200110-N-DP001-0071 NORFOLK (Jan. 10, 2020) A photo optimized for Facebook depicts several command ball caps in recognition of National Hat Day on a flag backdrop. The tradition of Sailors wearing covers has been traced to at least 1808, and in the 1970’s, the Navy began allowing service members to wear baseball caps embroidered with their command's logo, thus cementing the tradition in the modern era.
