RedSox44 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I was always partial to the 2009 Reebok hat design myself.I liked the flat-brim version better.http://www.footballfanatics.com/NFL_Chicago_Bears/Reebok_Chicago_Bears_Orange-Navy_Blue_Gradiated_Fitted_Hathttp://www.footballfanatics.com/NFL_New_York_Giants/Reebok_New_York_Giants_Red-Royal_Blue_Gradiated_Fitted_Hathttp://www.footballfanatics.com/NFL_Minnesota_Vikings/Reebok_Minnesota_Vikings_Gold-Purple_Gradiated_Fitted_HatThose always looked like the tops were wet or something. Really turned me off onto those.I like the pixelated fade on that Packers brim rather than the gradient from the button.Yeah, the curved-bill 2009s were much better IMO.

Cujo Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Still have my Jets '04 Draft hat, but in pretty poor condition. By far, it was my favorite hat design of the Reebok era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we not supposed to be creative? Or am I reading that wrong...I think what he's saying is that the '04 caps were the best only because they were ripped off from someone else, like Reebok can't come up with good designs on its own.Anyway, I forgot about the 2004 draft cap. I'd like to find a Patriots one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyAnna Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Both the 2003 and 2004 NFL Draft Day caps look great on guys. It was 2005 that Reebok starting going downhill with the fitted trucker cap (you never do that) and then Reebok completely went to with the 2010 caps that looked like something a blind man designed.

My Chicago Bulls one is in perfect condition, but my Dallas Cowboys (in original blue and the "fashion" black and "fashion" white) caps are all terribly worn out.They are my favorite caps outside of MLB 5950s, but because barely any of my fitteds fit for long if you actually wear them, I've got a bunch of useless hats and converted back to snapbacks and velcro. (I don't wear caps for fashion reasons, I actually get some use out of them, wear them to games, etc. And prefer that they last. As people have stated above, sometimes finding a simple hat is hard.) So I was thrilled to see them make a comeback and I replaced a few. That 2004 draft cap never really took off it seems, but now Mitchell & Ness and adidas and Nike and more all have an SS ripoff, some more accurate than others. I still love the original two-color -- one for the script and one for the cap.What ever happened to Sports Specialties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lahaye7 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I was just browsing for them on Ebay. These Sports Specialities caps are ridiculously popular and priced. How did that happen? Why are they so damn popular? I loved them, fit much better than 5950's. I still have a 1986 red sox fitted one (bought it the day after Clemens struck out 20 Mariners) I am sore,wounded, but not slainI will lay down and bleed a whileAnd then rise up to fight again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we not supposed to be creative? Or am I reading that wrong...you're reading it wrong...my point being that all of the original reebok hat designs during their nfl contract were terrible and reeked of bad nascar hat styles...I then pointed out that the most liked reebok designs on this board were reproductions of classic hat designs from sports specialties, starter etc....hell reebok even reproduced the logo athletic shark tooth hat which was better than anything they created.

I still have a 1986 red sox fitted one (bought it the day after Clemens struck out 20 Mariners)Snapbacks in general are back in style, and the Sports Specialties script ones are iconic, probably due to NWA rocking the LA Kings version.
