T-SHIRT TUESDAY X PRODUCT ETCETERA

Check out this Westside Love design from Product Etcetera. Ever since Tupac came out with California Love in 1996, people have taken a lot of pride in the West Coast.

The people over at Strictly Fitteds turned me on to their fitted hat, but I also found their tees to be sharp as hell as well.



I love how the twisted fingers turn into a heart. How did we never see this?

They call this design "Unrest."


Here's that fitted hat.



Product Etcetera comes to us from San Diego. They have some more incredible designs as well, so please check them out when you get a chance, "cuz you and I know it's the best side..."

FITTED FRIDAY x AIR MAX 95 NEONS x CRANIUM FITTEDS

I know it's not Friday, but I really wanted to put up this post. Hop in your Delorean, go back to Friday and read below.



I love the colorways from the old Nike Air Max 95 Neons. A lot of hat companies have jumped on the neon and grey bandwagon and the results are simply amazing.

They remind a little of those old Michael Chang Reebok Pumps. I think I just love the color of tennis balls.

The boys over at Cranium Fitteds have all these hats and more so please check them out when you get a chance.



OG right here. I love the Olive Garden. Fuck all the Olive Garden Haters out there!!



Besides the Air Max 95 Neon colors, I also saw two hat designs that had me thinking about Olde Ivory and their nautical theme. Olde Ivory is a clothing company operating out of Hawaii. They just released some incredible t-shirts so check them out and support their cause.





Cranium Fitteds carries all these hats and they also have an awesome collection of streetwear to look at too. But please, take the sticker off that hat!!

New Era Myrtle Beach Pelican Hat

Pelicans are great.

Check out my previous post about a pelican I met one afternoon at a burger place in Sunset Beach named Harry's Grill.



This hat is for a minor league baseball team named the Myrtle Beach Pelicans. The hat has a classy logo and great colors. And for them to be playing out of Myrtle Beach, that's a real nice fit.



Pick it up at Lids.

SANTASTIC!

We all descended from the same cavemen.



That's my interpretation of this hat from Santa Ionue 's brand SANTASTIC.




I also saw the above advertisement for an upcoming line on their website. No idea what it says, but it looks heavenly. It looks like a collaboration between the music group GUY and SANTASTIC. Hats, Tees, and Polos. WOW!



Style is so sick. Cutting edge.



Beautiful.

HAIKU
Santastic.
Clean. Sharp like shark's teeth.
Simple eyes.

The Hundreds Spring Collection...

The Hundreds always have some of the hottest streetwear out in my opinion. Just this past week they gave people a sneak peek of what to expect for their Spring 2010 line.



These hats got that old school 1990s feel. Nice. It's all circular.



Hang Loose in some meshie mesh. And I love that white braided rope near the bill there. A nice touch.



Keep reading the Hundreds blog and checking out their store for release dates.

808 ALL DAY x New Era x CoLab = Area Code Hats

I love all things Hawaiian. The thing that makes this hat special to me is the graphic on the back. This 808 ALL DAY x New Era Hat is being released through 180 Board Shop out of Maui. This item is very limited so act soon. 808 ALL DAY has a lot of cool stuff with a fun message. Buy it up today!





Also being released through Zephyr for CoLab Boutiques is a 303 Area Code Colorado collaboration in some nice color schemes. These hats have a beautiful silloheutte of the Denver skyline. Two words. Stunning and amazing. Pick up the Denver hats at their Facebook page here or try through here if you don't have Facebook. The 303 and the 808 are definitely on the map...

Rock n Jock Fitted Hats...

Do you love hats? These guys over at Rock n Jocks are fucking wild about hats. They mix up all the colors and logos and design some crazy ass hats. They released these three hats in September of 2009. Supplies are limited so if interested act fast.



Tim Tebow is the man. This Florida Marlins hat in the Florida Gators colors is so disgusting I threw up all over my keyboard when I saw it. Very nice.



Now we are looking at the Florida Marlins mixed with the Miami Hurricanes. I love the U. So many incredible football players out of there. I loved their bravado.

I also almost forgot to mention how classy that marlin looks on both of these hats. One time I saw that marlin out on the town cruising around in a sharp ass suit with a monocle on. He was riding in the back of a limo...not an SUV limo, more like a Lincoln Continental limo.



This is the Quebec Nordiques. A defunct NHL team. Pink and dark green? I hate it so much that I have turned my insides around and now I like it again.

Rock n Jocks is always dropping hot hats so please check out their blog frequently. Have a hat-tastic day!!

Proud to be an American...

Major League Baseball teams who play on National holidays like Memorial Day or 4th of July wear special hats on those special occasions. A portion of the proceeds that New Era receives go to Welcome Back Veterans.org, a foundation to help out returning military soldiers.

There are only two versions of these hats, the red in 2009 and the blue in 2008. These are some of my favorite combinations...


The Dodgers are Vin Scully, Tommy Lasorda, Fernando-mania, Kirk Gibson and of course Farmer John's Dodger Dogs.... I mean the Dodgers are classic. And I didn't even mention Jackie Robinson, although he never played in LA.


Yankees = America. All the greats have played here.


What about the Capital, Washington DC? These are the Senators, and yes, that's a baseball team now, and yes, they suck.


This cap gives you an idea of what the inside of the letter looks like. I'm personally not crazy about this Rangers hat, but I did want to see what the stars & stripes design looked like a little bit better.


There is just something I like about that Royals lettering. The team is eternally sorry, but that KC is nice. Maybe it's just a reminder of the Bo Jackson days, I'm not sure, but I like it.


What about the Canadians? They can participate in the fun as well...

Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim hats...

The Angels are my local team. I grew up right down the street from Anaheim Stadium and have seen them through their best and worst seasons. This post has nothing to do with their ability on the field... it has to do with how their hat looked.

The Angels have had basically five different hat designs. Let me know if you disagree with the rankings.


#5. This piece of shit right here. This hat came about when Disney bought the team. Disney can do a lot of things great, but running a baseball team isn't one of them. These were the dark days of being an Angels fan. They looked so bad that they had to play bad. It wouldn't have made sense for them to play good when sporting these caps.


#4. When I saw this hat I started to get worried about their name slowly changing. The Big A that I was raised on could have either stood for Anaheim or Angels. So when they threw that C in there I was concerned about them moving or changing their name. Looks like I was right.


#3. Small a style. Cute little halo tilted to the front. This is like an elementary school design. Some Tee Ball maybe or Little League. The big boys wear capital letters. I love that two-tone blue cap with the red bill.


#2. The new school. We recaptured some of the glory of the greatest hat, but that red is kind of bright for me. It's a bright red, not a blood red. I love that Big A on there. It's our landmark, love it or hate it.


#1. The best one of all. It has all the elements I like. The capital A. The two tone hat with the red and the blue. For some reason it immediately reminds me of Wally Joyner. Take a nice long look at it and tell me I'm wrong. Sorry I couldn't find a better picture, but this is going to have to do... Which is your favorite?

New Era 59FIFTY NHL hats....

Most of the posts on here have to do with baseball or football teams, but don't think that I have slept on some of those classic NHL hockey logos. Some of these teams no longer exist, but their logos will never die.

I also like the colors for some of these older 1980's teams. The teams today rarely have the beautiful color schemes that they used to have back in the day.

First up, the classic... Hartford Whalers. This is the hat that motivated me to do this post. This simple logo brings a smile to my face. I realize that some people might say blue and green don't really match too well, but I don't give a shit, the hat looks nice to me...






If you know anything about hockey then you know that the Edmonton Oilers were the best franchise in all of hockey in the 1980s. Somehow they not only landed the great one, Wayne Gretzky, but they also acquired a boatload of more Hall of Famers. The team's ability has nothing to do with their logo, I just think that this blue and orange is nice and you can't go wrong with a team that has a few Stanley Cups in their back pocket...





Minnesota North Stars...the eternally classic green and yellow. If you are ever lost in the wilderness, look for the the brightest star in the sky. Start walking that direction. It will take you to the North Star in the Alpha Centauri galaxy...





Last up, Buffalo Sabres. I almost skipped this one, but the fact that the Buffalo has those red eyes... I had to throw it in. I like that shade of blue that they use. A simple classic logo. I would buy a hamburger from this franchise if they were available.





Check out the full collection of the New Era 59FIFTY NHL TM hats here....

Baseball hats with the football colors...

This is a new collection of hats put out by New Era. These 59Fifty MLB FB Twisted hats feature baseball team logos with the football team's colors.

Incredible idea... first up is the Tampa Bay Rays twisted with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This is nice because it has that creamsicle color scheme that you either love or hate...








What do you think of this Minnesota Twins with the Minnesota Vikings? Are you getting it now?





This Detroit Tigers and Lions mashup is nice, too....





Philadelphia Eagles and Phillies....





Check out the rest of the collection here. I wish these hats were around when I was a kid when I had that disposable income to throw around... Enjoy.
