I have way, way too many Gator hats. I’ll admit this. It’s a problem. This one, though, is one of my absolute favorites. My friend Ryan gave it to me about a year ago and I have worn it to death. I’ve been trying to find another one and am looking for help. There is a URL plastered all over the inside of it for zhats.com, the home of Zephyr hats, but their site is terrible. (If this site isn’t a perfect example of Flash gone bad, I don’t know what is.)
I’ve determined that the model is the Hype, but cannot find the same one anywhere on the ‘net. There was one for sale at buy.com at some point, but no more. I posted a plea to twitter after the LSU game and fellow Gator Leia found a similar cap, but I’d really prefer one without the orange highlights. If anyone has any leads, please do drop me a line.

What the hell is this? I just got an email from Lids telling me that Nike’s got a new BoSox cap. Are they on crack or something? An “S” with the red socks? It looks ridiculous, and most people won’t even know it’s a Red Sox cap!
Check it out:
What are they thinking?

I really love that I didn’t have to stare at the page and wonder. I knew immediately, based on the context of the rest of the site, what MFY Fan meant. In other news: I just got what is probably my fifteenth or twentieth Sox cap. There’s something alarmingly tragically poetic about a man so hopelessly searching the world for a cap to replace what was “the perfect cap”.

Observations like this are why I love to read Tuesday Morning Quarterback:
This season, style demands that NFL players on the sidelines don baseball caps, often worn backward. Look closely next time you see a shot of a backward cap on an NFL star. TMQ has been doing this lately, and has noticed-the adjustable bands are always cinched halfway or even two-thirds over. Which is to say that NFL players, despite being enormous pumped-up gentlemen, have unusually small hat sizes. Think about it.

I’m wearing another new cap today. This one is a gift from The Coop. The Harvard Cooperative is the world’s best campus book store. They have everything a college student could ever need.

Check out the nifty hat on the Billycam! But you better get there soon because he’s changing hats even more quickly than me these days …

Some of you might have caught me wearing a Colorado Avalanche baseball hat on the webcam thingy there. I have to announce here that the groovy maroon hat is a gift to me from my good friend Todd from the Apartment of Sin. He went to Colorado last week and bought it for me. How cool is that? Send him an eMail and tell him he’s a cool guy.

How could I forget to mention that I own a pith helmet?!

Well … since you asked … There are 86 baseball caps hanging on the walls of this place. There are at least three in the Rodeo, too. And I know there are 2 in my gym bag and one or two more downstairs. There are:
I also have a big black cowboy hat, two fedoras, several Santa Claus hats, an Australian bushman’s type hat, and a few others scattered I’m sure.
