‘47 Twins Toronto Blue Jays Retro Hat

I’ve been trying to upload a regular post about hats for a while now but have been delayed all summer thanks to trips and activities. But today I finally had a few hours to organize my hats, take pictures, and even make a video. This blog post is about my Blue Jays 47 Brand hat, and it’s funny because I actually took these pictures in the beginning of summer and I’m finally writing about it now in the end of summer. It seems appropriate though because the Jays are the boys of summer, and I spent this summer watching the team.

What’s also funny is that I have a large 47 Brand collection, and this is the second time I’m mentioning a hat from them. I guess it’s because I’ve been collecting way too many New Era fitteds over the last couple of years. However the truth is I love 47 Brand and there’s not a week that goes by that I don’t wear a Franchise hat.

This Blue Jays hat is particularly important to me because it’s a retro version of my hometown team. It represents the logo version I grew up watching and all the achievements the team had while using it. The Franchise model is a hundred percent cotton, while the bill or brim uses plastic. These two features not only make the hat comfortable, but also durable. Unfortunately, this version of the hat has now been updated and no longer exists which makes me very thankful that the durability of 47 Brand hats will mean this hat will last me for years.
