Blackhawks Parade and Rally-- Part 5: Dumb Hats and the Stanley Cup

A real neat thuing was seeing such Blackhawk legends as Bobby Hull. Stan Mikita, Dennis Savard and Tony Esposito riding on those buses.

Watching some of the Hawk players getting off the buses, I'd have to say some of them did not know where the bill of their hat should go, but, at least the bills were curved, none of those flat bills like the young folk like to wear now.  I don't like those flat bills at all.  At one time, the curved ones had gone too far and were practically touching each side, they were that curved.  As dumb as that looked, it was nothing like the dumbness shown by the flat bills, especially when they are worn backwards or sideways.  At least the Hawk caps were curved.

Then, the announcers talked about the beating the Stanley Cup takes as it travels the whole world going to the hometowns of the Stanley Cup winners, which, as if you didn't know, would be the Hawks this year.  I call the Stanley Cup the "People's Cup."  The NBA, NFL and MLB championship trophies are essentially the "Millionaires Trophies."  Essentially, if you don't have a million dollars or are connected to the owners, you're not going to see them.  The Stanley Cup is the People's Cup.  Lots of non-millionaires and regular folk get to see and touch it.

POLICE COMMENTS TO PERPS  Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new.  They'll stretch out after you wear them for awhile.
