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 Originators x Mitchell & Ness Snapback Caps

LA based, The Originators, is gearing up to release two new snapback caps in connection with nostalgia company, Mitchell & Ness later this year. The first one is a standard wool 1973 cap using full raised embroidery on the year and "Birth Of Hip-Hop" in flat embroidery on the back. I am personally looking forward to this piece, there is just something about the big year look and the significant meaning behind this important year. The second is an Originators branded style that comes with light gray top button, eyelets, and top visor. Both caps are constructed using Mitchell & Ness' throwback, snapback shape, which has been popping off in the market lately. Stay posted on UA for official info on release date and availability.
