I guess that's part of 47's aesthetic...it's supposed to look a little worn and faded. But seriously, the Patriots one looks like somone left it out sun for a few months.

Gothamite Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I don't know why they do that. It's certainly possible to use a faded cloth that's more blue, but their navy always looks too gray for me.

Gothamite Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Here's another classic Bears cap:Man, they do fine work. I really hope they bring out a Packers "GB" cap.I'm less enthusiastic about this design, but there must be a market for them. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

WSU151 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Good to see the bear on Chicago hats. Seemed like (I'm not 100% positive) Reebok always settled for the wishbone C.Of what we've seen, I'm really liking the Dolphins, Panthers, Titans and Bears hats. The rest are good, but a little predictable. Good to see Forty Seven sort of move away from navy if they can. Reebok probably would done the Dolphins, Titans, and Bills in navy. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proc Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 Patriots version is underwhelming, looks almost grey.That's the one big problem I have with 47 brand - their "navy" cloth is too gray. I've got several Tigers caps (Twins/'47). I love 'em, but the navy color fades fast. It starts off navy and after some sun it, they turn grey.

Proc Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 I'm curious to see what their version of "Honolulu" Bue will look like for the Lions cap. I bet they use black or grey and the Lions logo in blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chriscj83 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Looks like I'll be buying a Vikings hat for the first time in... wait a minute... Santa Maria! I don't have a Vikings hat! I wonder what they're putting on the back of these caps? I'd assume word marks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Yep.It's a significant change of direction for the NFL, which used to bundle on-field and merchandise contracts with one manufacturer. That's why Lids could carry a hundred different Rockies caps, but only a half-dozen Broncos. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Since there were multiple headwear licensees that could produce product for every team I'm pretty sure you had guys wearing all different officially licensed hat brands, especially if they had an endorsement deal.

Gothamite Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I could well be wrong, but I don't think New Era has an NFL license right now. Not until April 1st. That's why you can't buy an NFL cap from them today.Things are a little strange right now with the stock not being replenished, but if you had gone on Lids.com last year, you would have found eighty different Kansas City Royals caps and five Kansas City Chiefs caps (all Reebok). Mitchell and Ness have a license to produce caps that's wrapped in with their throwback license, but I'm not aware of any other company which was allowed to produce caps. Not until this new contract, that is. Maybe New Era had a similar deal, but if so it drastically cut into their ability to merchandise. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

SCL Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 That Jacksonville hat looks great, reminds me of the old school Jags unis. Teal and gold really look great together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFanBudMan Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 So what is the issue with 47's navy, and why instead of fixing it are they leaning toward alt colors? I always thought the faded/worn look was their thing as I own only a couple throwback Cubs caps from them, but seeing all the other bright colors besides navy here... what gives?
