Uh … what in the world are these?
Listen, I’m not a ‘let me speak to the manager’ kind of person … but who approved this? I’d just like to talk to them.
New Era released a new line of hats called Team Describe for select NBA and MLB teams and I hope for everyone’s sake, they stop there.
When you look at the design for both the Sixers and Phillies, it almost seems like a parody of what the actual hat should be. And what stinks even more is the fact other teams actually have some pretty cool looking hats — a favorite of mine being the Toronto Blue Jays.
MLB
On the site alongside the hats, it says, “The Philadelphia 76ers/Phillies Team Describe 59FIFTY Fitted Cap features an embroidered 76ers/Phillies logo at the front panels alongside the Liberty Bell with a Philly cheesesteak embroidered at the rear beside a team color NBA/MLB logo.”
The front of the hat was manageable … it’s the chili-dog looking cheesesteak on the back though that raises some concern.
I promise you, designers of the world, there is more to Philadelphia than just cheesesteaks. And even though there are most certainly fans that will purchase them, the majority are looking at this and wondering … what the heck is this?
If you want to check out the website for them, which apparently has sold out in certain sizes, you can go here for the Phillies and here for Sixers.
