Zephyr Hats: NDSU Edition

I originally planned North Dakota State University for "N," but later thought that North Carolina was a much better choice.. so here you have some what I was intending to do.

All these versions have square brims and green under-brims.

Left, the North Dakota State University Supersonic snapback, which is a unique three-tone snapback featuring Zephyr's notable raised embroidery as well as design. The raised-embroidered "NDSU" is accompanied by the stitched word "Bison." This style was originally made with round brims, but has since then been made with square brims. Other aspects of this hat include the green under-brim, contrast button and eyelets, and two-colored snap (black and yellow). Also embroidered on this hat is the embroidered Bison logo.

Above, and left, are the two versions of the NDSU Blockbuster 2 snapbacks. The logos are raise embroidered while the script is regular. Both have contrast button and eyelets, square brims, and green under-brims.

We all know that "summer time is a great time to wear white," so Zephyr released the Summer 2012 White Upshot program, including NDSU's. These are essentially the same as the original Upshots, except for the obvious color change, material change, and under-brim color. The White Upshots have green under-brims and are made with 100% cotton, while the originals had grey under-brims and were made with 35% wool and 65% acrylic. The slanting, cursive script across the crown is raise embroidered; everything else is regularly stitched.

Above is the incredibly embroidered NDSU Rally snapback. Not only is it finely stitched, but the embroidery is raised to give the snapback a 3-D effect. Other characteristics include a square brim, two-colored snap, and green under-brim. To the right is the NDSU Refresh snapback, a two tone snapback with the raise-embroidered Bison logo on the front of the crown. It has contrast button and eyelets, square brims, green under-brims, and two-colored snaps.

The NDSU Shadow Script snapback is pictured left. This two tone snapback features a slanting, cursive script across the front of the crown that is raise embroidered, as well as the Bison logo under it. It also includes contrast button and eyelets, square brims, green under-brims, and one-colred snaps.

Lastly, and one of my favorites, the NDSU X-Ray Snapback! The embroidery in the front and back are both raised, which add to the swag of this hat. The picture sums up the hat very well!
