BRIDGEPORT, Pa. — The Collegiate Water Polo Association/Mid-Atlantic Water Polo Conference/Northeast Water Polo Conference wish every water polo fan, coach, athlete and alumnus a National Hat Day (January 15).
That date commemorates the day in 1797 when the first top hat made its appearance in court.
A few hat facts:
51% wear baseball caps regularly
The most popular style of hat today is the baseball cap. In fact, 51% of hat wearers say they wear this shade provider regularly. Prior to the hat becoming apart of everyday casual use, people would dawn the headgear for practical reasons: laborers and workingmen needed to keep their hair out of their eyes and also, of course, for baseball players. The cap was designed to shade baseball players eyes from the sun.
10% of your body is your head
Remember that old adage about being able to lose 70% of your body heat through your head? Well, unsurprisingly, that’s not true. The head actually only accounts for about 10% of a person’s body area, so it’s quite impossible to lose up to 70% of body heat. However, a 10% cold area is still enough to shiver, so make sure you keep your head warm during the colder seasons with a nice woolen beanie.
26% never wear hats
26% of Americans claim they actually never wear hats.
