Attica Jailhouse: Len Bias Custom Tribute Fitted Cap
Attica Jailhouse pays tribute to one of Maryland’s best players, Leonard Kevin Bias (11.18.63 – 6.19.86). This is a gray wool fitted cap with a printed felt patch of Bias' name inside a basketball. The cap colors play off the Boston Celtics who drafted Bias in 1986. Bias was considered, at the time, one of the greatest college players of his era. Over his four years at Maryland, Bias scored 2,149 points, was ACC Player of the Year in 85 & 86, and First Team All-American in 86. Two days after being drafted by the Boston Celtics, Bias died of heart failure due to cocaine intoxication.
