I am 69 years old my thought on this is I think after a certain age say 50 you are too old to wear your cap backwards. It's for the younger guys just my opinion
Baseball cap front or backwards

I lived and worked in a lot of full-on sunshine. Most all companies I worked for required we wear their branded Hats.
My skin doctor is still carving the evidence off well into my retirement.
Do your futureself a favor and forget baseball caps! Save your ears and neck,,,,,,,Always use full brimmed hats.

Personal opinion only. The only time you should wear a baseball cap backwards is if you are the team catcher. I was under the impression the bill was there to keep the sun out of your eyes , not to make a "fashion/political" statement
Welders wear their caps backwards. It keeps sparks off the back of their neck and allows the welding helmet to close properly.

I see motorcyclists doing it , so it doesn't blow off . I always think it portrays a message of "look at me, I am a bad a ## " . Or a gang member .

My understanding is that the bill straight to the front or back indicates no gang affiliation; the bill tilted to the side, indicates a gang affiliation. At least, among 'urban utes.' I have recently begun wearing my cap with the bill to the rear when working on some projects. It keeps me from having to pick it up off the ground after I knock it off.

And an Aggie, to boot!
So many decisions . . .
Front or back?
Flat or stylishly rolled? (How much roll?)
Emblem on front? What kind? NRA maybe?
Camo? Service branch?
Adjustable for size or specific size?
Solid cap or mesh back?

I don't wear hats too much anymore, but when I do wear a baseball cap, it's always the bill to the front and a stylish curve to the bill. I picked it up a long time ago when I played baseball. Only time it ever goes to the back is if there's some reason for it to get out of the way of the work I'm doing.
The one thing that bothers me is when people buy hats and then leave all of the stickers on the bill and tag hanging off the back. I guess just so you'll know it's new or something. I've never figured that out.

^^^ Like Minnie Pearl? LOL
When I'm driving my roadster I wear it bill in back otherwise I'll be stopping to pick it up off the road. Once I reach my destination I put it on the correct way.
There is one better/dumber than this, the guy has the cap backward, & his sunglasses on the back as well, & using his hand t shade the sun.Doh!!!!

Otherwise, if ya need to shield the back of your neck when welding, or ya plan on motorboating in a shoe bar.
At what "age" do you quit wearing it backward? When you no longer want to look goofy.
Exceptions? Baseball catchers or umpires is about all I can think of. It never worked for me on a motorcycle.
I've NEVER (to my fading memory anyway) worn a 'ball' (AKA seed corn for the obvious advertising often seen on them)cap backward except when using a welding helmet. Haven't done that since I found more comfortable headbands for the helmets.
