As the OP...I just want to be clear that I couldn't care less how he wears his hat (forwards, backwards, sideways, inside out)...I just thought it a little odd that he would hide that big red bull logo while the camera is in his face...that's prime sponsor exposure time...that's why I asked. I was wondering if they were parting ways, and contractually obligated to wear it on the podium, but didn't have to wear it a certain way.

He likes to wear his hat backwards...fine with me.

If RedBull is fine with him wearing his hat backwards...that's fine with me too.

The other thing RMZ# seems to be overlooking, is the fact that his personal sponsors (being Red Bull, Fox, Oakley, and Stance) like him because of his personality... Which includes not being overly cooperate and some what laid-back. The hat thing is a non issue with Red Bull (they print a logo on the side for these occasions), and when he goes to Honda he will continue to wear a Red Bull only branded hat.
yup the only time this might change is if Red Bull sponsors the Honda team in the future...

You can see the sponsor perfectly forward or backwards

Sorry kid. You don't understand the game. Sponsors pay big $ and you can never get enough sponsor exposure in this sport. One of the reason this sport will never grow is the promoters and sponsors are dealing with ignorant kids that don't get it. Alot like yourself. They are use to the world revolving around them, Honda will fix the hat on backwards king.

The way I look at it is the hat is a tool to promote sponsors not to look cool.

You're the one who doesn't seem to understand; Honda has NO SAY in how Kenny represents his PERSONAL sponsors. They can only control how he reps TEAM sponsors. Every time this stupid subject comes up, you chime in like a bitter old man who thinks the world is going to shit based on the way "these damn kids today" wear their hats.

I think his 1.8 million followers on Instagram helps as well lol.

Him wearing it backwards gets more exposure. This thread is prime example.

Anytime a person attempts to intimidate or sound better/older/more knowledgeable than someone else by calling them things like 'kid' just makes me ignore what they're saying because I can't help but think they are a tool

I don't think you'll be seeing that... Kenny makes more money of Red Bull stays as a personal sponsor and sill has another three years on that contract (if I remember right)... No reason for Red Bull to pay twice for what they're already getting.

Well i was talking to Kenny aerlier and told him of the Vitards concerns regarding having his cap on backwards.

He told me as a dedication to all Vitards he will wear his cap forwards during the post race press interview.

See it on the Vital videos page now.

Will someone PLEASE tell these kids that ears go OUTSIDE of the hat? And could someone show them how to properly shape a brim?
