Zephyr XLine, Refresh, And ReVault Snapbacks Explained

The topic I am about to discuss has been somewhat confusing to me; I am still researching into it. However, as many Zephyr fanatics know, Zephyr has recently unveiled the following snapback styles: XLine, Refresh, and ReVault. While each display their own uniqueness, they also share some characteristics.

These sets of Fresno State University and University of Maryland snapbacks will help illustrate the differences between the ReVault and the Refresh snapbacks. The main graphic design of any ReVault snapback is that it features a retro logo of the school or team. Much of the time, the ReVault will feature an old-school logo of the mascot. The Refresh features the current logo of the school. The Fresno State ReVault snapback is on the left, while the snapback on the right is a Refresh.

The next two pictures further clarify the differences of the ReVault and Refresh. The Maryland ReVault is on the right, featuring a retro logo; the Maryland Refresh is on the left, featuring the current logo.

The next set of snapbacks with help identify between the Refresh and the Xline. The Xline is essentially the logo of the Refresh with a snapback. Notice the difference between the BYU Refresh on the left; the Xline on the right. As far as I know, only certain Refresh designs have been used to form Xline snapbacks.


An exclusive, notable design of an Xline snapback is for Arizona State University. What makes this extremely unique is the fact that "this is the only time the school has allowed anyone to remake Sparky in a different way." All three of these colorways are still available on Hatmonster.com, which is extremely surprising. Be sure to get one before they run out; they "will be only for sale from now until August."


 
The nominee for "Snapback of the Week" is the Gonzaga Bulldogs Blockbuster 2 Snapback. The white-crowned Blockbuster 2 snapbacks are one of my favorite designs; although I should not say that because I like every design Zephyr has made on snapbacks.

     
I am once again sorry that I did not post last week: it was filled with taking exams, attending choir practices, graduation practices, and open houses. While graduating was the main highlight of last week, another cherished moment of last week was Zephyr's announcing me to be a super-fan. It truly is a honor to be named super-fan, and I intend to live up to the title.
