Zephyr Hats: Stanford Edition

This week: Stanford University Cardinal! The following have been done so far: Auburn, BYU, CU, Detroit Red Wings, Edmonton Oilers, Florida Gators, Georgia Tech, Hawaii, Iowa, the "J" Edition, Kentucky, Kansas, Louisville, Michigan, North Carolina, Oregon, Penn State, Quebec, and Rutgers. Whew!

First off, the Stanford Refresh snapback. Featured on the front is "The Tree," which is the Stanford Band's mascot that has become generally associated with the school. Stitched with raised embroidery, the design is, as far as I know, one of Zephyr's exclusive graphics, and will not be seen on any other brand's hats. The hat also includes a square brim, green under-brim, contrast button and eyelets, and dual colored snap (see picture below). Also on the back is the raise-embroidered word "Stanford" with a black outline. For all of Stanford's Zephyr snapbacks, check Hatmonster.

Stanford's sports teams are commonly known as Cardinal, referring to the dark red color, NOT the bird. To the left is Stanford Shadow Script snapback, a two-tone snapback with all the extraordinary qualities of a Zephyr hat: raised embroidery on the slanting, cursive script; contrast button and eyelets; raise-embroidered Stanford logo; made with 35% wool and 65% acrylic. Acrylic is a wool-like material that better withstands sun deterioration, and is a comfortable fit. This hat also includes a one-colored snap and a square brim.

The overwhelmingly popular snapback design from Zephyr is their Superstar snapback, which seen above featuring the Stanford Cardinal. The bold, raise-embroidered font across the front of the crown says "Stanford," while the raise-embroidered Stanford alternate logo is placed on the side. To the right is a Stanford Blockbuster 2 snapback, which is somewhat similar to the Superstar snapback design. The Blockbuster has a regularly-embroidered script that has a three dimensional effect, as well as a raise-embroidered Stanford logo. Other characteristics include: contrast button and eyelets, square brim, and green under-brim. There is another colorway for Stanford in this same design.

Above, the Stanford Front Runner snapback, which is essentially the Refresh snapback with three background lines.

To the right is the Stanford Headliner snapback, which features the raised, cursive script saying "Stanford," as well as a regularly stitched word "Cardinal." Depending on the time of purchase, the brims of this hat could either be round or square. All of these hats had one-colored snaps and green under-brims.

Some designs that I did not include in this post were the Supersonic, Rally, and X-Ray snapbacks, all outstanding and stylish designs.
