The once pervasive peaked schoo; caps that are still worn are generally solid colored caps, often with the school badge. This is sometimes an embroidered badge sewn on, but a few schools has pin on metal dadges. Usually the cap is done in the same color as the school blazer. Some schools had both blazers and suits, but usually the cap matched the blazer rather than the suit. We notice many different colors of caps. Earlier when caps were much more common, there was a much greater variety of caps. Some of these different styles survived into the 1980s. Many school caps had the crown of the cap done in colored wedges. Some times the wedges were done in different colors. Others just had the wedges outfined in colored piping. Other caps were done in concentric cirrcles. Schools also might have embroidered or metal badges. To a minor degree caps survived in games, especially cricket. School colors might be awarded as a cap.
