PE Teacher & Gym Coach Hats

PE teachers are a big teacher sub-tribe with an unmistakable shared vocabulary: pinnies, parachutes, cones, whistles, kickball, dodgeball and the Pacer test. Every adult remembers it, which is why these PE teacher and gym coach hats work as an end-of-year or teacher-appreciation gift. WeAreTeachers describes PE teachers as the fun kids in school, always rounding up others for games or races, and gift roundups for the job are a steady genre. The lines here are the teacher's side of that memory. The gym teacher meme began in September 2018 on r/starterpacks and exploded in August 2019, and the FitnessGram Pacer Test copypasta spread from Vine remixes in January 2016 before landing on r/copypasta, so DODGEBALL IS STILL LEGAL IN MY GYM and the recited Pacer Test sentence are things strangers already know. BuzzFeed's list of gym class memories includes the multicolored parachute, intentionally getting out of dodgeball as fast as possible, and fighting over the good pinnies, which is the vocabulary behind I OWN THE GOOD PINNIES and the PARACHUTE DAY line. PEACE LOVE PHYSICAL EDUCATION echoes a retro hat phrase already sold to the profession. PE TEACHER and GYM TEACHER are the plain badges. This is the gym-class vocabulary, separate from classroom teacher hats and volunteer youth coach hats. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat.
