| 1476747 | 2021-04-26 09:17:00 | But let's get it right here; I'm not so much a Yankee hater as a Kiwi lover. We have our own version of English in NZ, we have our own accent (which on my trips to Yankee land I have been told that they love) and we have our own version of spelling, all of which is unique to this country and I see no reason to copy the Yanks, and why would you want to when we have what is an almost perfect place to live in our very Kiwi way? But this is getting right off the topic which only one person, the bogan, has answered. Perhaps we could get back to the question; Why do they wear American baseball caps at cricket? |

Are they American baseball caps though. We don't want to get accused of cultural appropriation after all. But seriously, I'm too lazy to look up where that cap style originated. As a youngster, I had American football caps like that, Aussie league caps. Roadster branded caps. |

But seriously, I'm too lazy to look up where that cap style originated. As a youngster, I had American football caps like that, Aussie league caps. Roadster branded caps. Well I called them American baseball caps because I have seen the American baseball players wearing them in old black and white newsreel films in the cinema in the 50s, many years before they became popular here, although I could not say for certain that is where they originated - I just assumed from what I had seen. But you had me wondering, so I looked it up and this is what I found: www.google.co.nz ICCEQFhAdEB4yCAghEBYQHRAeMggIIRAWEB0QHjIICCEQFhAdE B4yCAghEBYQHRAeMggIIRAWEB0QHjIICCEQFhAdEB4yCAghEBY QHRAeOgIIADoICC4QxwEQowI6AgguOggILhDHARCvAToLCC4Qx wEQrwEQkwI6BggAEBYQHlDHF1j44QFghfMBaABwAHgAgAGVAog BszOSAQcwLjEwLjIxmAEAoAEBqgEHZ3dzLXdpeg&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahUKEwiN-ueY1pvwAhWy4jgGHSo5BV4Q4dUDCAk&uact=5 So that seems to be fairly conclusive, don't you think? |

Dare you to ask the Australian Cricket Team why they are wearing American Baseball Caps. ;) |

| 1476751 | 2021-04-26 20:20:00 | The so called base ball cap is a comfortable and practical option for anyone working or spending a lot of time outdoors. Especially if you need to wear earmuffs but don't have the hard hat version with them built in. I don't know why cricketers are using them and I don't care maybe just for the same reasons I have mentioned above. Their must be something that you can find to worry about that is a lot more important to the world for you to spend time on Roscoe. | CliveM (6007) | ||
| 1476752 | 2021-04-26 21:19:00 | Probably one of the reasons could be that they stay on when the are running? Floppy hats tend to disappear fairly quickly. Ken ;) |

Then why don't you start a discussion on a topic "that is a lot more important to the world . . . "? I'm certain that you should be able to come up with something much more interesting for everyone to discuss . Let's see what you have to say . :) |

| 1476755 | 2021-04-26 23:04:00 | To me the length of the visor looks out of proportion to the rest of the hat, and the way that it's curved annoys me as well. Definitely of American origin, I think they became really noticeable and annoyingly prevalent as a fashion item or street-ware in the middle 80's. All that twisting the caps orientation on the head either side and worst of all 180 degrees round the back is particularly irking. |
