We've got lots of great new hats coming in and we wanted to give you a quick sneak peak at one of the new NCAA hats you'll soon be seeing online at lids.com and in select Lids/Hat World/Hat Shack stores.
Introducing the newest starter to our NCAA lineup...the NCAA Chalkline. This white NCAA hat features clean lines and simple style with just a pop of color on both the front and back team logos. This flat-billed, stretch-fit NCAA hat matches anything and everything which is why it's the perfect addition to your NCAA hat collection. Just remember to keep some cap cleaner handy so that your hat stays bright white!
Here are a few quick photos we've snapped for you. You're getting your first look at the NCAA Chalkline here on the Lids Blog. So...what do you think? Will you be picking up your team? Stay tuned to get this cap when it becomes available.
Scarves continue to be everywhere. In fact, there's an entire blurb on celebrities and scarves on whosdatedwho.com which demonstrates not only all the different celebs who are rocking fashion scarves but also the numerous ways to wear them.
Scarves can be knotted in a number of different ways:
Wrapped around the neck:
Draped around the neck:
Or worn in a bandana fashion:
It really doesn't matter how you wear a scarf just don't be caught in the cold without one. Check out lids.com for our latest fashion addition...the scarf!
So Lids Readers, how do you wear your scarves?
Lids Blog Readers--Have you ever heard of the only digital sports league in America? Well for those of you who haven't it's Major League Gaming or MLG.
Major League Gaming, founded in 2002, is a North American professional video gaming league. Not only does MLG host video game battles online for thousands of gamers, but the MLG Pro Circuit features a multi-city, live competition tour for video game enthusiasts throughout the United States and Canada. MLG has even had tournaments broadcast on national television, ESPN.com and other prominent broadband websites.
Lids has jumped on board with MLG. On November 15, 2009, four exclusive MLG hat styles will be available in select Lids stores and online at lids.com. Below is a sneak peak for three of the four hat styles that will be available. Check out the Lids locations that will be carrying these exclusive MLG hats here.
To find out more info about Major League Gaming and Lids' exclusive MLG hats, check out this video. They talk about the hats around the 6:31 mark. Happy Gaming!
Check out this great blank hat by Flexfit called the 210
Premium Fitted. This has the look of a fitted hat, but it stretches to fit most hat sizes. The S/M fits 6 7/8 through 7 1/4 and the L/X fits 7 1/4 through 7 5/8.
We carry multiple colorways including solid and two-toned styles. I think this a great blank cap if you are on a budget and are looking for a less expensive blank hat.
If you have not seen this blank hat yet, it is made from quality materials and put together with the same standards as the other Flexfit products.
LIDS has a great selection of blank hats and caps in the latest styles and colors. Get all your blank hats, caps and apparel only at lids.com™!
So Lids Readers, do you wear your blank hats blank or do you make your blank hat a custom hat by adding custom embroidery at lids.com or your local Lids store? What hats have you designed recently?
New to LIDS are three Rockstar Energy drink collaborative efforts with Fox Racing and Metal Mulisha. All three styles just hit stores and are expected to be big sellers heading into the holiday season. Check them out below.....
As this week comes to an end, we ask that you keep kids fighting cancer in your thoughts. Thousands of children across the country will support this worthy cause as they participate in the nation-wide Wear Your Cap to School Day event. This year's Wear Your Cap to School Day is being held this coming Friday, October 23rd. The fund raising event is sponsored annually by Caps for Kids, an international non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness and funds for children battling cancer. The goal of Caps for Kids is to give children a much needed boost in pride, confidence and strength by providing kids with celebrity autographed hats while they battle cancer and deal with the affects of chemotherapy.
The Wear Your Cap to School Day program is near and dear to our hearts here at Hat World/Lids, where we proudly serve as Caps for Kids' oldest corporate sponsor. This Friday, show your support for the cause. Make it a hat day!

We're beginning to feel some crisp fall air here in Indianapolis. While I know in just a matter of weeks I'll be wishing for spring, fall is always anxiously awaited. The break from the humid 90 degree weather is always appreciated and of course I look forward to fall clothes and true "football weather".
Speaking of football, the roof was open in Lucas Oil Stadium Sunday (Colts 4-0!!!). Although it was only in the 60s, the sun was blazing and it was hot! As I was sitting there sweating and the denim of my jeans was burning my legs, I couldn't help but notice the people wearing knits. I even saw a guy donning a Flap like the hat pictured below:
So my question to you loyal Lids-blog readers is, do you rock a knit hat to keep your dome warm or as a fashion statement?
