flatbill

Uncurved visor cap

A flatbill is a baseball-style cap with a flat, uncurved brim—unlike traditional caps where the bill is bent into a curve.

Popular in hip-hop culture and streetwear since the 2000s, flatbills are often worn with stickers left on the brim: He showed up in a flatbill with the tags still on.

The term also refers to various birds with flattened beaks.
