All pro umpires crease their caps, every good umpire I've worked with has creased their caps, I have always creased my caps, even all my regular baseball-style caps for off field use. I was told many years ago that you look like you are going fox hunting if you wear your hat like Elmer Fudd, without a crease in the crown. Even Ed Montague creases his beanie.

I cannot think of many "style" issues I hate more than uncreased hats.

I was told many moons ago that a crease in any hat makes you look like a redneck.

BTW-Elmer Fudd was hunting wabbits.

I was told many moons ago that being from Texas makes you look like a redneck.

ROTFLMAO!!!

I guess that's where I must have gotten my redneck, from being raised (my most formative years) in Texas and living so much of my life there! I guess I'll just keep on creasing my hats. At least I quit dippin' Cope and Skoal!
