Waffles Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I stumbled on these two styles of NBA hats made by '47 Brand, most of which have logos I hadn't seen before (and don't seem to appear on most teams' pages on the mothership): https://www.lids.com/47-brand/style_nba-mash-up-47-mvp-cap?page=1 https://www.lids.com/47-brand/style_nba-mash-up-47-clean-up-cap I'm wondering where these logos came from - the league, the teams, the manufacturer? Are they non-canonical? Some of them I kind of like, and they all seem to at least be executed well and with an understanding of the team's overall branding.

kimball Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 They look like they're from the manufacturer. I think I've seen caps like this before?

They look to be '47's take on a sort of "ligature" series (and seemingly a homage to the New Era and Nike ligature lines of 15-20 years ago). Not bad. The NFL and New Era had some decent logos in the 90s; Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Those are awesome. I ordered a Hawks hat the second I clicked on the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Sixers one is pretty nice, with the "P" obviously standing for "Process". I'd rather it be darker if I was ever going to wear it, though I only wear hats when exercising so it doesn't really matter. If it was flex fit I'd probably get it.

DTConcepts Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Those are some sweet logos. If the teams were smart, they'd pick some of 'em up. "You ain't gonna learn what you don't wanna know..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Most of these are pretty good, but I have no idea how they came up with the one for the Clippers. It matches nothing in our entire identity. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Lankford Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 These are mostly great but the Bulls hat looks like some Cronenbergian creature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnice Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Speaking of NBA hats I saw some hats with the shorts design on the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigers6884 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Seeing the Nets hat made me think of the 1941-42 Brooklyn Americans (NHL) jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubby34 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 These hats remind me of when Starter?made alternate logos for their NFL hats and 2004’s Nike made MLB caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaha32 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 A lot of these would make for nice secondary logos, except for the Magic's which looks like a 'C' rather than an 'O'. Atlanta, Portland, and that Golden State W are my personal favorites. DesignsByHahn.com Behance Dribbble Instragram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffles Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 Not to be outdone, New Era now has their own collection of hats with alternate logos of their own creation. https://www.lids.com/search/NBA Combo Logo 47's are pretty clearly better across the board.

tigerslionspistonshabs Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Wish the Pistons one wasn't a hot pile of trash, but just like everything Pistons related lately- namely the team itself- ofcourse, it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
