+allncham & fam Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Just curious as to how many of you wear your geocache shirts and hats while on the search. If you do, have you noticed it brings up conversations from passerbys? I have never noticed anyone along the trail wearing a CITO shirt or geo cap or anything else. I did see a car once that had a geocache sticker on the back. I have a GEO sticker on my car which was noticed by some of my employees. This is just idle Sunday night curiosity. Quote Link to comment
+Team GPSaxophone Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 I don't own a geocaching shirt, since there is not one with only the logo available. I don't usually wear hats. Took sun from sky, left world in eternal darkness Quote Link to comment
+CYBret Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 I wear my green Geocaching.com hat pretty much all the time. I was accused yesterday of wearing it because "You probably don't have any hair under it." HA. I've got the thickest, hottest black hair you could imagine. My head bakes in this summer weather without a hat! I don't get too much "Brand recognition" looks from the hat around here, but I do think it helps me blend in when I'm in a park walking around "inspecting stuff." People see a guy in an olive green hat and figure he's got to be doing something important or approved of. Bret "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field.

+leatherman Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 I wear the tee shirts and a hat(sometimes). However I'm so mean looking most people are afraid to say anything even if they recognize the caching gear. POWDER!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
+Mudfrog Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Have a couple of different GeoCaching shirts that i wear while hunting. I wear them alot when we are out doing other things as well. Now that i think about it, there havnt been too many people that have been curious enough to ask what GeoCaching is! Quote Link to comment
+Laserman Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Almost always wear the hat while on the hunt and just out for an afternoon around town. I have met a few area cachers out and about the town because I'm wearing that green hat. They introduced themselves, asked my log in name, and had nice friendly chat with them. This has probably happened three or four times. It's kind of fun having someone recognize the logo and introduce themselves. Very few non-cachers have asked what geocaching is from just seeing the hat. Quote Link to comment
+Green Toad Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I always wear my tan GC.com hat while out hiking, and sometimes around the town. I am yet to meet any other cachers, but look forward to the day. I have noticed in some logs that I have missed other cachers by a mere 30 minutes, though. -stroh -Technology...I have no idea what I would do without my GPSr, my TiVo, or my Computer with a DSL connection. I guess I would spend more time with my wife! Quote Link to comment

Jake - Team A.I. Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 My mother had one of those custom license face plate made for me. It says 'I break for waypoints - Geocaching' One day I was at a Circle-K looking for change to get a drink, when I here a knock at my window. My boss was walking by and saw my license plate and saw the word 'Geocaching'. He thought to himself, 'isn't that the THING that Jake does.' Then he noticed it WAS me. I've been debating whether or not to put an oval sticker in my window. I kinda wish they would make half size oval stickers. ---Jake Quote Link to comment
+trippy1976 Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I wear my gc.com hat on nearly every outing. I do this primariliy because I usually work up a good sweat. I bought the hat just to wreck while geocaching So far... so good Another 100 finds and I might need a replacement. It's not really orange any more Even after washing. -------- trippy1976 - Team KKF2A Assimilating golf balls - one geocache at a time. Quote Link to comment

Tikiroy Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I always wear my green gc.com cap. As I am quite follickly challenged, it is a necessity here in the desert of west Texas....Haven't gotten any comments of yet.... "There's so much comedy on television.

+woodsters Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I got a brand new "2003 International CITO" shirt this past weekend. (Thanks for the shirt BTW! ). I wore it yesterday out shopping. No one asked what it was. I did make mention of someones GC hat this weekend. It was pretty cool. I may need to get one of those. Wish they had a "boony hat" style though....I may just get a Jeep one of those instead... Brian As long as you're going to think anyway, think big. -Donald Trump Quote Link to comment
+wannafly Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I have a tan geocaching hat, and wear it every time as the sun and heat here in central florida is killer. Never been asked what it is - but then again - usually people dont ask when they don't know. Quote Link to comment
+Lone Duck Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 The closest I come to wearing a logo is the Garmin tag on my GPS belt case. I haven't bought any of the GC clothing yet, although I will when I get a round tuit. That Quack Cacher: Lone Duck When you don't know where you're going, every road will take you there.

+RobAGD Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 I just have the Hat Pins in the hats I wear. If they woud have some dark colored shirts with just the Square type color logo I would have a few of those, but I like my tee shirts to be of teh very heavy cotten type. I am a bit picky about what I wear. Oh Yea I have the Geo logo on my Jeep -Robert Quote Link to comment

+Doc-Dean Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 Just purchased a CITO shirt and a Geocaching hat and I plan to wear them next month for International coastal cleanup day at the CITO event I am organizing on Sanibel Island, FL --------------------------------------------------- Free your mind and the rest will follow Quote Link to comment
+Mountain Climber Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I have one of each of the three hats and I always have one of them on. Some times though when I am on the hunt I will wear my Tilly hat. It doses a better job of shading. ~Mountain Climber~ Indiana Admin Quote Link to comment
+StarshipTrooper Posted August 26, 2003 Share Posted August 26, 2003 I wear the geocap whenever I'm caching and a lot of other times too. I haven't had anyone ask about it yet, except one rangecop who stopped by while I was returning from a local cache. He already knew about geocaching, so he figured what I was up to when he saw the hat. As for everyone else who sees the hat and doesn't ask - I guess that speaks to a general *lack* of curiosity in most people. "...clear as mud?" Quote Link to comment
