SCM’s Official Entries in Old Dominion’s “#Snapback” Contest
Here at Saving Country Music, if there’s anything we love more than baseball caps with perfectly flat brims being worn backwards at country shows (apparently now called “snapbacks”), it’s a good old fashioned contest. So when a press release arrived at headquarters announcing a “snapback” design contest for pop country group Old Dominion, you’re damn skippy I was game.
“Working with a company like LIDS just makes sense for us,” said Old Dominion’s lead singer Matthew Ramsey in the press release. “Every night we play a song we wrote that has now become a hit and was inspired by seeing so many of our fans wearing Snapbacks. Our fans are LIDS customers and we are excited to partner up and bring them into the Old Dominion family.”
With such enthusiasm and brand synergy, how could you not be excited about this contest? And what could go wrong with an idea by a bunch of marketing geniuses to query the public for their opinions? It worked with Boaty McBoatface, and our current Presidential candidates.
So here’s Saving Country Music’s official entries into Old Dominion’s “Snapback” contest. Wish me luck!

OK–I will post only one Early Cuyler trucker hat saying, and link to the rest. To save the tedium of me doing each one individually. But they all deserve individual attention.

To show you what an old fart/jackass I am, I had to look up “snapback” on Urban Dictionary when this song came out. And I’m okay with that.

I searched for snapback on Google when I first heard it to find out what it meant, and I’m only 24! I guess mentally I’m an old fart/jackass.

I’m 18 and I had no idea what the hell s “Snapback” was! Why am I already an old fart/jackass?

Don’t be worried, fellas. It’s a term of endearment around here. Our friend Mr. Shelton coined it to describe those who enjoy genuine country music.

I love crowd-sourced names! Check out ‘Dub the Dew’ sometime for some of their options!!
I hope there is a link to vote on these somewhere?
My vote: Don’t talk to me unless you have daddy issues.

So that’s what a Snapback is… I assumed it was some form of social media, like Snapchat. I suppose this is slightly less nauseating. Slightly.

I had no idea what a “snapback” even was until they forced my curiosity to Google it.
Initially, I thought of a species of turtle when I heard this word. For some reason, a term applying to a cargo vehicle sprung to mind too. I never would have thought it had anything to do with a ballcap.

Get 4Chan on our side and it could win. They entered, and won, a “Name Our Dew” Mt. Dew competition.

Let me first preface this by saying that there are possibly no two “country” singers in the world who need to f–k start a chainsaw more than Matthew Ramsey of Old Dominion and Chase Rice. I have not seen two bigger douche canoes in the bro country movement. And that INCLUDES FGL, Luke, and Blake.
That being said, I do greatly respect the courage of their convictions. Ramsey’s and Rice’s past interviews and Twitter posts have shown that they are not only the enemy of real, traditional country music, they are proud to carry the flag in its attack on it. I have more respect for a person who a person who genuinely calls himself my enemy than a person who pretends to be my ally.

You seriously don’t know what a SnapBack is?
Snap backs aren’t flat brimmed fitteds.
Snap backs are the hats with the adjustable snaps on the back.
It has zip to do with the brim.
Most snap backs are soft cotton hats and not rigid.
Again, snap back refers to the BACK not the brim. It’s adjustable with snaps.
Stupid song. Stupid trend but at least understand it if you’re going to parody it.

Not only do I seriously not know what a snapback is, I’m peacock proud I don’t know what a snapback is.
