*In-hand & ready to ship. Ships same business day if order is made before 4pm PT.

CHRONICLE COLLECTION

Inspired by the rich history of California teams, this concept pays homage to the Golden State and its most iconic teams. Just like a newspaper, these hats capture team history, cultural references, and classic color combos on that only a true fan or local could recognize. With the news paper print industry quickly dying, this concept is an ode to the once coveted front page cover that headlined our favorite sports/athletes and the publishers that created them.

Influenced by current headwear trends and a fresh take on vintage hats, each piece in this collection is constructed of premium thick corduroy and buttery suede for that retro, faded vibe. The overall hat frame is a custom designed 5-panel, mid-profile crown with a tapered, pre-curved brim that aims to provide a clean and timeless silhouette.

DESIGN INSPIRATION

We decided to go with our own custom "C" as we were torn between using the San Diego or Los Angeles initials. With the recent move to LA and most of their history coming from SD, we wanted to make the hat neutral territory for their fans. 

Colors: Navy // Powder Blue Suede

Front 3D Embroidery: "C" initial inspired by California newspaper fonts with an integrated Chargers bolt. Blank and yellow stripe inspired by Chargers modern word logo.

Side Patch Artwork: Patch shape is inspired by the vintage Chargers shield that they sported from 1961-1973.  Artwork features the Los Angeles skyline with 2 bolts and a charger horse dashing through. 

Underbrim Embroidery: "BOLT UP” font inspired by the Chargers modern word logo.

Back Embroidery: Alternate NFL inspired "A5" logo in modern team colors.
