NewEra AFL hats coming soon - thoughts?

[Stewart2Austin Reborn]

LOL, peer fashion is a beautiful thing. You may win the admiration of your limited group of peers, everyone else thinks otherwise.

Can't argue with a fallacy.

 

[Eshay187]

I would rather hang out with people who wear these hats then listen to a bunch of dickheads whinging about bullshit.

POTY

 

[QuietB]

Awful, but they are aiming for a certain market.

Why do kids leave those stickers on the bill?

Cause Hussein Bolt did

 

[Natho]

Surely these hats aren't $50??

Slightly disappointing, been wanting these for ages then see they still use the normal logos and leave the old vfl style monogram logos behind again. Was really hoping I could replace my White Sox cap with a Richmond one with just a simple RFC monogram instead it's a gigantic freaking R ready for the R is for "derogatory word for disabled person".

Myself in wet weather especially I'm quite fond of a well made cap, but honestly the club caps look ridiculous being worn outside a game by anyone over primary school age. Sadly the R design would still be a massive improvement I mean at least it's not plastered in ads, honestly feel like I should be getting paid to wear most club caps.

To clarify here I own 1 cap, before I even left the store I peeled the stickers off and bent the brim... Still had an annoying co-worker refer to me as "gangster" for wearing a baseball cap. Heaven forbid I'm just a sports fan.

Gotta laugh at some of the reactions from closed minded people who slam anything innovative. Seriously get your heads out of your arses, it's about time we are seeing new designs aimed at a younger demographic. Not everyone is like you old shits and wear those "media caps" (makes me cringe everytime).

That R is frigging massive. Should be about half the size.

It should be one ninth of the size.....

 

[Maddhew]

WOW There a lot of old fuddy duddies on Bigfooty. I can picture them now, sitting at their desktop pc, lowes trackies eating baked beans and posting about how the young whipper snappers with their hats are ruining the world.

current afl hats are terrible

 

[PykeDream]

At least they're not this:

 

[cammo84]

I don't think it's about looking 'authentic' or anything like that. We just want good caps that don't look like we got them in showbags.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

I paid $60 for my Knicks cap :/ so i'll pay $50 for a Blues cap

Where can i buy one.... seriously does anybody know i don't care if you don't like them I like to support my team and its too hot for a beanie in Perth

Exactly. So why is expanding the product range such an issue with some people? (confused face)

Football Adelaide Crows? Lol

I'm not a big fan of these caps (especially the Collingwood ones) but I think this would look alright with the brim curved...

That looks awful.

 

[CrimsonRaven]

If you dont like the gangster style just take the sticker off and curve the brim a bit? FFS its not that ****ing hard.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

That looks awful.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of teams making up monograms just for a hat. Just the magpie from their logo (minus the flags, wreath and 'Collingwood Football Club') would look fine.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

I would wear one if I went to USA or something, not in this country.

That monogram isn't made up. It's the clubs heritage monogram (if that's what there called).

Fair enough; I stand corrected.

 

[zimma]

Exactly, current hats have advertising on both sides and the brim and in general look terrible while costing $35, $50 for a better quality and hopefully better designed cap is well worth it in my opinion.

If you dont like the gangster style just take the sticker off and curve the brim a bit? FFS its not that ******* hard.

My Sox cap is destickered and bent to a fine 90s style curvature, still have some annoying twat at work refer to me as being "gangster"... Really pisses me off more than it should.

That monogram isn't made up. It's the clubs heritage monogram (if that's what there called).

Out of curiosity here does every club well except say newer franchises made from thin air actually have one of these? Really seemed like the more logical choice compared to just a cartoon logo or a gigantic freaking letter R to me.

They will be out soon.

 

[Pie eyed]

They're caps, not hats and shit US sports knock-offs at that.
Beanies FTW.

There can only be one.
