Award Tour 'Haiti Relief' Beanie Hats

These dope pieces are officially sold out but we still wanted to showcase them here on UAAward Tour connected with Good Wood to create custom pins to upgrade a basic knit into a special item and donate all proceeds into relief efforts in Haiti.  The approach was clean and offered a tight color selection of burgundy, olive, navy, and heather gray.  For most that missed out, Award Tour is following through with some tees to continue the support that release this week.  Follow the Award Tour blog for updates on all proceed details.
