Why does Chance The Rapper wear a hat with No 3 on the front?
You’re most likely familiar with Chance the Rapper for his incredible music, the enormous amount of philanthropic work he’s done (especially for Chicago), and, most importantly, his signature hat, which simply dons a number 3 on the front.
The rapper has worn his “3” hat for several years at this point, and if you weren’t a fan from his early days, you probably don’t know that it wasn’t part of his signature style until recently. Though Chance did not don his signature No 3 hat right from the beginning of his career, he came across it over the course of his career – which we will take you through in this article.
At the beginning of his career, Chance was all about repping his home team with a Chicago White Sox hat. Apparently, at one point, Chance had even considered coming up with some Chicago White Sox redesigns for their merchandise. However, he didn’t end up doing anything with that idea. In fact, Chance ended up getting caught up with working on his next project, which ultimately led to his “3” obsession. There are even some (very rare) photos of Chance not wearing a hat!
So what is the “3” symbol on his hat all about?
The “3” hat seems ambiguous, but it makes total sense when you think about it.
According to High Snobiety, Chance wanted to create a new hat for his 2016 mixtape, “Coloring Book.” Initially, he had some trouble deciding on the best typography, and the original title for the album was going to be “The Magnificent Coloring Book,” which would have been quite long, especially on the front of a hat.
After mulling it over, Chance came up with an idea. The 2016 masterpiece, “Coloring Book,” was going to be his third-ever mixtape. So, instead of attempting to put all of the copy on a small baseball cap, he thought it would be more concise — and just as logical — to simply put a “3” on the hat, and make it available in a variety of different colors.
