Adidas NBA Updated Team Fitted Caps

Adidas NBA updates their standard fitted cap collection for the Atlanta Hawks, New Orleans Hornets, Minnesota Timberwolves, and the newly formed Oklahoma City Thunder. All teams besides the Thunder have added a secondary logo or updated their primary mark. For those who don't remember, Clay Bennett (team owner) did Seattle wrong by moving the franchise to Oklahoma City and renaming them the Thunder. Personally, the logo is the worst part of the whole deal but for those that need to rep, Adidas has you covered. All caps can be found through team shops and select fitted cap shops in and around each team's city.
