The red hats are the modern age swastika. What once was an innocent thing, is now ruined by a group of ignorant racist piece of shit human beings.

I won't even wear a sports hat if their color is red. If someone sees it from the wrong angle it might as well be a maga hat. Hell, red sports hats are too similar even if only viewed from the front with logo in plain sight.

As a cards fan, I really fucking hate magats for ruining red hats. I always have to wear the away or batting practice cap

Fuck yeah, props to the Dads. Hope you all dethrone LA and their bullshit.

The red hats in the article literally come from historical resistance to Nazis:

The "melt the ICE" hat takes inspiration from Norway, according to staff of Needle & Skein yarn shop in St. Louis Park, Minn., who shared the pattern on the popular crafting site Ravelry last month. Minnesota has one of the highest concentrations of residents who claim Norwegian ancestry, according to state demographers.

The red tasselled hat, called a nisselue in Norwegian, was a symbol of patriotism and protest against Nazi occupation during the Second World War.

I'm glad they don't look like MAGA hats, I would never wear a hat that could be mistaken for them.

That could honestly never be mistaken for a maga hat

[–] Soulphite@reddthat.com 13 points 8 hours ago

Thanks for the image. These look nothing like the MAGAzi's caps. I retract my statement in regards to these hats, but it stands to any normal cap/hat of similar color design.

The hats from the article are not the same type of hats though. They resemble the Canadian toque, I suppose, or in Norway, "lue". Similarly we would call the MAGA dome + sun shade kind of hat "caps".

I have a red ball cap in the same Nazi shade of red that I have from when I was a firefighter in the navy. It sucks that I have not been able to wear it for years. I would never want to be lumped in with that group.
