Well I certainly want you to think I'm a real man. Sailor hats are awesome!

No comparison, Lawrence KS is a major sea port. Of course they have sailor hats

I've never heard of the Freshman Cap Coug logo, so somebody is lying to me

Sailor hat or freshman beanie, I still don't like the logo or the other ones you listed.

It’s terrible. It looks like an alley cat that hasn’t had a meal in weeks.

I hate the block Y ugly looks too much like Yale & reminds me of dark times

The 1999-rebrand version is not the block-Y I’m talking about.

From a design standpoint, the inverted oval-Y bothers my eye, so I don't own any

The cap for BYU only goes back to the Nike contract. It deserves to go only

Tarbo

First I saw it, the lines were so bad I thought they had an AD staffer create it

TNT wants to know where he can find such a freshman hat, and where are the fresh
