The original design from third grader little MC No Name is staying despite obvious complaints.

Apparently the more metal they use from their vendor the cheaper the price, hence the 1.5lb ornament on your head.

Good thing 20 years ago our company chief pilot negotiated as MEC Chairman that hats (and accompanying emblem) are optional here despite what we now spews as chief pilot.

You got your hat emblem already? I’m still waiting for mine via USPS.

I don’t because it makes my head/hair look like a mushroom stamp.

I wear the hat because it is a part of the complete uniform. For me, it is also an expression of self dignity when in public view. (oops, i'm not an EDV pilot, but whatever.)

Is the hat hole off center or the center pin of the medallion off center? If it's the medallion you should be able to request a new one from the company. (Though I might wait a month or two so they don't identify you as Mesabah) If it's the hat itself I guess you're out of luck, maybe crew outfitters will help you out.

Regardless wearing the hat is a choice, if you choose not to, no worries.
