As a Diamondbacks fan, I can't bring myself to wear a Yankees, or God forbid, a Dodgers hat. But I saw the same phenomenon when we were in Singapore last year. The NY and LA logos of those teams are as much a symbol of the US as a flag or Mickey Mouse, and they are everywhere. Hats, shirts, shoes, etc. While it used to be fashion heresy to wear a baseball hat, especially in menswear circles, I'm glad to see that changing and I appreciate the recognition that they are a stylish accessory for both men and women.
Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Brad! (And what an exciting time to be a Diamondbacks fan at the moment!) Totally agree with your comparison to Mickey Mouse - the U.S. exports entertainment fantastically well, that’s for sure! I like seeing baseball caps become a stylish accessory too - they’re fun and practical, and they look great on most people! Thank you for reading.
Another one I love! And I’m one of those people who wears a NY Yankees hat everywhere! 1) it looks great. I have a black ‘47 with flowers embroidered on it. 2) reminds me of my connection to NYC even when I’m not there
I wanted that black ‘47 with the flowers and it sold out before I could snag it!! I’m sure it looks awesome on you, and I love seeing everyone rock their love for the city 🤍
Loved how you took this seemingly simple fashion choice and recognize the symbolism of what it’s representing. You pulled together so many dif aspects (travel, politics, economy) to recognize that pattern. Great read!
