A New Direction?

See, this is what's great about opening up the t-shirt selection process.  The first submission for our GGTFO is not, in fact, a t-shirt.  Ed has submitted a design for a GrubbWeek hat.  Here it is: 

Aside from what we think about the color, design or lack of head coverage - what do we feel about the idea of a GrubbWeek hat?  Is it feasible?  The cost for a hat is slightly higher than a shirt.  While the shirts go for around $10 the hats are $12 to $15.  Here's some other thoughts from Bill to get the discussion started: 

I like the baseball cap idea!  I see that your example is a visor. ... You have to keep in mind that for some of us old guys, we have some thinning space up there and a visor would expose the problem we try so hard to deny!! ... Depending on how much effort one wanted to put in on the project, a reasonable consideration would be to go with an adjustable cap, however, it should not be too difficult to figure out the sizes we would need for ordering traditional caps.  With a traditional cap we would be able to have Sea Isle City in small letters on the back with an small American Flag. You can order the caps with the American Flag already affixed.

So what do you think?  Do you like the idea of a Grubbweek hat?  Post your thoughts in the COMMENTS section (by clicking on the word "comments" below).

Feedback from Amy:

Ed, we love the simple but elegant design of the visor --- very classy, very hip, very preppy. Excellent contribution.

We really love the idea of eventually being able to dress head to toe in Grubb gear --- we already have jackets from '01.....hats this year, we can go for shorts, socks, sweatshirts over the next few years...beach towels, beach bags --- sky's the limit, people! About time we got creative around here!! Next thing you know, we might even have a Grubb week article of clothing that doesn't have green in it ---- I know, that is blasphemy, but think of the possibilities that opens up! Baby steps, baby steps.
As an aside, we like the idea of adjustable caps better than visors or form-fitted caps because it's just easier for whomever is ordering in terms of tracking sizes -- the less customization with sizes, the eaiser it seems to be (and for the chicks whose headsize varies with the hair cut, you can still wear the hat....and for the men of the generation who ARE, in fact, becoming thinner on top....yes, you are, we just don't point it out for fear of hruting your feelings---- it keeps the hats useful), and you can get all kinds of things embroidered on any type of cap you like, even adjustable ones.
