Zephyr Hats Super-fan: Snapback Styles Pt. 1

When it comes to styles of snapbacks, Zephyr has variegated, uniquely-designed, and often imitated styles. I intend to show some of Zephyr's designs that get popular feedback online, and that I've seen in actuality. Seeing hats online does harm to the design and colors of a hat. Being in the presence of a hat allows for better distinguishing of colors, and studying of design. This one of two posts dealing with Zephyr styles.

To the right is a Zephyr custom Chicago Blackhawks snapback, not to be confused with the Oregon Ducks Blockout, which is on the left. Both are similarly designed, but to note the small differences: 1) The dividing line between the name of the mascot and the name where the team can be found. 2) The  placement of the team logo.




Next are a Zephyr BYU and Kansas Hype Snapback, a newer design with a unique design that cannot be rightly captured by a camera. I saw many in stores, and was more impressed in person than on the screen.

 









To the left is a rare design Zephyr has made, called the Swoop, which I have never seen in person; but the design is captivating, and I don't know where you can buy them. I was told that "the Swoop is coming out in bits and pieces as various retailers are buying their own version of them." 

Below is a series of shots of a Florida Gators Zephyr Upshot Snapback, a creative design not to be confused with, but similar to, the Zig Zag.



The photo on the left pictures a UConn Refresh Snapback, a logo oriented line of hats for schools. The Penguins Zig Zag Snapback to the right has a thrilling design, and could be often confused with the Upshot.










To the right, and above, are Superstar Snapbacks. Made in both round and square brims, the Superstar features not only schools, but cities and countries like Brooklyn, Sweden, and Italy.


Lastly, I want to cover the Blockbuster collection. To the left is a Blockbuster 2, which basically is the square-brimmed version with the color-filled design of the regular Blockbuster, which is to the right. You can buy both styles of the Blockbuster on Hatmonster.
