[edit] Hats and caps
A hat (or cap) is a device worn on an individual's head. Typically, a visor or brim extends from the front of the hat so as to protect a person's eyes and head from the elements. They may also be a part of casual wear. Hats may also have a design on the front of it, such as words or an image.
Guinan wore a variety of unique hats. (Star Trek: The Next Generation)
Tom Paris wore a hat to cover the haircuts his father forced him to get every summer. (VOY: "Faces")
[edit] Types of hats
- Earth Starfleet cap
- Cap with a brim in a style worn by baseball players, worn by Earth Starfleet crew in the 22nd century. Captain Jonathan Archer and other officers had such a cap with their ship's registry, NX-01, stitched on the front. (ENT: "Broken Bow") Archer and Trip Tucker wore these caps while crossing the desert terrain on the Torothan homeworld. (ENT: "Desert Crossing") Archer also wore his cap during his venture into Vulcan's Forge to help protect his eyes from the Vulcan sun. (ENT: "The Forge")
- Starfleet officer hat
- Uniform accessory worn by Starfleet officers, like Christopher Pike, in the 23rd century. (TOS: "The Cage")
- Baseball cap
- This design of baseball cap was worn by the Niner's baseball team consisting primarily of the Deep Space 9 senior staff. The cap featured a baseball with the horizontal design of DS9 overlayed on the right-hand side stitching. (DS9: "Take Me Out to the Holosuite")
[edit] Helmets
Helmets are a device made of a material much harder than that of a hat. They are generally worn strictly for protective reasons, although they may also be worn for decoration.
[edit] Types of helmets
- Army helmet
- Several of the Onlies on Miri's planet wore helmets resembling those of United States Army soldiers. (TOS: "Miri")
- Football helmet
- On the planet Earth, players of the sport of football wore protective helmets equipped with facemasks. One of the Onlies on Miri's planet wore a football helmet similar to those worn on Earth in the mid-20th century. (TOS: "Miri")
- Romulan helmets
- Crew members aboard Romulan Romulan Birds-of-Prey during the 2260s wore helmets. Some exceptions include the ship's commanding officer and his centurion. (TOS: "Balance of Terror", "The Enterprise Incident")
- Starfleet security helmet
- Introduced in the 2270s, these helmets were a part of a Starfleet Security officer's uniform due to the sometimes hazardous nature of their work. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture; Star Trek III: The Search for Spock)
