Mitchell and Ness over saturated the market, I see year old M & N snaps going for about ten bucks, they made too many styles and too many of each hat.

Seems like you young bols are going to 5 panels, I'm a 24 year old G though so I think I'm going back to fitteds, as much as possible anyway, fucking New Era and their custom account owners are still dropping a lot of heat in snaps only, wiggidy wack.

I wear snapbacks but not those colorful team M&N shit, just plain black or navy snapbacks.

Still fitteds>snapbacks

lol you think hats will die? maybe m&n but snapbacks/fitteds will not die. and camps dont seem to be fading out any time soon. i thought they were fading out this summer but they seem so typical nowadays. they may die out in a couple years but snaps and fitteds, no

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I've been wondering same thing. I go around to a lot of local skate shops and ask them what they think is going on with it. they kept telling me 5 panels were coming on big..i just cant see people wearing them en masse. 

noticed lately strapbacks have been coming on strong especially in urban areas. i can't really see skate kids adopting strapback though? what do you guys think

I can see snapbacks getting less popular with the masses pretty soon. More and more places are pushing 5 panels, guess they just fit better

whaleboy i have to agree with marvelpreme i never even tried one on honestly, it just reminds me of a train conductors hat definitely not my style. i just have a hard time trying to figure out the next hot trend. don't think 5panels will ever touch baseball hat market share.

i saw that mitchell&ness is doing a strapback that tucks in kinda so it's not hanging out there like jayz and kanye's python straps. i could see something like that trending

Are you serious? 

No offense, but years ago it was all about fitted's and now a lot of stores do not even carry them anymore, I expect the same eventually to happen with the snapback.

When it comes to hats, at any given time there only seems to be one popular style which dominates for a few years before becoming obsolete.

Lol I hope I don't look like a train conductor! Yeah it does all come and go I agree. Everyone suits and fits different hats so we should all figure out what's best for us not what's in fashion smile

I'm not a huge fan of the typical 6 panel construction of hats I like the 5 panel snaps like old starters

i have 4 snapbacks and i never really liked snapbacks but i wore them before they were in heavy demand. back when they used to be 3 for 10 at my local mall.

fitteds were always my favorite and still are used to have over 30 coolcool
but eventually my mom sold them all.

i still have a couple close ones thou. as far as camps i like them they dont look stupid on me so im cool with them.
