Kyle Shanahan Is Fucking Fed Up That He's Not Allowed To Wear His Famous And Very Cool 'Shanahat' During Games This Season

[Source] - In speaking with KNBR 680's "Murph & Mac" on Wednesday, Shanahan was asked if he plans on wearing the famous hat again this season since retiring it after a disappointing 2020 season. 

"I have such beef with them right now," Shanahan said. "It's a tough issue going on. They won't let me pick out my own [hat]. They won't let me wear any one that's from a [previous] year, so I can't wear like an older one. I've got to wear the new ones that they give this year. Unfortunately, there's none I like wearing. Hopefully, we can figure it out or wait until Salute to Service. ... It's just deals. I don't want to go too hard and get fined or anything but trust me, I'm upset about it."

The "Shanahat" actually was a design that Shanahan created himself with New Era, finally finding a cap that worked well for him on the sidelines after choosing not to wear one throughout his career.

I feel bad for Shanahan here. I really do. Not because he keeps blowing massive leads in the Super Bowl. Not because he has to find a way to get rid of Jimmy G. No. Because do you know how much of a bitch it is to find a new hat? No thank you. The moment you find a hat that fits perfectly and looks good, you don't go get a new hat. And trust me, nothing looks cooler than this hat that he designed himself.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall during that creative meeting. 

'Okay, Kyle. What are you thinking here?'

'Well, we have red in our jerseys. Let's start there. Now take the logo. Smaller. Smaller. Nope, smaller. NAILED IT' 

That'll be $10,000 thank you very much. 

At least that's how I assume it went down. 

I just don't understand all these problems. I get that there are contracts and deals, but it's a hat. No one gives a damn. The only thing people know about what coaches wear is Belichick's hoodie and Harbaugh in khakis. Other than that no one has a goddamn clue. 

Again, this is a hat. You find a hat, you wear that hat every damn day. Same goes for like sunglasses. Some of those things are just impossible to find that fit just right. You treat that like treasure when you find one that fits and looks good. Now Kyle Shanahan has to walk around and look like our guy Dante, hatless. 

Just please don't fine Kyle Shanahan.
