LOL, I didn't vote, you had no option for my opinion. Put it in a closet and pretend it doesn't exist. Or putting to use on October 31st each year, could be another option.! 
He is probably embarassed because you are wearing the hat tilted too far to the side. 
He is probably desiring you to wear it backwards so you can be sure-'nough cool!

All who know me know my middle name is cool, but I'm not sure which is front or back. Maybe I answered my own question. I may have a potential fashion faux pas.

Buy a Ragin' Cajuns jersey and have the name "FUNGO" applied to the upper back in large, block letters. Wear jersey ONLY when wearing a pepper hat.

This particular hat or 'headgear' is properly worn with the green stem being at the top and the point of the pepper resting on the head...it takes some getting used to and requires much flexibility and coordination to really master it and keep it on your noggin for any respectable length of time.
Of course for a mere $9.95 + tax and S&H you can accessorize your 'headgear' with 'Pepper Props'...designed to keep precarious peppers properly in place.
One bit of advice...do not wear this 'headgear' to the theatre or opera unless you're sure you can 'take' the lady sitting behind you who will invariably complain of being allergic to that particular variety of pepper.

I agree. I'm just guessing, but they may have the pepper on it's side to minimize the obstructed view from behind the wearer. I'm thinking a mask would be an appropriate accessory to the hat.

Wear the hat to games, out to dinner with him, and (most assuredly) when visiting his lodgings. It is our solemn duty as parents to give our children as much as possible to tell their therapists when they grow up. A completly normal child and young adulthood offers absolutely no excuses for any unusual personality habits they may develop over time.

Would you...could you ...will you please talk with my HS junior son?
I don't even own one of those pepper hats and I'm not sure I'm going to survive to Grandfatherhood.
I would love to taunt him with a hat like that but that would be the last taunt of my life.
Heaven help us parents with a sense of humor...twisted as it may be!

Orlando,
You think it might give him an edge wearing it while playing PONG?
Wait, do chilly peppers taste just as good in Corona as limes?
Speaking of copyright infringement, do not sing in public while wearing that hat. The Red Hot Chili Peppers will not be amused.
I think you should put it away until his wedding day. Also avoid singing "Red Hot Mama" by George Clinton and Funkadelic for obvious reasons.

Good advice. Thanks. It's a fashion risk in many ways.

After my kid signed his NLI he was wearing the ballcap. A couple of kids asked him if he got a job at Chili's. True story.

Consider this:
It is not only a privilege to wear the hat, it's your obligation.
A. Parents are expected to support their son's endeavors and what better way to express that support. By wearing the hat, you are saying to your son "Team First !!!"
B. Think back on the hundreds of times he embarrassed you in the mall, the grocery store, the restaurant ... getting even is the Joy in having them leave home.

Wear the hat AND a big grin .....

Pretty sure my son would just laugh.
On the other hand my wife would be mortified.

New or used? New ones are at http://www.hatsinthebelfry.com/
I might be able to save you a few bucks if you want to go (very slightly) used.

HHH....Orlando... 
As the kids would say...It's payback baby!
Prental Humiliation...the only method guaranteed to get results from your children
Starting using this method in 5th grade when they first requested that I drop them off two blocks from school to hide me...
and used it through high school..
Any time I wanted really wanted to make a point or motivate them I threatend to stand on the school steps and yell at the top of my lungs whose dad I was...would have worked even better with one of those hats.
