Whats In a Fitted?

The fitted cap is strong trend in the Hip-Hop fashion that has crossed over and cut into other trends of today's attire. Back in the day the cap used to signify your favorite baseball team, instead nowadays the fitted cap has transcended that and has become a fashion item.
They've become a symbol of where you are from and what you represent in a sense. 90% of the chance you walk down times square in New York City you will see a New York Yankee hat sitting right on top of someones head. Take it to the south and you're guaranteed to see an Atlanta Braves hat tilted to the side. Bring it to the west coast and you'll get the same result; a Los Angeles Dodgers hat.
These hats have gone from representing a team to representing a whole city. Sectionalism is very strong in America and you can see clearly in the many lifestyles found around the different parts of the country. Wearing a hat representing your city is just one of those many differences.
Its present in todays hip-hop music. Watch any music video and you'll see Jay-Z with a Yankee hat, or T.I. with a Braves cap. Music is one way these caps transcended from being sports attire to hip hop fashion attire.
