Lids

Profile

Should your fandom require matching headwear with your favorite major league franchise, Lids branches carry the official on-field baseball cap of every team—not to mention a dizzying panoply of jazzy variations like houndstooth Yankees or Mets in St. Paddy’s green. Other major sports get comparatively short shrift, though every local team is accounted for as are big-time NCAA programs like Notre Dame and Michigan. This cap craze knows no limits: Check out the lowbrow novelty caps sporting the logos of Schlitz, Playboy, and John Deere. Those are name brands inciting very different types of loyalties. — Ben Perkins
