Mitchell & Ness Los Angeles Raiders Script Fitted Cap @ Rock-N-Jocks
Rock N Jocks has connected with Mitchell & Ness for a special make-up of the infamous Los Angeles Raiders script design. This unique script design was originally produced by Sport Specialties back in 1986 when it debuted as the official cap for the NBA Draft Day event. The script design was further cemented into sub-culture when Hip-Hop group NWA established this design and any other LA team cap as a staple piece of a gangsta's uniform. Twenty-four years later, this script design continues to inspire countless versions within team licensed and streetwear fashion arenas. For this reincarnation, Rock-N-Jocks sought out Mitchell & Ness expertise to replicate the design on a fitted. The cap has a wool foundation featuring the Los Angeles Raiders script design in semi-raised embroidery. It features the throwback NFL shield logo on the right side, Mitchell & Ness branding on the left, and Raiders logo on the back. Rock-N-Jocks is currently sold out of this cap but re-stock is on its way. Contact Rock-N-Jocks directly to reserve this iconic cap for the second round re-up.

The Clink Room: Everett AquaSox "Trident-E" Fitted Cap
The Clink Room just released their first Minor League Baseball cap inspired by a Major League Baseball throwback logo. The new Everett AquaSox fitted cap features the "Trident-E" emblem, derived from the throwback Seattle Mariners "Trident-M" from 1980-1986. Everett is just up the road from Seattle and it was difficult to pass up a simplistic solution of turning the trident on it’s side to make an “E”. Simple is always best and sometimes the best designs require very little designing at all. Available now at The Clink Room online store, each purchase includes a Clink patch.
