Hoodrat status symbol... flat bill means cap is new and not a hand-me-down. So why do baseball players wear them? I think it's less the above than an attempt to be like the "metal mulisha" MX douchebags. Bonus douche points if the ears are tucked in the hat as well. |

Probably around 1998-1999. Maybe even earlier than that. Mike Muir was sporting the look in the '80s.

I have an old 5950 that I bought in the '90s as a kid, when they were still made out of wool, wish they still were. The hat itself was shaped differently, too. ETA: Pro Tip: If you want your 5950 to not be a "flat-bill bro/gangster cap" then get one the proper size. If you can fit your ears under the cap, you are both an idiot, and your hat is too big.

Still doesn't make it true or right. Hey guy some day I might decide to become a dirt bag felon and Ill have the tattoo thing already covered. I agree just cause you have a flat billed hat doesn't mean anything but when you add ears tucked in, a bro dozer and white shades it borders on a sure bet

I remember when all the old guys wore caps up high on the head and wanted a nice flat bill
 In order to set themselves apart, the young guys would bend the bill in a curve and wear them flatter to the skull. The guys in their 40's and 50s and 60's thought it looked stupid. Now those 'young guys' are themselves in their 40s and 50s and 60s, and look at the lower generation who have reverted to flat bills and think they look stupid. |

We destroyed cap bills as a kid in the 90's. A large amount of my youth baseball caps had their bills formed with a baseball, and the bill rubber banded around it. It would look like a taco when you were done.  And then there was always that slow kid who would just cut to the chase, and fold the fucker right down the middle.
