The 4 Different Types Of Baseball Caps

Baseball cap season is officially here and it's time to keep the sun out of those eyes while golfing, hiking, and doing any other outdoor activity. There are 4 main types of baseball caps, each with their own unique features. Read on to find out how to tell them apart.

1. Snapback Hat

This hat has a flat brim and a high profile. It can be adjusted in the back with a snap closure. A variation of the snapback hat that features mesh in the rear of the hat is sometimes referred to as a trucker hat.

2. Adjustable Hat

An adjustable hat has a soft structure with a low profile. The brim is curved and the back features a velcro closure that allows the wearer to create a custom fit.

3. Fitted Hat

Fitted hats are not adjustable, but they come in a variety of sizes so that they specifically fit the wearer's head. They can feature a curved or flat brim and they have a high profile with a firm structure.

3. Flexfit Hat

A flexfit hat is a cross between a fitted hat and an adjustable hat. Instead of featuring a velcro or snap closure at the rear, it has stretchy material like Lycra or rubber woven into the hat to create a custom fit. The brim can be either curved or flat and the structure is usually firm with a high profile.

Baseball Caps And Baseball

Baseball caps were originally created for baseball players to wear as part of their uniform. The brim helps to keep the sun out of their eyes while playing. The first baseball hats were more of a soft, floppy style with a shorter brim.

The logo on the baseball cap helps to identify the team. The cap may also feature the team's colors so the players are more easily identifiable. Baseball caps for players have changed drastically over the years to accommodate more safety features. They are now reinforced to protect the player's from a concussion when they receive a ball or bat to the head.
