Ranking the 5 best and worst 2018 NFL Draft hats
The NFL officially unveiled its 2018 NFL Draft hats Thursday, and they're a departure from what we normally see on draft night.
The collection features slogans from all 32 teams - some better than others.
We've ranked the five best and worst draft hats based on the likelihood of the hat actually being purchased and worn.
Best
5. Falcons
The Falcons enlisted the likes of Samuel L. Jackson to help get this slogan off the ground, and it has stuck. Only a handful of this year's draft hats meet the mark. This is one of them.
4. Vikings
Playing off the uber-popular "Game of Thrones" and borrowing from the Toronto Raptors' "We The North" marketing machine was a smart call. The Vikes are winners on and off the field.
3. Rams
The word "gang" is an absolute no-go for all things branding, but "mob" just meets the standards of acceptability. And thank goodness for that, because these hats are fire.
2. Bills
There was no way the NFL would allow "Bills Mafia" on a hat, so this is the next best thing. Well, this and "Devon, get the tables!"
However, the Bills' hat misses out on the top spot partly because of the poor execution of the "Let's Go Buffalo" chant on the sweatband.
1. Eagles
1) They're the defending Super Bowl champs, and that gives a boost to all their merchandise. 2) The Eagles' slogan is one of the best in the league and comes with a catchy fight song.
Worst
5. Saints
Anything other than "Who Dat" is unacceptable.
4. Colts
Colts fans can't even figure out what this means. The team should have gone with "The rivalry is back on."
3. Patriots
This hat is going to fly off the shelves in Massachusetts. But does anyone else really want to walk around wearing a slogan that sounds like something your boss would scream at you?
2. Dolphins
Like most things Dolphins, this is truly uninspired.
1. Panthers
When doing too much goes wrong.
