Don’t expect me to cosign the wreck that is the new G.I.JOE movie. I’m an old school fan boy. Certain things just don’t mix. For this post we’re taking a closer look at NEW ERA’s capsule collection of GIJOE based 59Fifty fitted caps. Fortunately for us, they stuck to the classic 80’s animated/comic book JOE version. (RIP Chris Latta) Two of the four styles make great use of original MARVEL COMICS artwork. The technique of dye sublimation makes the details pop. NEW ERA has used this before with HULK, THOR and FANTASTIC 4 drops, but this is a personal favorite. Those up on their game will spot the Serpentor cameo in the group. Cobra clearly has the advantage, 3 to 1 for this release. Great license, great execution. We’re betting that future JOE caps will be on their way to shelves soon. Where’s our Navy and Red Cobra Commander cap and Tonal Black Black Snake Eyes? More detailed images after the jump.

Coogi Exclusive Royalty Hat is the brand’s first attempt at limited edition, luxury baseball hat. While their first at bat is no strike out, its clearly not a grand slam either. One obvious point is the swagger jacked copied packaging from New Era’s “Capture the Flag” program. We’ll play nice and call that flattery. [cough] Black and Gold is a classy color combination, and Metallic Gold only ups the ante. Unfortunately, oversized placement of the COOGI text on the front panels clashes with intricate linear details. The end result feels like an obnoxious billboard on your head. We say that to say this, the overall design would have benefited greatly if they did not take such a heavy handed approach to branding it. With this much going on visually there needs to be some nice negative space to keep your eyes from working overtime. File under “Doing too much.”
Step your game up!

Ressurecting itself from (some of) our collective childhoods, TRIPLE F.A.T. GOOSE has reintroduced itself after a 15 year absence. Debuting in 1987, the brand made their name pushing their high quality goose down filled jackets. Here’s a little trivia; F.A.T. is an acroymn For Arctic Temperatures. If you were active in the 80’s you might have envied, owned, or stole one of these. The reboot of TGF now includes a Men’s, Women’s and TGF Originals line. Of course fitted baseball caps are in there. The TRIPLE F.A.T. GOOSE Flap cap shown here is their version of the ubiquitous dogear cap. Sadly, we were underwhelmed.

For some this might be a tad bit late, but you can’t do a best of ‘08 list until the year finally is over, right?! In 2008 cap collectors were blessed (or cursed) with a saturated market. Competition often brings out the best (and often the beast) in people and companies. In the end the consumer wins when the industry is forced to be more savvy and creative.
Truth be told, we could have submitted 10 separate lists for Best Of 2008. There are at two shops that come to mind that could have easily filled 10 spots just in custom color ways. Its a difficult job trying to narrow down the ocean of product that was available in one year to just 10 selections. In the end, we decided on selection criteria based on this year’s buzz word - Change. This is “A” list of our top 10 picks of fitted caps that took it beyond the expected, visually and conceptually. These selections were not alone. ’08 had many creative minds producing hot designs. For those we are about to offend, there’s always next year.

These are probably a familiar sight to caddies and car Mechanics. These plastic inserts are safety devices made to provide some protection while wearing your favorite ball cap. The liners are notched specifically for use with ::shudder:: snapback caps, but we see no reason these can’t be use for fitted caps. There are multiple versions available on the market.
US Patent 5289591, filed in 1991 is listed as hard ball golf hat. To summarise the legalise of it: A protective plastic insert is provided for a conventional golf cap. The shape and hardness of the plastic protect the wearer against the impact of a stray golf ball.
We’ve had our share of knocks from misjudging distances and the occasional head butt. Not that we’re suggesting you slip one of these liners and play stunt crash dummy, but it might spare you some stitches and/or knots while out on the green getting your Tiger Woods on. You might consider this an early Christmas-Hanukkah-Kwanzaa-Festivus gift for that accident prone cousin of yours. Pictured here is a liner made by brand Vulcan, available at TUFF RHINO.
UPPER PLAYGROUND in association with 24SF GALLERY introduces three NEW ERA 59Fifty fitted caps from their pool of artistic talent.
