Zephyr Hats: Xline Edition

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't posted in a while.. You are probably wondering what this "Xline Edition" is going to be.. well, all the exclusive graphics that Zephyr has design and put on snapback hats, most of them will be here! Check out all the other posts in the "A-Z Series!" Chose from the following: Auburn, BYU, CU, Detroit, Edmonton, Florida, GT, Hawaii, Iowa, Kentucky, Kansas, Louisville, Michigan, North Carolina, NDSU, Oregon, Penn State, Quebec, Rutgers, Stanford, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Whalers!

There was a series of hats that Zephyr released around March 2012 that consisted of a college's mascot with a snapback; with Arizona State, Zephyr was able to redesign Sparky as well, which is seen in all three colorways here. Want to buy one? Find them on Hatmonster based off crown color: maroon crown, black crown, and yellow crown. All have green under-brims, contrast button and eyelets, and dual-colored snaps.

To the right is another example of a Zephyr Exclusive Graphic Design, Nebraska's "Mad Kernel," as featured on a Grey Refresh. Zephyr's "Mad Kernel" can be seen on the X-Ray, Refresh, Game Changer, Front Runner, and Animal Style. All those snapback designs have square brims; however, the under-brim color will vary. The Animal Style has a grey under-brim, while the rest have the common Kelly-Green. This Xline from Zephyr is probably one of more eye-catching designs out of all of them.


Left, the Notre Dame X-Ray snapback, with the exclusive graphic of a leprechaun. Eric Johnson, the Zephyr Graphic Artist who designed this logo, has a blog post about this very logo. Like Johnson says, "Zephyr makes many different variations of hat styles with this logo," which you can see on Hatmonster in the Notre Dame section.

Below, is a Xline of Zephyr's for he Pittsburgh Penguins, which is seen on the Zephyr Refresh snapback, as well as on the Grey Refresh snapback. What is more unique than an angry penguin with a hockey stick?

Towards the right is the Penn State Nittany Lions Refresh snapback, another Zephyr-designed logo with a fierce lion tearing across the front two panels. The picture answers any questions about construction or colors on this snapback hat. Isn't this Zephyr-designed Penn State logo is so much more appealing than the other one the school frequently uses? This design was also placed on other hat styles, like a knit hat, as well as a multiple curved-bill hats including a white extreme, a twist flex, and a blue dhx. As far as I know, the only snapback with the Xline Lion is the Refresh.

Both the Syracuse Orange and Tennessee Volunteers have exclusive graphics from Zephyr as well; Syracuse even adopted Zephyr's logo they created as their primary logo! Both hats shown are the Front Runner snapback design.

Lastly, Michigan and Zephyr's "M Paw" design, which was one of the first XLines that was made; it is seen below on numerous Zephyr hats. From left to right: the Hype, Grey Refresh, Front Runner, and X-Ray snapback hats. Check out the Michigan section on Hatmonster to see a greater variety!
