Rep Yo Set: The 10 Most Gang-Affiliated Hats in Sports
By David Chang | Jul 20, 2010 | 4:03 pm | Permalink
A recent poll revealed that the Cincinnati Reds are baseball's 16th most popular team—yet their familiar "C" hat remains one of the top-selling fitteds. Why? We can think of a good reason, and it's got nada to do with Dusty Baker, Scott Rolen, and 'nem. Take a good look at the team's colorway: red. BLOOD red. Yup, Cincy's hat has become not only a favorite of "soo-woo" gang-bangers, but also for red-repping rappers like The Game and Lil Wayne. Of course, the Reds hat is only one of many sports caps with extra significance in gang culture. With that, we present to you the 10 most gang-affiliated hats in sports—and remember, be careful what fitted you rock in the hood, cuz!

Its nice to see that in the 21st century there are ignorants idiots still behaving like cavemen protecting 'their territory' like a pack of animals. Thank god the human race doesnt depend on them for survival and advancement. Makes the middle east and africa seemed civilized by comparison. Stay stupid, stay uneducated... youre playing right into the cliche that was built for you.

Right on my friend. Stay stupid, and stay in your own hood too. These chunks of human waste wil just be a fleeting speck of scum in the history of the human race.
