Trucker Baseball Caps are Fun, Funny and Often Free

Trucker baseball caps, or mesh net hats, were invented as cheap promotional giveaways from cattle feed and farm equipment companies to workers in rural America. In the 1970’s they were worn mainly by truckers because they were cheap and easily available at convenience stores and sometimes given free. This style hat has gone from being very unfashionable in the urban centers to mainstream chic. Now it is just another trendy baseball cap and appreciated by many including Justin Timberlake, Ashton Kutcher and Judah Friedlander.

The Trucker baseball cap usually has foam or plastic front piece and visor with five panels of nylon mesh with a button on top for the rest of the cap. Because of the mesh, this cap is actually comfortable and cool to wear which may be why it became so popular for golfers, tennis players as well as farmers. The front of the hat stands a bit taller than conventional baseball caps because it is stiff plastic. This is the showcase for easy reading of the company logo or snappy quip. To emphasize the logo the cap can be in two colors so the front is brighter.

The idea to give these Trucker baseball caps away was genius. This is a company promotion that will stay around for years because the cap is so useful no one will want to get rid of it. The logo as well as phone numbers and websites of the company can be printed right on the front that will be seen not only by the person who owns the hat but by everyone who sees him. He will be your company’s advertiser. Another great use for the Trucker baseball cap is as a party favor for your employees. It can have your company’s logo or better yet it can say “good team player”. This will make all your employees feel valued by you and, in the long run, they will give their personal best to their jobs. It is also a good hat for a local team or group of people who want to be identified as an organization.

Trucker baseball caps can be ordered by the thousands with any logo or saying printed on the front. They can commemorate an anniversary, the start up of a new charity or a school’s car wash and bake sale. Then they can be sold at a profit to raise funds for the cause.

Since Trucker baseball caps are mainly nylon mesh, polyester and plastic or foam they are easy to keep clean. They can be washed in a washing machine and hung out to dry. They will keep their shape and look just the same, so there is no reason to have a dirty hat. Trucker baseball caps come in all colors and combination of colors and prints suitable for ladies and men, trendy or practical including camouflage in several colors. This is a good hat to add to your collection because it can be worn anywhere and will look good.
