Title: Sun Hat or Cap
Post by: joeylough on March 27, 2013, 12:50:17 PM: Well it looks to me that the sun hats are phasing out with the younger generation going for caps.

But is it just a case of what type of player you are? Would a bowler for for a sun hat etc etc.

Sun hats look a lot classier than baseball caps. The traditional baggy caps are really nice but tend to be really hot to wear...

I always wear sunglasses.....! Cheap ones though, either GN, Sunwise or Woodworm ones (which have decent uv 400 lenses)

Could not agree more but the cap has to be oldschool wool hat, none of this baseball cap rubbish ;)

I always go for the cap and Oakleys combination. But even if there there is very little light I will always wear my cap like Cameron with the oakleys on the back!

Love the sun hat myself, but our club has baggy green caps that are embroided with each players' nickname and number, so tend to wear that more so now...

Agree that King Viv and RR look as cool as each other!
