How long are you supposed to leave all the newly purchased labels like holographic stickers and stuff on? This especially applies to NY Yankee caps.

since it's yankees, you have to leave the tag on for five years past the items' useful life to show you overpaid and don't care.

If it's a collectors Yankees hat, I never take any tags off. If it's a Yankees hat that I'm going to wear, I strip all the labels off. My son leaves only the holograms on the ones he wears (guess that's the fashion these days) and keeps all the tags on his collectors caps.

We can't bust heads like we used to. But we have our ways. One trick is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for m'shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt. Which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you'd say. Now where was I... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. You couldn't get white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

Only the French, and those Canadians with low enough self esteme to consider themselves French, really care about what others think when it comes to Chapeau's de sport.

But if it's a Yankee cap, then you have to remove the holographic to see if ARod left his number for your wife to call...

98.2% of yankee fans steal. They stole the hats, and are rubbing it in the faces of shop keepers by wearing the tags.

When I was coming up, we hated the stiff straight brims on new caps. We would go to great lengths to bend the brims, even leaving them in a mug for a few days to set the curve in them. Nothing was dorkier than a guy wearing a straight stiff new hat with all the hard edges and stuff. Now this seems to be the trend with the young ones, some even sportin' the Minnie Pearl look, Tags and all. They look like dorks wearing the caps like this, especially if their pants are falling off.
