* - some say creases look like garbage, some say it looks sharp. my reference to professional was to actual professional umpires that do the crease, as theirs tend to look better than joe schmo's creased hat. i personally like creases, so i do them.

I say it looks very professional. I have always made the sharp crease in all my hats. One time I heard a veteran umpire talking to a rookie who was working with him. He asked the rookie if he was going "fox-hunting," referring to his hat not being creased and having a big, tall, rounded bulge at the top. I never forgot that message, and made sure my creases were crisp.
I always wanted to get mine to look as good as the pros, but they never quite looked the same. Do they do their own, or do the people who do their uniforms put in the creases?
