The "Bear" was an outspoken critic who also taught our generation a very important lesson on the ethical wearing of a cap. During my parents generation as well as for Coach Bryant, the boys and girls as well as the men and women, were taught to wear their cap or hat when outdoors.
Did the Bear ever wear a Red Cap? Not as a rule but he often wore a white baseball cap with the Red Alabama A on it.
Here is the ethical lesson. Bear told us all, "Mama would not allow the wearing of his cap or hat while inside the house or any building."
The "Bear" took this teaching and lesson to heart and without fail to his Mama's teaching of this principle. "Bear" Bryant would not even wear his hat when The University was playing a game inside a domed stadium.
All of my generation was taught this same ethical rule; however, "The Bear" was revered for not only his relating of this action but by the example he set by reinforcing this ethical idea.
My dad all his life also wore a hat when outdoors; however, when he opened a door to go inside the house that hat came off. I learned from my dad another ethical principle relating to the cap or hat.

My dad taught me, "When a gentleman by chance would come into the presence of a lady, he should by proper etiquette, protocol and conduct, tip or doff his hat or cap." If he stayed in the presence of a lady for conversation he was to remove his cap or hat.
This simple act of tipping or doffing ones cap or hat is the showing of respect and appreciation toward the other person.
This doffing of one cap or hat is even taken one step further in the realm of chivalry when a Knight in armor in Medieval days would meet another Knight to show respect he would dip his lance which is the same as the artful ethics of doffing ones hat.

Someone once started a rumor, "No one size fits all." Baseball cap makers did not have to be hit over the head with an ugly stick to understand and to conclude this was a truism.
Most of the baseball caps on the market today are constructed with an adjustable strap which confirmed that something was needed to overcome the, "No one size was a perfect fit."
The professional baseball teams tenaciously stick with the custom fitted caps. No adjustable strap for the boys of the Big Show. The team logo on a cap is a signature statement and symbol of pride for the professional baseball teams.
Before the use of a batting helmet became a requirement for hitters the cap was required. A batter was not allowed in the batters box without his cap on.
You could almost conclude that every baseball player chewed spitting tobacco. That wad of chew in the puffed up cheek of most would almost lead you to believe all had that chew. Some players stayed with the simple several pieces of double bubble, bubble gum or a full pack of juicy fruit or double mint.
One Hall of Fame player, the name skips me right now but I believe if I remember correctly, it was Eddie Collins. Collins when coming to the plate would take his wad of bubble gum and stick it to the button on the top of his cap. Caps had a button on top where all the stitching came to a point at the top of the cap.
Eddie simply did not want to forget his chew and swallow hard when a high and tight fast ball careened close to his noggin. One thing for sure he wanted to save that chew so onto the cap button it went.
The baseball cap industry would surely out produce the sock makers if only we had two noggins. People of the world have a burning penchant to be part of and to belong in a group. The symbolic wearing of a baseball cap with a team logo provides subliminally this yearning to belong.
As the baseball cap with its team colors and logo grew in popularity the cap set the stage for ever increasing demands for more and more marketable products. The ever growing demand now sees the public appeal for sporting jerseys and shirts racing on like wild fire throughout the sports world.
The genie is now out of the bottle. Every product associated with team sports exploded with the baseball cap leading the way. The cap came off the bottle.

I wonder if a thinking cap is anything like a baseball cap? All I really know about a thinking cap is it has so often been referred to me while I was in school. Teachers in fits of expiration would outwardly scold kids of the classroom for being a dunce. A teacher would exclaim, "Think, put on your thinking cap."
Now that time and some wisdom have served me well, I think I know what the teacher wanted from her students. It was more of take off the lid and let your mind explore and be filled with thoughts other than daydreaming about recess time.
