Snapbacks Snap Back into Fashion at Fleetwood

Snapback hats have been making a comeback in the last year. These popular hats are not new to the fashion world; in fact, they were actually created and worn by baseball players in the 1950s. The Snapback hats became very popular in the 1980s and were worn as sporting apparel in many other sports. Snapbacks are also a fashion statement for rappers, hip-hop artists, and celebrities.

The Snapback hats are known for having a large front brim, a foam top, and a series of customizable snaps in the back. The customizable snaps are used to adjust the size of the hat. This can be very useful for people buying hats because they can adjust it to whatever size is needed to fit their heads.

Lately, these hats have become very trendy with athletes and celebrities, but many people from Fleetwood also wear them and own multiple snapback hats.

“I prefer snapback hats over fitted hats because snapback hats have cooler hat logos,” FAHS senior Daniel Lopez said.  “I own one red and black Cincinnati Red’s snapback that I love dearly, but I would love to someday own a black and yellow Pittsburgh Pirates snapback.”

“I personally like snapbacks because they are colorful, and I enjoy playing with the snaps on the back of the hat,” FAHS junior Sam Cabrera said.  “I own many snapback hats, such as a UCLA Bruins hat and a Miami Hurricanes hat, but my favorite snapback is my Atlanta Falcons hat. If I could have any snapback, I would choose the Supreme X Santa Claus snapback, which is very rare and very expensive. The reason snapbacks are popular again are because famous rappers such as Chris Brown and Tyga started wearing them again.”

A year or two ago, a person would not have seen them on the shelves, but now everyone can see more snapbacks than fitted hats. At this rate, snapbacks will continue to become more and more popular until that’s the only hat on the market.
