It sounds like from you guys that it is up after this year but what's next?Nike and New Era will taking over in 2012.The 2011 draft hats and sideline hats might the worst yet.

andrewharrington Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 It's a harder job than it looks. 1. The NFL won't let you make the same (or similar) caps each year, so there's constant reinventing of the wheel/fixing what isn't broken. 2. The NFL generally sees the cap customer as decidedly progressive, which automatically puts the designer in a hole, in my opinion. 3. I don't mind this cap. I like stripes. Something you don't normally see on a cap. 4. No reason to call out the designer for being a novice. If you knew how many meetings and revisions these designs went through, you'd pull your hair out. When you design licensed apparel, you often grow to hate your own work because the final product is always miles away from your original idea.

The "Star Wars" prequels no doubt took a lot of "hard work" and were directed by "non-novice" George Lucas. Doesn't change the fact that they sucked.

phutmasterflex Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 These were the best ones because each cap wasn't part of the same template. Each cap featured the piping of each team's pants on the cap. Wish they'd do something like this instead of using one generic template for each cap. Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColeJ Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 i actually don't hate these at all. and i've hated every sideline cap i've seen in the last decade, i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mings Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Isn't that the sleeve stripes? If so and this is different for every team, I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmac Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I'm not a fan of the alternate colored stitching, but otherwise I don't mind this. I sure hope they do a good job with the stripes for each team. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
