Why do they keep the gold/black metallic paper stricker on New Era caps?
« on: June 27, 2011, 04:59:27 PM »
I see a lot of guys ( even Jay) keep the round tag on New Era caps after they buy 'em.
It is displayed on the bill of the camp and to me seems silly.
I have a New Era baseball cap and refused to keep the tag on it.
To me , that is like keeping the price tag on something.

I'm clueless why so many seem to think it ideal or fashionable to proudly wear the tag? wtf?
Thanks for any insight on this.

It's funny when they come in the gym looking angry, but trying to barely wear the hat struggling to bench 135.  :D I have wondered why this is cool, but i guess 29 is old as shit.  >:( I think it looks stupid as fuck, but that is just me.

Maybe? hehehe
To me it is like keeping the store tag on a shirt or similar product.
Are they trying to show it is an authentic  new era cap?
I am clueless

they're trying to show how new it is , and also perpetuating the idea it might've been stolen.

stupid assholes.

I honestly think it is show easy to see "proof" they have a genuine name brand cap on, kinda like a designer label thing maybe.
To me is is really tacky .

Pretty sure it's a black thing that (for reasons unknown) took off and got popular. Makes the hat look stupid and practically useless, plus most just throw their hats away when they need to be washed. About as idiotic as you can get, but that is America for you, I guess...

i heard nuggas on my block say its to signify that  it's not fake and the gold sticker is usually the " New Era" Logo and size and showing it shows authenticity  ::) ::) ::)

As if it were a $3,000 + Rolex

Boy o' boy...

Wait until "they" take a look at this thread, you guys are going to hear it from "them".

Here are some pictures for "their" motivation..







I'd also like to add that I've had many NPC competitors pose for me wearing nothing but their New Era Caps with the sticker on the rim, while Flo-Rida's Low was playing in the background...

I see a lot of white and hispanic guys wearing 'em with the sticker, even Jay Cutler did  in a video?
The thing is , every New Era cap has a small label tab that shows the brand, washing cautions  and size INSIDE  the cap.

Reminds me of when ol' Minnie Pearl of Grand Old Opery fame wore the price tag hanging off her hat.
It was a joke-goof on the idea that a hillbilly would want to "show off" that is was a "store bought" hat.


Her price tag thing was part of her act and a complete goof.
It amazes me that anyone would feel the need to show obvious visual proof that they had a real hat on. wtf>
That is pretty sad and pathetic when you think about it.

Howard,

I have to say, this is probably one of the best threads you have created in a long time.

Good going mate!
