Symbolism
Fitted hats differ from their adjustable counterparts in that they are tailored specifically to one head size, making them an attractive choice for fans who wish to show their team spirit and offer support, as well as connect with fellow fans and build a sense of community. In addition, fitted hats can be customized according to personal taste for an additional sense of customization and identity.
