Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted in a KU cap, and fans were thrilled
BuzzFeed probably had no idea its critique of actor Leonardo DiCaprio’s taxi-hailing technique would resonate in the Midwest.
But it wasn’t what DiCaprio was doing, but what he was wearing that excited people:

I love that Leo is sporting a KU hat. Probably preparing for his new role in The Wolf of Mass Street. https://t.co/Wvo7qcouSe

It should be noted that BuzzFeed also has written about the many hats that DiCaprio has worn (and that doesn’t mean, say, actor, director, writer).
One Wichita State fan pointed this out:
For all y'all thinking you're special because Leo wore a KU hat. This was in 2008. Y'all are way behind pic.twitter.com/tuvU4QWhSH

And a famous Kansas State alum offered this alternative to DiCaprio in a KU cap:
I'll see your Leo in a KU hat and raise you one Ed O'Neill in a KSU T-shirt. pic.twitter.com/ED7JCKmu4N
