Mitchell & Ness 1986 NBA All-Star Game Fitted Caps, Pt:1

Dallas is in full effect tonight as they host, for the second time, the 59th NBA All-Star Game at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington Texas.  Mitchell & Ness brings it back by releasing the official fitted caps focused around the 1986 All-Star Game jersey. Starting off, both caps are made with jersey mesh fabric. Instead of embroidery M&N utilizes vinyl, heat-transfer applications for the front word mark and side panel stars, similar to the execution of the original 86' jerseys.  Both caps come with historic event, date, place, and final score to the game embroidered on the sweatbands.  Available now through Mitchell & Ness.com and the Jam Session in Dallas.
