enough with the backwards baseball caps already...



floyd looked pretty stupid when he did it, but floyd is floyd, and that's one thing he could get away with.



vandevelde doesn't look much better, but the argyle helped.



you, on the other hand, look like a doofus. we all know what you're hiding behind that backwards baseball hat.



discuss.

Living here in NC, I see this crap all the freaking time. White boys trying to look cool.
"Yo, look at me. I'm hardcore coz my hat's all backwards n' ****."

I like rednecks and I like Urban street thugs. But there's nothing worse when the two meld into some confused, trailer trash, white punk driving his pickup blaring Eminem. Or whatever that rappers name is.

You don't think it makes him look 10 years younger? Maybe Cavendish in the news has got Levi feeling old?

Doggus

I agree. There is only one proper way to wear a cap.

Pedaleur

Would you rather the NE liberal politician campaigning in Iowa look?

fosmith

i know i'm not cool...but i really don't get ball caps in general.

However short sighted and judgmental,
I always took it as the international sign of an idiot.

Doggus

Then wear a turbin.

It wouldn't be so bad if it were not the giant duck-bill hat that is 3x the size of his head. We bald guys need some kind of sun protection on the old noggin, but come on - at least make it a fitted cap..

Looks like a few people woke up on the judgemental side of the bed this morning.

I'm thinking seppomaddness has hacked botto's account.

Who really cares? This is like arguing over white vs black socks. It's kinda stupid.

Really?

Too keep sun out of the eyes, sun exposure for bald guys, don't feel like combing hair.

Doctor Who

Yeah, I love having the sun in my eyes and a sunburned scalp, too.

What the ****?

steaktaco

Don't wear baseball caps, but I actually do flip my cycling cap backwards—whenever I get behind the lens.

WheresWaldo

You mean nobody wears white tube socks anymore?

botto 

i'm just havin' some fun, and LL is an easy target.

timmhaan

there is a worse thing, believe it or not... the visor:



now, this i really don't get.

botto 

faux burberry tartan, generic tattoo, cheap beer... what a cliche.





oh, another fan of the visor. i say he can wear one.

geist

Maybe it helps LL suck wheel better.

Matt Gaunt

How do you reckon he'd perform on a bike? Obviously a pretty fit guy, kinda heavy probably (no offence, sir) but plenty of power and aggression for the hills...

They should try that and call the subsequent reality TV programme "Pimp my Crit" or something.

Just a thought.

I swear (and yes, I'm being all judgmentally) when I see some young guy wearing a British Flat Cap I want to punch him in his, trying to be retro-hip, book bag carrying, conspiracy driven, coffee house chatting, college prankster face.

cslone

Oh, I know your reasons. I've come to expect it. I mean, you've got an image to uphold.

And yes, Levi is way too easy.

You did mean "race smarter" right?

Thirstyman

i always thought the backwards hat had to do with either: 1. hiding a non-sponsor company logo or 2. trying to be half-heartedly polite at a press conference and not covering ones face with a brim (your mom always told not to where a hat at the dinner table, right?).
