Mitchell & Ness 'Hall Of Fame: Class Of 2009' Chicago Bulls Cap Collection
Basketball’s greatest player, Michael Jordan is set to be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall Of Fame this Friday, September 11, 2009. To commemorate this special event, Mitchell & Ness has released a special collection of fitteds and snapback caps. The collection starts off with the 84’ Home Court mesh fitted cap. Inspired by the original jersey, the cap is made with poly mesh fabric and the BULLS wordmark applied in a heat transfer. The side panels are cut n sew, which take their cue from the uniform shorts. The back is solidified with a red, satin Mitchell & Ness label. Following behind that are a pair of two tone, wool fitted caps. Each cap utilizes the 84 jersey home and road wordmarks. Finally, the collection pays homage to Michael Jordan's '84 rookie year by offering M&N’s staple, wool snapback cap. This is a 5-panel construction with heat transfer front hit and green under visors. The Hall Of Fame Bulls caps hook directly to Michael Jordan's limited edition, 1984-85, authentic rookie jersey by Mitchell & Ness available now at the NBA Store in NYC. The Mitchell & Ness flagship store, site and other select retailers will have these in stock within the coming weeks.

Duck Down Records x New Era Custom 59Fiftys
Legendary Hip Hop recording label Duck Down Records recently collaborated with New Era to produce a set of custom 59Fiftys representing nothing but the best of Bucktown, USA.
The first fitted cap carries the namesake of emcee and original black moon member, Buckshot Shorty, and features a raised embroidered script on a Dodgers blue 59Fifty.
The last two 59Fiftys lay it down for the Boot Camp Clik's one and only Sean Price. For those in the know ( ie. NYC heads, circa early ninties), the the white on white fitted pays homage to Sean P's DECEP roots, with tonal white embroidery and the P in the wordmark in Decepticon purple. These caps are fire.
Look for these custom 59Fiftys online, or at premium fitted retailers near you.![]()
