Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has a new favorite thing, and it’s not a play from the team’s playbook. The 27-year-old keeps showing up everywhere in the same black Callaway baseball cap.

Fans first noticed the hat when Herbert went public with his relationship with pop singer Madison Beer over the summer. Since then, the black cap has become his go-to choice for every public appearance.

Herbert and Beer sat courtside at a Lakers game against the Timberwolves last week. He wore the hat. They showed up at Game 3 of the World Series on Monday. Same hat again.

Before dating Beer, Herbert kept his personal life private. He didn’t make many public appearances outside of football. That’s changed now, and so has his fashion approach.
The timing stands out. Herbert started dating Beer, started going out more, and started wearing this one hat to everything. Some fans think it might be his lucky charm. Others wonder if he just really likes how it fits.

Either way, the hat has become part of his look. Whether he’s at a basketball game or a baseball game, the black Callaway cap comes along.
But the hat? That’s become the real story. Fans track each sighting, wondering if he’ll ever switch it up. So far, he hasn’t.
Football Fans Weigh In on the Hat Debate
Social media went wild with theories about Herbert’s hat choice. Some fans defended his decision, while others joked about the whole thing.
One fan called out the story itself. “This is misleading… he has one for each day of the week,” theywrote, suggesting Herbert might own multiple versions of the same hat.
Another person backed Herbert’s choice for practical reasons. “A worn hat feels better than a new one,” theysaid. Anyone who’s broken in a favorite cap knows that’s true.
One commentput it simply: “What dude wears multiple hats besides Cam Newton?” They had a point. Most NFL players aren’t known for rotating through hat collections.
The best response came from a fan whosaw the bigger picture. “Why would you laugh at a professional athlete who’s earnings are north of 100 million USD for wearing a 40 USD hat everywhere he goes? It tells me that he is a humble and grounded individual, who did not let fame and riches get into his head.”
That comment sums up why people actually like this story. Herbert could wear anything he wants. Instead, he picks a simple black hat and wears it until it’s his.
