Default FP - Need some baseball cap expertise!



I'm thinking of getting some custom embroidery done and need some opinions. I would have to buy these in bulk and can only afford 50 at a whack — one design only! Give me your best pick, I will go with the one that gets the most votes (if there is enough interest). I do not have a final bid on these yet but am shooting for low $20's, plus shipping. Thanks

I am interested in "A". "D' is my only second choice.


Do all 50 have to be the same? BTW, the supplier we use at CICCI does not require that large of a minimum. LMK if you need a hook-up.

All 50 have to be the same, but it does leave the door open for a second design on a reorder maybe?

I voted for B but would be down for any of them. I've only got 5 crossfire hats. Always room for one more.

These are different than the ones you posted before as they did not have a patch, but were embroidered.

C & D are both new designs. Wanted to mix it up a bit.

I voted for B, but it would be nice to have the embroidery in red against the black cap.

Elegant baseball cap is a oxymoron.

I would buy both A & B, but embroidered. No patches for me.

I use to design for a company in LA a few years back. We did screen-printing and embroidery for Disney, ESPN, FILA, Hard Rock and many others. Designed some pretty wild caps in the past! The subtle, tone on tone designs always sold the best. "B" would be my personal pick also. Thanks for the comments!

Not overstated, but nice.

OK guys my next project is under way....finally! I need some advice with baseball cap selection.

The embroidery design will be as pictured below, black X-Fire with medium silver Crossfire lettering.

Below are the pros and cons of each hat, IMHO. I can only pick one version for this project and I have to let them know in 2 days. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks - H82BL8.

Hat A Pros:
A bit more finished look.
Sporty sandwich bill, red front and red undervisor.

Hat A Cons:
Velcro fabric back strap is OK not as finished a fabric and buckle straps.

Hat B Pros:
Great casual pigment dyed fabric.
Fabric back strap.

Hat B Cons:
Brass buckle and brass eyelet's, (brass color does not match well with embroidery design colors, black and silver).
