Well, it's not like I can't see where old players that care are coming from. They played during the time when the hat was originally sold and they want to have the bragging rights of having that hat as opposed to the newer players not having it.

Of course it all comes down to:

a) How much you actually give a f*** about pixels, which varies person to person, which is all opinion, and to each his/her own.
b) How old or new a player you are.
c) How good or bad the hat looks, opinion again, however I think some of the newer hats are a tab bit on the garbage side.
