Trucker hats have been around forever — popular among, well, truckers and really anyone with a passion for John Deere products. But they’ve slowly been making their way into pop culture, as creative companies have started putting funny phrases on trucker hats to make a statement.
The first person to buck this trend was Judah Friedlander, who played Frank in the TV show “30 Rock.” Each episode brought a new hat, reading “Wet Paint” or simply “Why,” and we wish we were the stylist on the show whose task it was to pick out these hilarious statement pieces. For those watching the latest season of “Stranger Things,” you’ll notice Gaten Matarazzo (who plays Dustin) sporting a “Thinking Cap” trucker hat that really adds to the character’s quirkiness. After all, that’s what these caps do — they add a sense of humor to an otherwise mundane outfit.
Do you have a Frank or Dustin in your family? Or are you that person who wants to make subtle yet hilarious fashion statements on the daily? Then, these funny trucker hats are for you.
