Female Uniform

Not so long ago there was a thread about female umpires not wanting to wear caps. This weekend at the Nationals I realised what we do in Great Britain, and Europe (ISF)
Female umpires wear Peaks to keep their hair from not being displaced.

A Peak Cap is a cap with just a Peak, (front part of the Cap) with a strap around the head.
What a lot of Golfers wear .... Now you get it?

AH HA!

Wonder how that originated. I deal with British sports cars, and have been able to translate most English into English, such as boot, bonnet, spanners and such, but I have never heard a visor called a "PEAK"


The things one can learn on this forum.................
