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.

Attica Jailhouse : Cleveland Cavaliers "Script C Ligature" Fitted Cap

Attica Jailhouse recently produced a custom gem inspired by the 1970 Cleveland Cavaliers jersey wordmark. The Cavaliers entered the NBA in 1970 under team owner and founder Nick Mileti who let the city of Cleveland submit names for the new team, which he then selected from the final five. Aside from the team's original colors of wine and gold, this C captured the main focus of their early 70's jersey. The creative C blends the tail sweep element into a cavalier's hat feather. The felt fabric is hand cut and stitched onto a wool fitted cap. Contact Attica Jailhouse for availability.
