SOHH...I bought a fitted hat for the first time in over five years last week.

[*L*E*G*A*C*Y*]

its just...kinda the length and amount of emotion I sense in your posts.

Do you man...Just pointing that out.

Word. If you read into it, I actually turned it into a story about never giving up, perspective, following your dreams, and staying true to one's self. Using the fitted hat as an icon to the past...eh. I kind of figured at this point certain people wouldn't get it unless they were accustomed to my posting style.

Not everyone cares about a wall of text. Lol.

I have a shyt ton of fitteds. Haven't worn them since my frosh year of college, though.
They'll never go out of style. I just find it strange how some cats think leaving the sticker on is a good look.

I used to wear "The Game" snapback caps. Back in the day, the University of South Carolina and Fordham University ones were uber popular with cacs because they had the words COCKS and FU embroidered on the front, respectively.

Wow...I remember those.

Seriously around 2005/2006 the fitted game got crazy. Once they started grinding out those marvel caps, X men caps, collabs, custom materials...it was over.

Nikkas used to get crowned for wearing black brims.

Word after late 09 ish if you were still wearing black brim you were getting that ass roasted , I remember some new kid came into my homeroom in 2010 and he had the black nasty yankee hat and nikkas showed no mercy and demolished homeboy self esteem

Yeah...I'm guilty as charged...I'm one of THEM.

My fitted collection from 2004-2008 was like the shyt. Then one day, me and my homie were shopping in downtown Pittsburgh and found this store owned by this nice old Asian couple and they had the bomb as snap back collection....and all of them were 5 bucks each! At the time I was like "man...fukk snapbacks"...but then a rushing sense of nostalgia overcame me and I ended up buying three that day...including a dope white sox pinstripe snapbacks similar to what the lat Eric Wright wore back in the day. From then I was sold...no more having to brush through a selection of hats and find the right size or any of that.

Sold all my fitteds. Been buying nothing but snap backs since.

Then...last week I was waking down myrtle on the way to the jmz train stop and I saw the first fitted I bought and the most consistently premier fitted/cap, etc....The dark navy new York Yankees fitted!

This is ran by a black dude who's there everday...so i was like, support black business so I look through the hats and decide on that one. I've probably 5 of them over the years. So I tell him what size I wanted (7 1/4)...He grabs a 7/14 fitted. I try it on. It dawn near covered my whole head and I'm looking like Un Kasa in 2004 especially with my glasses on.

So I ask for a 7 1/8...again...same issue. Only instead of covering my head it's hovering on my head like Cam'ron in 2005. Alright...

I ask for a smaller size. He hands it to me. It's still on my head and not...really on my head. I'm starting to realize why I haven't bought a fitted in ages.

Then he hands me a 7. A 7. I haven't worn a 7 fitted since high school. Freshman year. And that was back in 1998 y'all.

And it fits. For a fitted.

The crowns on fitted are too dawn high. Like I could pull this thing over my eyes if I wanted to.

But then as I was wearing it...something magical happened!
I was magically transported to 2005...When I wore fitted everyday all day in college. And I was a big dreamer and I had big plans of making a success of myself in new York city. Suddenly, all that youthful enthusiasm that was washed away with reality, adulthood, and all of that came back to me! And I was inspired. And I realized...After all that hard work, the blood: sweat: tears...There I was. There I am.

Needless to say I put it away and grabbed the Brooklyn snap back I had bought for 10 bucks off of a street vendor back on.

But yeah...never forget who you are and where you came from!in this great future...you can't forget your past.

certain hats should never be worn as a snapback and the Yankee blue is one of them.
