Embroidered youth swim team hats are the signature deck-side piece for coaches, team managers, and older swimmers. The team mark on the front panel makes the wearer instantly identifiable across the pool. Most teams skip the embroidered hat because the local hat embroiderer wants 36-pieces minimum to make the digitizing worth it. Bear Grips Pro Shops runs embroidered hats at no minimum on every catalog hat.

- Reorder: no setup fee on the second or 50th hat
