Back in my youth, those logos, if they existed back then, which they didn't, would have come off the brim, along with the price tag, as soon as I walked out of the store. What's that all about?

It's the modern day equivalent of Minnie Pearl.

Flat brim, 5950 tag still on, hat crooked on head. And probably a Yankees hat in a color other than Yankees colors. Ridiculous looking. I'm getting old, I guess.

Beats the alternative.

And here all these yrs I thought those brims were to prevent the sun from getting in your eyes. I guess with them on backwards you can run faster (aerodynamics I suppose) and the back of your neck won't get sun burned. Back in the day, who knew?

That's it. The MLB license holographic logos reflect more sunlight.
