Zephyr Hats: Florida Gators Edition

This post should be fun! I could be considered a Gators fan, but the main reason I like these hats is that I love the orange and blue colors Florida uses. This is part of a series I have done that included Auburn, BYUCUDetroit Red Wings, and the Edmonton Oilers.

To surprise my readers, I want to start off the post with a rare snapback that has been on the market for a while, but just recently has gained more attention: the Rally snapbacks. The embroidery on these hats are completely jaw-dropping. The detail and precision of the embroidery is just incredible, almost flawless. Another great thing about this style is that it features a two-colored snap in the back. This design has green under-brims and square brims as well. The design on the front of the crown mimics a flag that has the word "GATORS" on it. Exceptional Zephyr hat.

To the right and left are Blockbuster 2 snapbacks. The one on the right is an additional concept because of the white crown, which allows for variety as well as color coordinating with clothing. These are quality and beautiful snapbacks.


The Hype snapbacks that Zephyr makes are interesting. The whole right side of the front of the crown features the logo of the teams mascot while the other simply has the raise-embroidered words for the team or mascot. The reason why I say these are interesting is that the stitching is not a straight as usual. From what I know, this design was made in China, as opposed to Bangladesh (where most Zephyr hats are made). The stitching on the hats made in Bangladesh are flawless in comparison to those made in China. I am sure Zephyr is working on addressing this issue.

The Gators Zephyr Shadow Script snapback is another great design featuring the cursive "Florida" with its lingering shadow. It also has the Gator logo on the bottom right of the crown. The contrast between colors on the lettering makes the hat distinctly stand out, as well as the raise embroidery of the lettering. The snap in the back is blue, the brim is squared with a green under-brim.

 Below, a Zephyr X-Ray snapback, another incredible design that's going to hit full-stride on the market soon.




To the left is a Zephyr Black Headliner snapback for the Florida Gators. The three types of Headliner snapbacks are explained in this blog post: Zephyr Headliner Series. Most are available on Hatmonster.

Below, another recent design from Zephyr called the Front Runner, and there is no doubt this Florida Gators Front Runner is outstanding. The square brim, green under-brim, one-colored snap, and the raise-embroidered Gator logo on the front makes this design a must-have.
