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
Colors: Cobalt // Ice Blue Suede
Front 3D Embroidery: "LA" initials from the iconic Los Angeles Times logo.
Side Patch Artwork: "Home Plate" inspired patch that pictures a scene with the Los Angeles skyline in the background. A blue gradient from light to dark was used to represent the evolution of Dodger Blue over time, progressively getting darker from powder blue to the now navy-ish Pantone 294. The forefront features Jackie Robinson, the first African American to play in the MLB with the Brooklyn Dodgers. Slight red details inspired by the Dodgers Logo and league-wide retired #42.
Underbrim Embroidery: "Jackie” font inspired by the Dodgers modern word logo.
Back Embroidery: Alternate MLB inspired "A5" logo in modern team colors.
