Question from an American: Do English people wear baseball caps?

[agbaby]

I'm not big into buying team gear to be honest, but I was thinking about getting an Everton baseball cap. I have short hair and my scalp has a tendacy to get sunburned if I'm out for a lengthy amount of time, so I have several caps that I wear, depending on the mood.

 

Anyway, I found one online. As I purchased it, it occurred to me that I don't really recall English people wearing baseball caps all that often. Whether it be BBC shows I watch, live shots of crowds at sporting events or other British things, or even documentaries. I just don't recall many people wearing baseball caps.

 

They're so common in America... I was just wondering if my perception of English people not wearing baseball caps is right? and if so, is there a reason why?

Fair few do. I have one (EFC) which I've worn for years. more for practical reasons rather than style. Not much hair left and I have to protect my head from the sun; it's been retired now because I have to wear a wide brimmed one to keep the sun off my neck (got one that looks like it should have corks dangling from it ).

It's unlikely to be made, but I would LOVE a New Era 59Fifty fitted Everton hat. All blue and just the shield on the front. EPL badge on the back or maybe "est. 1878 ". I could see those selling decenly in the states for each EPL team.

 

Just my $.02

Personally I hate them but I have to wear one in work. I do have a few but rather prefer my beanie hats.
