Another version of the baseball cap is a plastic mesh cap with a foam front imprinted with a company logo. This style of baseball cap is sometimes called a trucker cap or a "gimme cap" because it is given away for free as an advertising pitch.
Wearing a baseball cap with the peak facing in a certain direction may denote membership in a gang. For this reason, some public schools ban baseball caps. The idea of wearing the cap backwards is commonly attributed to catchers in baseball, as when they began using facemasks, they had to turn the cap around to fit the mask on. It can also be found in professional tennis. Another profession associated with the wearing of a baseball cap backwards is that of photographer, notably paparazzi - for the reason that an SLR camera cannot be held vertically to the eye whilst wearing a baseball cap with the peak forwards.
