MAGA cap.

i don't wear a hat indoors, period!!

Well, if they’re making food, it’s that or a hairnet

Related question: How hard should we push the centralized brand story?

The “parent” website is little more than a set of links - it has no direct consumer contact.

I’m thinking about putting a history/philosophy/adage company blog there, to parallel the “Family Wall” we have at the plant.

Interesting question. I remember the '84 Olympics in Los Angeles. There was a ton of ads for "Beatrice Foods" with a tag line "We're Beatrice" after showing pictures of brand names from the store shelf that you recognized. I still remember this, not because it was important, but because it irritated me so much. Why should I care who makes Clark Bars? So what if you own La Choy canned vegetables?

Branding is important when it connects to the consumer. Simply telling me that my favorite ice cream is owned by some large conglomerate food company isn't likely to make me happy or interest me. In fact, it might just piss me off, as I think the public generally sees smaller companies as more responsive to their needs, more focused on quality, and more responsible in their operations. Big companies are seen as just being in it for the cash.

For example, Breyer's Ice Cream used to be a premium product until Unilever turned it into frozen dairy dessert shit-in-a-box, and just trades on the name, milking profit out of what used to be a good product, and is now a sub-par pale shadow of it's prior self.

Soylent Inc.

Initech

Paper Street Soap Co.

A) We’re hardly megafood, and It does help that the conglomerates keep screwing up.

B) I didn’t think about the public looking at it. I figured it would be more something curious employees/vendors/wholesale customers might look at.

The fez is very popular, you know.

Sorry, couldn't resist

See if you can find a “Los Pollos Hermanos” hat and tell everyone your name is Gus.

Ok…just kidding. Mostly…

Never wear a hat at work unless outside in the rain. I grew up in the 60's an 70's when hats were not popular and so did not usually wear one until recently.

Now when going out to shop or walk the dogs I wear either my Sig Academy hat or my Legion hat.... but I'm going to show my ignorance here....

what do you mean by a "subsidiary"?

I agree with Artie here, unless you want to test out the fez.

Or I could send you one of these:

Excellent cap, if that one doesn’t hit the spot I could offer some alternatives

Skip the hat, at least indoors.

Not sure where your "Up North" is but here in rural MN, most males wear ball caps. In the summer, on the hiking trails, even the women wear ball caps, at least the younger ones.

On the shop floor, in the manufacturing environment that my company operates, everyone wears a ball cap indoors, even the women.
