For those who don’t know Ecap City release new customized New Era 59Fifty’s every Thursday. This means that every Thursday my bank account has the potential to dip even further in the red than it already is. If you’re a fan of the blog you know that one of my favorite logos in that of the NHL New Jersey Devils and wouldn’t you know it, they are currently one win away from playing for the 2012 NHL Stanley Cup. Support the darkside and root for the Devils with this gorgeous custom on your dome.

Miami Marlins

I recently went to Miami, FL to compete in two different international judo tournaments. One was the 2012 Judo U.S. Open and the other was the prestigious 2012 Miami Judo World Cup (90kg). The level of competition was world class and as you can see from the results, I ended up placing 7th in both tournaments. Anyway, while down in the swamp I stopped by several local Cool J’s locations only to leave empty handed and bummed. I then hit up a local Champs store and low and behold, I found what I was looking for. On the highest shelf, out of my reach, there was a lone Teal and Black Miami Marlins fitted. I asked an employee to get the hat down for me and as he climbed the ladder he told me that this specific hat had sold out quickly because it featured the old Florida Marlins colorway but had the new Miami Marlins logo. COCONUTS RIGHT?! He hands me the hat and it was my size, 7 1/2. How do you turn that down? I had to own it.

Miami Nights

Picture this, you hop on to your favorite custom fitted site, one of mine being Ecap City, and you see something that you know you got to get your hands on. If you’re anything like me, your wallet ain’t big enough to cash in on this feeling every time you feel it, but sometimes you have to pull the trigger and buy. This Arizona Diamondbacks done up in the Nike Lebron 9 Miami Nights colorway was one of those fitteds that was going to be mine come Hell or high water. Made to match these kicks, the colors on this hat is ridiculous. Grey brim, Black crown, with Cherry and Purple finishes. YUM. One of my favorite touches is the baseball man done up in the hot Cherry and Purple thread mixture too, so hot.

One of my favorite scenes from Scarface! Miami nights baby!

GGGGGG MEEEEEEN!

Marcelo Who?

Look at the image above and I want you to tell me which one looks like a living grappling legend. If you said the lame guy on the left with the goofy Teal and Purple “Summit Lake” Los Angeles Dodgers New Era fitted on his head, you’d be wrong. The guy on the right is Marcelo Garcia and he is one of the best, if not arguably THE best grappler/jiu jitsu practitioner in the world. IN THE WORLD! The talent that Marcelo has is one that legends are made of. His list of victories are as impressive as that of the Roman Army in their hay day, and above all, his character and demeanor is one of an absolute Saint. This is the second time I had the privilege to snap a photo with Marcelo and I must say that I hid my excitement very well. As a judoka and brazilian jiu jitsu practitioner, to meet a man at the caliber of Mr. Garcia, is like a basketball fiend meeting Michael Jordan or a badminton freak meeting Jack Purcell. If all you do is look at the picture above and watch the video below, you’ll be amazed.

THE ONLY MARCELO GARCIA VIDEO THAT MATTERS. WATCH IT.

A New Era

If you’re a fitted enthusiast you probably already know that yesterday, April 1st 2012, New Era finally released their official NFL fitteds. All 32 NFL teams and their logos can now be found emblazoned upon a team color 59Fifty fitted. Another cool fact is that the fitteds released are going to be the official draft day caps worn by the draftees during the April 26th 2012 NFL Draft. How cool is that?! Stay posted as I plan on getting my New York Giants fitted tomorrow!

New Duo

Pictured above are two of my newest fitteds and they deserve their 30 seconds of fame! You may notice the NBA Vancouver Grizzlies cap from a previous post of mine. This hat caught my eye the day it was released by Ecap City and I knew it had to be mine. What made it better is that I bought the hat with a 20% off discount code. WINNING. The second hat is a recently released joint from Fitted Hawaii and is not yet available for sale online. My judo sensei went back to Oahu, HI. for a business trip and brought me back an awesome limited edition gift. The crown is a calm Burgundy while the King Kamehameha bust is done up in a slick metallic Gold thread.

Blackhawk Down

If you’re a frequent reader of the blog you’ll know that I love the NHL Chicago Blackhawks logo. If not, brush up on my love for this fitted here, here, and here. This 59Fifty from Get Set New York is a perfect addition to the ever growing list of Blackhawk lids featured here and it definitely does not disappoint. Done up with a white weave dome and topped with an all purple iconic Blackhawk Indian, these two features alone make the hat unique. Throw in the all black vinyl brim and this lid turns in to a real eye catcher.

Ever wonder who plays the organ at hockey games?

Aquasox Reppin’

My girlfriend and I ham it up in front of the famous Seattle gum Wall.

My girlfriend and I decided to take a break from the cold, rainy, and dreary weather in Portland, OR. and take the three hour trip up the I5 North to experience the colder, rainier, drearier weather that Seattle, WA. has to offer. While getting ready in the morning there was no question what I was going to wear and it was going to be my trusty Everett Aquasox fitted done up by the classy fellows over at The Clink Room. Everett, WA is a jaunt away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Seattle and it’s home to the MiLB Everett Aquasox, the Minor League affiliate to the MLB Seattle Mariners. What makes the Aquasox logo so unique is that it looks strikingly familiar to the Mariners retro “Trident” logo, see for yourself!
