Does anyone else find it paradoxical that pro football is awash in baseball caps? NFL fans buy baseball caps featuring the logos of their favorite teams. NFL coaches wear baseball caps during practices and press conferences. And one of the league's most enduring clichés is that the backup quarterback stands on the sideline, holding a clipboard and wearing a baseball cap.
But why should a football league be promoting itself with baseball caps? What the NFL needs is its own a distinctive form of headwear. Something more football-y. Something the league can call its own.
