Hip-hop turned it sideways more than backwards, I've thought that's a goofy look, but it's self-expression and in the eyes of the beholder. That would be an interesting corollary to this piece, the history of how that hat went backwards. Ken Griffey, Jr. comes to mind as one of the backwards-hat wearing icons but obviously it started well-before him. For me, it’s always gone backwards except during actual baseball games as a kid.

I don't remember when hat-to-the-back became cool for anyone other than catchers, but can that be claimed as a post-Hiphop thing? That's when I first started turning mine around. I rock the brim to the front or back depending on my mood or visibility requirements. I like it low on my eyes when it goes to the front though...

And, for me, it always goes backwards. Cool piece. Agreed. And, for me, it always goes backwards. Cool piece.
