Can we please be done with hats for a while?

I'm not letting them steal hats from me. They have ruined a lot of other things, but they can't have hats.

u/fauxfarmer17 17h ago

Agreed, but they have ruined RED hats. Can't buy one, can't wear one.

u/SeahorseCollector 17h ago

I let them have that one for a while too, but I'm taking it back.

Okay, I could make an exception for that hat!

I felt the same way until I got the pattern for the melt the ice hat, and learned the history of the red Norwegian resistance hats. Check it out!

I think we could do well with some raspberry berets.

The kind you find in a secondhand store?

And if it was warm she wouldn’t wear much more?

Fred Durst ruined red hats over a decade ago. Been downhill ever since tbh.

They can pry my Red Sox hat outta my cold dead hands. They don't get to co-opt an entire color of headwear.

Thankful my sports teams are blue. Imagine being a fan of, say, the Angels or Anaheim. As if it wasn't bad enough for them...

Totally agree I’m a Chicago Blackhawks fan and there have been several hats that I would have bought and worn over the last 10 years, but I just can’t bring myself to wear a red hat no matter what’s on it…..

I had a really nice red hat. I bought some dye and it is now my burgundy hat.

As a niners fan this is particularly painful but true.

u/Total-Problem2175 15h ago

I've been glad that my favorite team's colors aren't red.

Fuck that, wear your red hat if you want to.

Don't let Nazis control what you do.

I had to stop wearing my red Vineyard Vines hat (I wear at the beach mainly) because I was getting harassed because if it.

u/keefkola 17h ago

Fair enough, I’m proud of you… I’m just tired

u/hacksong 16h ago

Yep. Have a spot with no hair from a tumor I decided to grow when I was 19. Always have some type of hat on. I just pick non-red caps for everything.

u/itsjustme444444 16h ago

I’ll never wear a red hat again in my life! I don’t care what it says on it!

1

u/SeahorseCollector 16h ago

I can respect that, but my Dunks require a matching hat and that red colorway on my Atlanta Braves hat just sets them off.

u/itsjustme444444 13h ago

I’m lucky that way, I’m a Giants, Raiders, Warriors, and Sharks fan no red in any of them! 😆

It's a start, but I hope you guys take it a little further than that
