Left, the Black Headliner; and right, the Original Headliner. The cursive font on the front, as well as the logos on the side, are raise-embroidered. In contrast, the phrase "Longhorns" is regularly embroidered.

 To the left is the Texas Longhorns Front Runner snapback, a two-tone snapback similar to the Refresh, that has a raise-embroidered Longhorn centered on the crown. Behind it are three lingering lines; the middle line highlights the phrase "HORNS." Other qualities of this hat include its contrast button and eyelet, green under-brim, and square brim.

Below, the Texas Razzle snapback, which evidences  its many qualities in the picture. Both the script on the front and the logo on the side are raise-embroidered.

To the right is one of Zephyr's more finely-stitched hats: the Texas Rally snapback. This features the precise, raise-embroidered word "Horns," as well as the longhorn logo below it. Other characteristics include contrast button and eyelet, dual-colored snaps, and green under-brims.

Below, the Longhorns X-Ray snapback, which has some notable qualities: dual-colored snap, raise-embroidered word "HORNS" in the back, and the x-ray effect on the longhorn logo across the front of the crown.

 Because summer is a great time to wear white, Zephyr released a line during the summer of 2012 called the White Upshot. Essentially the same as the original Upshots, the Texas White Upshot differs in that its colorway has been overtaken with white, and it has a green under-brim instead of grey. Raise embroidery on the cursive font and the longhorn logo are two other note-worthy facets of this hat.

Below, the simple, yet popular, Texas Shadow Script snapback. It almost resembles the Upshot, but has an attractive simple look to it.

Right, the unique and rare Texas Hype snapback. Why unique and rare? First off, around the right front panel is piping, which creates a contrasting effect from the other panels. Next, the contrast stitching on the brim is not seen very often, and then the incredible raised embroidery on the word "TEXAS" and the longhorn logo. The under-brims are green and the snaps are one-colored. Another unique characteristic worth nothing is that the front two panels do not have eyelets.

Last, but not least, is the Texas Longhorns Superstar snapback, seen above. The bold font on the front of the crown is raise-embroidered, while the phrase "University Of" is regularly embroidered. Also raise-embroidered is the longhorns logo on the side. This is by far the most popular snapback design for a Zephyr snapback. There are multiple colorways for Texas Superstars, so click here to see them on Hatmonster.
