Brandon Phillips in a White Sox hat?

Why would a member of the Reds be wearing another team's hat?

Check it out here.

Re: Brandon Phillips in a White Sox hat?

Because for some people, hats are a fashion accessory, and are used accordingly. A lot of people think of hats as no different than a properly colored belt or shoes. Is it a bit weirder since he's a professional athlete? Maybe...but I dont have a problem with it.

Would you be ok if a Reds player wore a Cardinals hat to and from Reds games?

maybe it's a way to hide his identity somewhat while he is out in public.

Maybe it's his favorite American League team?

Who cares?

Well, if he were wearing a hat to match his outfit, a Reds hat would also work in that scenario.......

Quit being logical. No room for that in here.

I don't like it. Go play for them if you want to wear their gear.
