Backwards Baseball caps

[44INAROW]

another thread made me think of this.........

Coaches - how do you handle it when (if) your players (while on school functions/school grounds) wear their baseball cap backwards. It is not tolerated in Cuero - just wondering how you'll handle it :)

why does a backward hat bother so many people?

Well for us old timers it means you have too many catchers.

I would rather see a backward cap than one that is cocked to the side.

[RoyceTTU]

At what age do you become an old-timer?

I'm only 30, and don't consider myself an old-timer. Mydad is over 50 and I really don't consider him one either.

[Ernest T Bass]

More important things to worry about than the direction of a baseball cap.

[NastySlot]

IDK...I was just told to wear it right and take it off inside and when eating.

[garciap77]

It is not tolerated in Wylie!

And it should not be tolerated in America:

I guess it depends on what your talking about. Since this is a site about H.S. football and sports you become an old timer if other old timers PM about how cold it was during the Brownwood / Cureo State game in 70! ;)

I'm sure there are several on this site that think you are over the hill at 30. :D

[sahen]

i used to always wear my hat backwards but i was the catcher...as a matter of fact it took a long time for me to get used to having it forward with the bill in the way (or it seemed like it was in the way to me at the time)....the catcher's mask never seemed to fit right w/o my hat on, plus when i practiced i just had the mask and not the batting helmet part to use...

Why should any of you care how someone else wears their hat? :confused:

[bobcat1]

I could care less about backwards. The sideways one looks stupid and always lets me ask them a question ; Are you trying to keep rain out of that ear? :D

[jockcity33]

It is not allowed in Fort Stockton. If I catch them and take it away they have some serious "extra conditioning" to do.

[Old Tiger]

Because of my ego backwards is the only way I can get my hats to fit properly.

For me, it just depends how long my hair is and whether or not I'm wearing my sunglasses or not. I'll wear mine both ways. If I havent formed the hat to my head yet, then I'll wear it backwards because of the poof in the crown and it just looks weird, but if I've had it for a while and its formed then I'll wear it regularly. Just depends on the cap and the situation.

Broad strokes, don't you think? Everyone? Always?


Like I said, it's not tolerated @ Cuero ISD - and you ask why? Because that's the rule. Plain and simple. Also, it's called
R E S P E C T.. something that is lacking, as evidenced by, well - it's just evident :doh:
I do agree with those that say that "sideways" bugs them more than backwards. I guess the days of a gentlemen taking his hat/cap off when going into a building are fading away.. and heaven forbid they remove the hat/cap at the dinner table.

your momma brought you up right :) I can't speak for them all the time, but I guarantee my boys KNOW to remove their caps and for the most part do, but I'd be willing to bet they don't remove them at Whataburger @ 3AM after a dance :) They also know to stand when a woman enters the room and especially at a table......... do they do it when I'm not around? probably not but I like to think they do :)

I am proud of Cuero and Wylie for not allowing caps to be worn backwards. Why? Because a cap being worn backwards looks gangsta and downright tacky. My Dad didn't let me wear my cap backwards and I sure as h#ll don't let my 11 year old son wear his backwards. Please Cuero and Wylie, stick with the discipline! Continue to be old school. Don't give in to the wussyfication of America!

[truebluestang]

Why not let them wear their pants backwards, their shirts inside out, sag their pants, look however they want. Remember it is all about how they look. That is what its all about- the attention they draw to themselves which defies every team concept I can think of. I could care less about the non-athletes in a school but athletes are suppossed to represent their program and school a little classier than that. I think if kids want to look like thugs, they eventually start to act like them as well. Kids are always going to try to get away with as much as you allow. If you never address this just wait until they take the field representing your town. We love it when we play teams like that.

[bobcat1]

There are exceptions: if you are welding you want to cover the ear turned toward the weld if you are welding underneath something. Also other times such as shooting a bow or as G2 does when he peeks in windows. :D

Wow!! I dread going home and telling my husband what a "wuss" he is because he sometimes turns his cap backwards.

I guess I am in the minority here. Greenwood didn't allow caps on campus, so it was a non-issue. During DARE week, I think there was one day that they could pay a dollar and get to wear their caps....but that had to be worn properly or they lost them, I had no problem with that.

I also had no problem with my 4 boys wearing their caps in the house, frontwards or backwards.....I had bigger worries than what they were wearing on their head.

Now that I think about it I never have either. But when one of their grandmothers are around they mind their manners. My wife doesn't care but then the boys don't eat with hats or caps on at the dinner table. I don't have any sons that wear caps sideways unless they are welding or making fun of friends that do.:D

Most gangsters I know wear their hats tilted to the side or backwards yet still tilted to the side.



Granted a backwards hat on some people don't make the wussy the wussy makes the hat.

[RoyceTTU]

I wear my ballcaps backwards and my visors forwards. I promise, I'm no wuss.

It's all in preference

The main reason I wear my ball caps backwards, is I hate the high rise front that most caps have. I used to cut out the netting in my baseball cap in HS so it didn't look so stupid.

The hat to the side stuff retarded looking. to each is own.

My hats only are worn when I need a haircut or am in too big of a hurrry to comb my hair. I don't think the way hat is worn has anything to do with manners or deminor. It really only has to do with personal fashion.

[44INAROW]

remember - the question was about athletes on or @ school functions.. So, if they are wearing their caps backwards or cocked to the side or however you wanna call it lol, I think that's disrespectful of the R U L E S.

I know, when mowing, my husband will turn his cap around to keep the sun off of his neck. The only bad thing about that is he has a half moon sunburn on his forehead!!:doh:

I hope I get to call a Brownwood football game this year and I will wear my white hat on backwards. If they say anything I will tell them Ranger Mom said it was OK for men to wear them that way.

I remember on the bobsled at Six Flags, the operator told the boys they needed to take their caps off or turn them backwards if they didn't wanna lose them.

I started laughing on the ride when I saw how many caps were down there!!!!

Perhaps your constant posting in a style that portrays your feelings of superiority! You think?

Whether asinine or ignorant it is a common sterotype in todays society. The backwards ballcap is viewed by the vast majority of Americans as gangsta or thug.

Whether asinine or ignorant it is a common sterotype in todays society. The backwards ballcap is viewed by the vast majority of Americans as gangsta or thug. Or very Woody harelsonlike from "White Men Cant Jump" :D :D

I don't personally know anybody that thinks that about a backwards cap.....just the sideways one.

I met a certain poster from Brownwood on several occasions this season, I believe he has 4 kids and every single time I saw him, his cap was on backwards.....never once did I think of him being a "gangsta or a thug."

I think the tilt of the cap to the side, followed by jewelry, and sagging pants would be the more common stereotype, at least from my experience with people, not only the cap reversed.

[Ranger Mom]

WOW!!!!!


So Spanky and our gang was REALLY a "gangsta gang!!"



Check out those backward/sideways caps!!!

[truebluestang]

I think there is a good ole country boy way of wearing a cap backwards which I've done and the goofy way that the gangsta wannnabe's wear them. Regardless, school is not the place for caps in my opinion due to the fact that some will wear them in rediculous ways. I'm old fashioned and think shirt tails should be tucked in, pants pulled up with a belt, clean shaven faces, etc. It is all a matter of discipline which is something that most lack today. Ever asked a kid how many times he's been disciplined with a belt- almost unheard of today. The ones that have usually are your good kids.

If there is a dress code to be enforced, follow the rules plain and simple. If there isn't one then it should be a non issue.

I agree RM. The sideways does look "thuggish" and the upside-down visor just looks plain silly.

To me a backwards baseball cap looks athletic.

Facing forward - yes I follow the rules and I might be a nerd...
Backwards - I'm athletic and comfortable with my appearance
Sideways - I'll probably be in jail next week so enjoy the view

Motocrossers wear the kind that go over the ears...strange...

Try being in the military in formation with yo' hat on gotcheyed...

Remember when Roger Clements bought (I think) an old NY Yankmee hat previously owned by some old Yankmee like Babe Ruth or whoever. The league told him if he wore it in a game, he'd get fined. He wore it. He got fined...

[bolshavik]

Taking off your hat in a building is stupid unless you are in a church. Pulling over for funerals was only respectful when funerals were still horse and buggy because cars would scare the bejesus out of horses. Wearing ear rings in rt or left ear is so 60'70's people dont bother with that BS anymore. Who cares how a kid wears a hat. Cuero can wear theirs old school and rip those that dont but heck...They still haven't won a state title since 1987 so whats the difference???

Seriously though, it is respect for the dead and their family and friends and anybody who doesnt pull over is just being direspectful, Just my opinion!

Guess it depends if you are in it or not.:thinking:

[GrTigers6]

What does it hurt to pull over for a few seconds to a minute. if your in that big of a hurry, then you should leave earlier.:thinking:

[BwdLion73]

If your in it, turn your lights on and follow the big white or black car.

If your approaching it, pull to the right and stop...remove you cap...hat... ect. no matter which way you have it on.

If its yours...enjoy the ride.

[DavidWooderson]

I don't mind them being worn backwards, but flat billed and crooked to the side like Purke at TCU and the rest of them wear it....they look like morons.

I've been known to wear my hat backwards from time to time if the sun is shining on my neck. My thing is if you're gonna wear your hat backward, at least have a fitted hat.

[bolshavik]

I try not to stop for funerals. If I can I just flick my lights on and follow the leader until they pull off and I jet right on past them. If it makes ya feel better I go ahead and say a prayer when im interrupted by a procession. I usually pray that the line isnt very long. Now, if it is too late to cross I will stop for trains.

[FB-fanatic]

Is mine the only town that is worried about the next generation of dad coaches in the community. We have a group of 3 or 4 up-and-comers, dads, mid to late 20's, coaching select coaches pitch with a crap load of tats, caps either flat brimmed or cocked to the side, pretty sure they may have a skateboard or two at home, kids cussing now and then.....

I'm worried. There are still some of the "old school" type young dads running around, but just wondering if this group is unique, or the "me" generation we have to look forward to.

Thats the way it is today. :( Just remember, if you race the train and tie.....you still lose. ;)

Unfortunately, that's pretty common. But, here's the upside. This will probably hurt a few feelings, but I'd be willing to bet that none of these that you're seeing have college degrees. Therefore, you won't have to worry about them coaching on Friday nights.

I just brought up the funeral on the interstate question because the other day I was driving back from Monahans to Midland to get to a meeting and there was a procession that started somewhere abouts Odessa...of course at the time I honestly had no idea it was a funeral procession until I passed the hearse. It was then that I realized what I had done, but I remember thinking the whole time man this right lane of traffic sure is moving slow:doh:

I think its different on the interstate or a major highway. I've passed several firetrucks and even an ambulance before going the same way. Some of the firetrucks have trouble getting over 55, and sometimes those pesky ambulances are only going 75 or 80! But I was wearing my hat in the correct West Texas manner.

You are seriously talking trash about Cuero's record.. Be a man and say where you're from and I bet you'll get laughed out of here. I am ROFL right now. I'd match Cuero's overall record in ALL SPORTS to the school you "support" now.......... :hand:

[bolshavik]

And when did Brownwood become West Tx? Abilene starts West Tx and Brownswood is not even as west as abilene sooooo...You arent West Tx. Heck you are onlt 122 miles west of Waco which is the heart of Central TX.

[bolshavik]

Uh...I live in Southlake and we dont get to play South TX teams with East TX talent. We play the real deals Cuero boy.

[FB-fanatic]

I've said it before, to me, the divide is I-35, with anything west of it "west Texas". Most people from my hometown of Comanche consider Comanche "west Texas".

[Ernest T Bass]

So, does that make Irving and Arlington, West Texas?

you and I both know that's not true but I'll leave it at that. You may well live in Southlake but you know I meant where you "work" I won't embarress you and will not go any further.

[BwdLion73]

I was coming from Lubbock and passing through Sweetwater when I passed the ambulance. :p

Get a map...Brownwood...not Brownswood is about 26 miles from the geographical center of Texas. :rolleyes:

[bolshavik]

That aint the divide...Abilene starts West TX. So the west side of Waco is west TX? lol...thats crazy. When you get far enough west that most stuff is dead and there is 0 water...that is west TX. You just really must wanna belong somewhere. Hell, I didnt know I was a West TX kid. I was born about 3 miles west of I35

Technically, Abilene is closer to Texarkana than to El Paso. So, that would put Abilene in East Texas, right?
THAT explains the speed that Abilene High and Cooper have. They're in EAST TEXAS!!

It's just because they wear their hats in the proper manner.

[GrTigers6]

The way I look at it, you take the town of West, Texas. Everything on the west is west Texas and everything east is east Texas
:D
Seriously though someone from Abilene saying that brownwood isn't west Texas and Abilene is, is like someone from gilmer isnt east Texas but canton is.
That's just retarded.

Used to live down there Was on the Gulf Coast for a spell. Played Cuero and got beat. Still thought that the whole Gobbler thing was gay and prolly has allot to do with how come it has been since 87 since yall won it all. Shoulda been the Cuero Cougars or Cadets or something. I think the whole Gobblers thing pissed off the football gods and they haven't gotten over it yet.

It's funny but that is what I thought over 40 years ago. Who in their right mind would want to be the "Turkeys".

Of course I was in my early teens and still had not picked out my favorite color.... We were lucky enough and prepared enough to win that game, but we know what a "Mad Gobbler" is now! ;)

What is your teams mascot?
