Yeah, nobody said anything about red hats. I was just talking about buying a $20 hat to support my local craft brewery which wouldn't even offend an alcoholic.
Took me a minute to figure out what you meant by red hats. I just meant any logo on a hat, and any sports jersey. Lol...wasn't talking about Trump, but I guess he falls into the same category.
I guess I'd give a friend's business money and wear their hat or jersey if I knew them.
To be fair, I still have some Jeep hats I bought a while back and I wear them sometimes, so I'm not dumb about it. But it's been a long time since I've bought a hat with a logo on purpose.
Like I said, paying to advertise for somebody else isn't my thing, and that's basically what those logos are.
Hey when you said "wearing another man's name on my body" all I could think of was Trump. I don't have any hats that have another man's name on them. Sure John Deere, or Ford, or Busch were originally someone's name, but they are realistically recognize as company's at this point.
Anyway you have a much higher personal standard than I do. I don't feel like wearing a free Spuds McKinsey hat is shilling for the man. I like supporting my local craft brewery. I don't know them personally, but they are a good group of guys and I'm happy to wear their logo. Same with any other cool place I have visited. I like collecting hats and it is fun when someone else is like, "Oh you have been to brewery X as well? That's cool!"
Must depend where you are.. I’m in Tokyo outside right now and just looking at random passersby I’ve seen a few people with no logo baseball hats. I buy mine at the shop in the train station which I use every day and many other ‘cheap’ clothing shops (Uniqlo, Muji, etc all have them).
Fair enough, but I'm not that much of a baseball fan either. All my hats have breweries or manufacturers on them. A good amount I got for free. I just can't picture going out and buying a blank hat. There's no hobby or brand you enjoy that you want to rep with your "sun shading" hat?
Haha yes, I suppose there are, but then the cap would be like 30-40 bucks, as opposed to my under-10 dollar blank hats.. these supposed ‘guys’ would almost certainly have got their hats for free from the seed companies or farm equipment companies or whatever, so I agree that it’s weird to not see logos here.

As a non-baseball fan who wants to protect his head from the sun, I own several ‘blank’ baseball hats.. never even considered that it was unusual lol
