2019 NFL Draft hats unveiled
The 2019 NFL Draft is just around the corner, and on Tuesday, New Era unveiled the official caps that draftees will be wearing on stage.
This year's collection integrates the local flags of each city or state with the team logos.
"This idea as we go through to celebrate the past of the NFL and innovation of where it's moving, we really wanted to start with where the game began within each local community," Ryan DiNunzio, New Era's director of football, told Jonathan Jones of The MMQB.
"It's a unique way to say 'This is where we started, this is who we are, this is what we’re about, this is the community we represent,'" DiNunzio added. "At the same time, it tells a separate story of welcoming a new member into that community."
More examples are below, and the full collection can be viewed here.
