Undefeated 1919 New Era Fitted Caps @ In4mation
The In4mation Ward spot has just stocked up on Undefeated's new 1919 New Era fitted caps from their Spring 2009 collection. UNDFTD brings in the vintage look with Gothic U ligatures embroidered on pinstripe 2-tone and straight, solid black or red caps. Both styles feature the UNDFTD logo over 1919 embroidered on the backs. These caps are now available through the In4mation Ward spot and hopefully on their new online shop. 
Adidas NBA Updated Team Fitted Caps
Adidas NBA updates their standard fitted cap collection for the Atlanta Hawks, New Orleans Hornets, Minnesota Timberwolves, and the newly formed Oklahoma City Thunder. All teams besides the Thunder have added a secondary logo or updated their primary mark. For those who don't remember, Clay Bennett (team owner) did Seattle wrong by moving the franchise to Oklahoma City and renaming them the Thunder. Personally, the logo is the worst part of the whole deal but for those that need to rep, Adidas has you covered. All caps can be found through team shops and select fitted cap shops in and around each team's city.

Following up with an NBA offering, the Hornets go with their hardwood classic mascot logo from their Charlotte, NC days in teal, purple, white and gold, with purple accents on a white crown and purple visor. Both of these color customs are available now and can be found exclusively at rocknjocks.com. 
Steel Darts Headwear Company, Pt:2
Below is another installment from the Steel Darts Company. For the second round, Steel Darts brings out the fitted caps re-worked with fine details for a unique look. Let's set it off with the High Def fitted, which utilizes a houndstooth plaid visor and top button. The wool crown is laced with perfectly placed, embroidered bolts that spiral out when you view from the top. Going down the line, The Gate Fitted blends a custom flock pattern on wool tweed fabric. The 5-panel construction on this cap allows for a nice seamless application of the flocked pattern. Last but not least is The Unwritten Fitted cap, which takes the pinwheel for a fresh update. This cap combines a bit of everything with leather visor, patterns, embroidery, and satin lining. All caps feature the Steel Darts icon pin. Stay posted here on UA as we continue to showcase Steel Darts headwear collection leading to their Summer / Fall release.
