Paintball & Airsoft Hats

Paintball and airsoft share a field and a rivalry, but they keep score differently. Airsoft hits are honor-based because BBs leave no mark, so players call their own hits; a chapter on the subject is titled "Dude, call your hits!" Paintball hits are visible and leave welts and bruises, which ProPaintball calls "badges of honor," "often worn with a sense of pride by those who step onto the field." Airsoft matches are modelled on first-person-shooter modes such as team deathmatch and capture the flag, and in the community's own slang "tacticool" means "things that look awesome or seem useful but aren't very practical." One forum veteran says serious play is "REALLY expensive," and another that "the welts take a little while to fade." These paintball and airsoft hats are for weekend players, field staff and the parents who drive them. PAINTBALL and AIRSOFT are the badges. The sentence designs cover calling your hits eventually, welts that fade while bragging does not, a gear bill that ends with getting shot, TACTICOOL, the does-it-hurt answer, both sides of the rivalry, a ghillie suit that fools no one and a person who bruises like a peach. PAINTBALL WELTS FADE and the does-it-hurt line each get a second colorway. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat. Wear one to the field, or give one to the player who still shows off last month's welt.
