cappital92 Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 Dude, these are just hats with rings around them. And, moving on...And that's a pillbox hat. A pillbox hat without rings is called a panel hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian in Boston Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 A pillbox hat without rings is called a panel hat.The presence of "rings" or "stripes" has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not a piece of headwear is a pillbox hat. The term "pillbox" refers to the hat's shape, not whether it features rings/stripes.That said, the hats you linked to in your original post are nothing more than hideous bastardizations of true baseball pillbox caps.

These, in particular, strike me as monstrosities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 fashion hats: badpillbox hats: usually badregular hats posing as pillbox hats, particularly these: terriblePillbox hats are like little pots. These are not pillboxes. Your love for all hats even resembling pillbox makes me question your thinking even further than I previously did...

CubsFanBudMan Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I like the idea, but would prefer the actual pillbox style. I also think these have the potential to be a bad victim of New Era's inconsistencies. I can't imagine they all line up in the store -- even some of these pictures look off.I have a Cubs pillbox somewhere... need to dig that out.

Decent quality, too. The dome hats with stripes don't cut it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my organization's softball teams would look unique as hell in pillboxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
