Why do they keep the gold/black metallic paper stricker on New Era caps?

[Captain Equipoise]

They're cheap ass peasants, it's so they can return the cap or exchange it for another one in a month's time

Howard,

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

Good going mate!
"1"

Once I saw Jay wearing the cap with gold/black tag I knew it was overdue!

What kills me is that the guys in MLB playing on the field never keep the tag on the hat.
Why? It would look tacky and retarded.
Between  pants hanging off your ass and the gothic black death fashions of our youth, I am sure that China will pass us as the top nation in a few years.

Why so many young folks spend so much time and $$ to look like idiots is beyond me.

[Howard]

It gives the impression that it is fresher Aka just bought even though it isn't , I do the same with all my new era hats (6)

You keep that gold/black foil tag on the bill?
Ok, you know I fel it is pretty tacky but explain in more detail why you would keep a tag on an item of clothing?
How long would you keep the sticker taped on the window if you got a new car?

I can't imagine returning a WORN cap would be allowed. I mean c'mon you can't return socks or underwear after you wear 'em.

Thanks.

he is my bigger ? on this issue.
I have actually heard black kids bragging how ghetto or thug they look wearing some outfit.
I have heard goth kids proud that they look like walking dead, etc.
I have even heard some rednecks brag they were proud to look like red necks.
BUT, if I said the obvious, that they looked like a thug or redneck , they would be insulted? wtf?

Why go so out of you way to look ghetto or gothic or redneck and then get pissed when someone else says so and notices the obvious.

Yes you can.  I have returned Nike Pro Combat draws numerous times.

It's completely laughable, I'm 32 and I see the kids that are coming up now and I just facepalm, it's beyond pathetic
I don't know what the hell is wrong with the generation past mine, personally I blame MTV, people like madonna, rap culture (lol) for these little snots growing up like this, either they are all attitude and tell their parents to fuck off at the age of 9 with no repercussions or they are whipped pansies that want to express their femininity. These little bastards need a swift kick in the ass and a backhand across the face, we need to regain control of these little shit's before it's too late. If my kid ever talked back to me like some of these mtv'ers do I'd put him in a coma.

[HTexan]

It to show that the cap is new. Dating back to the 90's when people with leave the tags on caps. That being said, this style sucks.

[Doug_Steele]

In Georgia, YES! (Marv Albert YES!)

Its' the parents now...period.
My dad's generation grew up in the depression and then had to fight in WWII and/or Korea.
He worked as a welding forman every day at nucler sub base and didn't allow me to make excuses or feel sorry for myself.
When I wore something dumb or acted cocky he told me so in a direct way with no bullshit.

Lack of a 2 parent family really hurts kids. Values are caught, not taught. Lots of black kids grow up with no father figures and end up screwed up. They run the streets and need a man in the home to keep them straight. Kids of all race that grow up in broken homes or from single moms are at a disadvantage. I was lucky .

The fact that anyone would think wearing a store tag on any clothing item is pretty pathetic.

My mom or grandma would have beat my ass if they saw that shit on my head.

Generation nothingness.

I agree 100%. When I was a kid my parents beat me with a fucking hosepipe when I misbehaved. Anything they could get their hands on. As a kid I hated it but now realize they had good intentions. And I agree MTV is the absolute worst. Something needs to happen to their antennas or satellites. That company needs to go out of business fast.

I got slapped the fuck out when I was a kid and I needed it.

yeah and good parents are still doing that!
We see a growing gap now.
The grades and SAT socres of the avg kid accepted in the better colleges is higher then ever.
The top performing kids tend to come from better households with better parents and monitoring, regardless of race.

Both Obama and Clinton had absent dads but very involved mom's and grand parents.
I have read BOTH of their bios and the basic story of making sure they did good in school and being very involved in their life was obvious.

Damn right man, we should go back to the old days where you couldn't reproduce without the king's consent, these idiots are just driving the human race into the ground, lesbian and gay couples adopting kids, WTF is that shit?! where are the traditional values from a balanced family!? what you say about black kids is absolutely true, their worthless dad's go around impregnate 6 different girls then screw off to go find another girl while these 6 girls raise the bastard son's on their own and the process repeats. All this shit on tv is reinforcing these broken fucked up homes and making the stupid kids believe it's perfectly normal to be brought up by a single mother that's never there cause she's out partying or getting her 'groove on' while the kid is sitting at home alone brought up by mtv or on the streets doing and selling drugs.

TV shows are about getting ratings. Kids from better parents know the difference and end up at the better schools and get the better jobs, etc.
Idiots will always raise dumb kids with poor behavior and make poor  judgements.
Successful parents raise successful kids, for them these shows are entertainment . For the low class dummys they are real life they can relate too.
I can watch thos dumbest crimnals or dumbest whatever shows for hours and laugh.


It is like the gym, you have a few folks that really know how to train and the rest are pretty sad hehehehe

[Largerthanlife]

the stickers on hat is a og thing the blacks created and white ppl copy, the wife beater and saggy pants is always a good look for the fellas.

Absolutely right man, my parents told me when I was kid 'the world will always need ditch diggers and general labor'

[Howard]

LOL, pretty much the same thing I heard.
When I failed Algebra in 9th grade, my dad took me to the naval shipyard to show me what manual labor really was.
He went back to school after  WWII and Korean war to get certifed in basic civil engineering and worked on the hull integirity and welding of nuclear subs.
He showed me his work lifestyle and what the basic labor grunts did. He was quick to point out he had done the same work they did when eh was a shipright. He said it was honest, hard work and you got a pay check.
BUT, he smiled and told me that it was lot better pay and work life to have that education .
He chuckled and said  get good at math or get ready to bust your ass.

What kills me is that they go out of their way to look like ghetto thugs and brag about having that look.
But, if I said they look like a ghetto thug they woud be insulted. wtf?
