Claim:
A hat accessory for engaging a bill of a cap, comprising: an arcuate crown slightly greater in length than a width of a bill of a cap, said crown comprising an exposed upperside and an underside, an entire area of said underside contacting a top surface of the cap bill; a pair of retainer edge strips, each said edge strip extending from opposing ends of said crown, each said retainer edge strip removably binding a side edge of the cap bill; a pair of tabs, each said tab extending from each of said edge strips, said tabs being spaced from said crown to form a gap slightly smaller than the thickness of a cap bill for securely gripping a side edge portion of the cap bill, whereby said hat accessory is selectively secured to a cap bill by inserting the cap bill into said hat accessory where said tabs function to securely grip said hat accessory to the cap bill so that the cap may be worn by a user with the hat accessory attached thereto, wherein said hat accessory is a unitary device formed of a semi-rigid material, said hat accessory adapted to cause the cap bill and said crown of said hat accessory to conform to generally the same contour; and at least one means for communicating securely affixed to said exposed upperside of said crown.
