indeed, it's like a big "Avoid me, I'm an idiot" sign resting just above someone's forehead.

No-one says "cool" anymore. All the people in the know say "rung".

It takes a person of rare character to wear a baseball cap with class. I know I can't pull it off.

(includes another case of Spike Lee jerkdom)

“Until the late 1970s, wearing a ball cap anywhere but on the baseball field carried with it a cultural stigma,” James Lilliefors writes in his book “Ball Cap Nation,” citing the Mets cap of the “Odd Couple” slob Oscar Madison as one example of its signaling mundane degeneracy. In Lilliefors’s reckoning, eight factors contributed to the cap’s increased legitimacy, including the explosion of television sports, the maturation of the first generation of Little League retirees and the relative suavity of the Detroit Tigers cap worn by Tom Selleck as the title character of “Magnum P.I.”: “It made sporting a ball cap seem cool rather than quirky; and it created an interest in authentic M.L.B. caps.” What had been merely juvenile came to seem attractively boyish, and New Era was poised to reap the rewards, having begun selling its wares to the general public, by way of a mail-order ad in the Sporting News, in 1979....
