I have been searching for this specific Flames hat for months and have had no luck. Long shot, but does anyone know where I would be able to track down one of these bad boys?

Check some local liquor stores, it looks like a Budweiser give away hat, it probably has "BUD" printed on the cheap plastic adjustment strap on the back.

For some reason I find the Flames have some seriously limited quantities of apparel. I have a snapback hat that's a throwback to the old horsehead jersey. I bought the last one I saw at Jersey City. A few friends/family who are Flames fans have commented that they really like it and I wanted to get one as a gift for a few people... Do you think I was ever able to find this hat again? Nope. Same thing happened with a retro third style toque I bought. It's like they made one and I happened to be the lucky guy that found it at the store.

I also really wish the Chinese knock off sites would focus more on hats. I'd never buy a knock off jersey but I'd buy a hat without a second thought.

Wow there are some seriously ugly hats in here. Some of them are so ugly that they're awesome, which is what I assume you guys are going for. IMO this is currently the best hat available. It's a snap back.

Perfect example of what I'm talking about with the horrible embroidery of the Flaming C. It ruins the whole hat IMO.

I get what you are saying and the hat you posted as an example demonstrates what you are talking about, I agree it looks bad. The "Flames" and the "C" look almost like they're glued together, they don't flow. However I think the one I posted is the complete opposite, they did a good job with it. The "Flames" on the back of the C flow into the actual C. Hence I disagree with your assertion that they are the same and that the hat I like is an example of the poor embroidery you pointed out.

Of course, everyone has their tastes.

But both those embroidery styles don't do it for me.

I tend to go for hats that aren't embroidered at all, like this:



I'm not sure what you call that, but just a solid Flames logo. I'm not saying I like this particular hat, but just for illustration purposes.

My current collection is as follows: (home, retro, away)







Also have a similar one in camoflauge with plain flaming C logo and black brim that the fan attic sold for a short period. Can't find a picture now. But what I have learned is that if you find one that you like buy it cause they are always discontinuing hats and then they're goners.

interesting topic ...

I'm with the embroidery crowd, simply hate them. I've been looking for a plain red hat with a white C (non-embroidered) forever.

Found one that was close, but it had an odd tenting effect that made me look like a combine operator.

Can't tell if it ships to Canada. I am considering ordering, just don't know my size.
