Hat #14 - Brown Broncos Retro AFL Hat

I've been on a big Brown and Yellow kick since the Broncos decided to do the retro thing this season. Of the three Brown Broncos caps I've purchased, this one is easily my favorite! I got it at the Broncos Team Store at Invesco Field. It's apparently a Team Store exclusive, which is pretty cool, and it's the only retro Broncos cap I've seen where the logo is placed on a brown background which looks way better than the white or yellow which is the only other options I've ever seen. This one cost $30, which is way more than I usually want to pay for a hat, but it was so fantastic that I had to get it. Plus, it fits my head perfectly and it's exceptionally comfy, so basically this hat rules. It's definitely received a decent amount of play in the rotation.

Hat #6 - Retro Broncos (Brown and Yellow)

I dig this hat for the simple reason that it is based off the same time period as the inspiration for my blog... www.verticallystripedsocks.com

Plus, it's just a pretty cool hat, I dig the ugly Brown and Yellow, the cool AFL logo on the back, and the first Broncos logo was pretty cool. This hat has it's drawbacks in that it is white, and that it is a stretchfit hat that is a little tiny bit tight, but I've been wearing this hat whenever I wear brown lately, which is maybe once every week or two. I dig this hat, and will definitely be wearing it when the Broncos play the Patriots and I go to the game. (They're wearing their retro unis that day, you see!)

Hat #4 - My Other Retro Broncos Hat

I swear, I have other hats besides Broncos hats, and I'll even post one of them sometime soon, but I thought I'd post the hat I have featuring the goofy Broncos logo from the early 60's. This hat always garners compliments when I wear it, but it's not as comfortable or awesome as the orange one, so it is less often put into the rotation. I like how it looks, but it can leave a bit of a mark on the head, as it is the stretch fit variety which I have a love hate relationship with. I do still pull it out for special events when nothing but a royal blue AFL hat will do, though. Not that those events come up all that often, but still...

Hat #2 - My Second Favorite Hat Ever!

Okay, so this is my second favorite hat of all time. I'm a huge fan of the 1960's Broncos logo also the color orange and fitted hats. This hat combines all of those loves, plus it's awfully comfortable. I bought this hat in the summer of 2008 and it was a little bit too small and it's a stretch fit hat, so that can spell trouble, but it stretched out perfectly and now fits my head like a glove without leaving lines on my head, a problem that is all too common for stretch fit hats.

Another reason I dig this hat is because unless you are somewhat knowledgeable about football, there is an excellent chance that you have no idea that this is a Denver Broncos hat. If you do know football, you realize that this is a Broncos hat, which makes it a double win. Because if you don't like football, you may think that this is just a weird hat with a goofy looking horse on it, and if you DO like football, you can this that this hat is just flat out AWESOME, which it is, of course.

I like just about everything about this hat from it's fit, to it's color, to the logo, to the little '60 that is on the corner of the hat to signify the Broncos franchise origin in 1960. This is a beautiful hat, and it makes me happy to put it on my head. I wear it a ton, which is something I can't say about all my hats, as you will see if you keep following this blog. This hat is currently in heavy rotation, as I wear it three or four days a week.
