← ALL CAPS: The History of the American Baseball Hat
Chapter 17.5 · A book in progress by Dan Sfera

The Backwards Cap

Rally caps, Griffey, and the small rebellion of turning the brim around.


Wearing the cap backwards carries its own history of superstition, youth, and attitude, from rally caps to 90s television. A short chapter on a simple flip with a lot of meaning.
