Three hat styles for esports teams
1. Classic Flat Bill Snapback (Yupoong)
Flat-bill snapback with embroidered front logo. The default esports team hat. Fits the streetwear-adjacent aesthetic that most esports teams adopt.
2. Premium 5-Panel Baseball Hat (Otto Cap)
Traditional baseball cap silhouette. For teams that want a cleaner less-streetwear look. Common in college programs that want a more athletic look.
3. Cuffed Winter Beanie (Yupoong)
Acrylic knit beanie. Winter add-on. Popular with streamers and teams in cold-weather regions.
Start with the snapback and the beanie. Add the baseball cap if college or school administration requests a cleaner look.

Standard placement: front center, 2 to 3 inches wide. Keep the design simple. The team logo, the team initials, or a wordmark all embroider cleanly. Avoid intricate mascot detail.
Optional second placement is the back of the snapback (above the closure) for a small "EST [year]" or team initials.

What hat style works best for an esports team?
Flat bill snapback for the default esports aesthetic. Classic baseball cap for college programs that want a cleaner look. Cuffed beanie for winter and streamer use.
Should we embroider or print the team logo on hats?

Can we add the team logo to both the front and back of a hat?
Yes. Standard placement is front center (2-3 inches wide). Optional second placement is the back above the snapback closure (small "EST [year]" or initials).
What does a custom esports team hat cost?
VIP base prices: $29.86 for snapbacks and baseball caps, $25.86 for beanies. Most teams retail at $34 to $42 and earn $6 to $12 margin per hat.
