Color
A baseball/dad cap featuring an AK pattern rifle, as well as a miner's pick and three red stars (for flavor). We were so close to having a labor-centered revolution in the early 20th century, but Pinkertons, cops, and good ol' American federal-fascism put a big dent in that movement. Then it looked like post-WWII was going to give workers the leg up they needed to pursue economic freedom. But, no. The Civil Rights movement was fought tooth and nail and with it the labor movement, which was speaking for black, white, brown, Native, and Asian voices in the workplace. The Anti-War movement was hit by the "War on Drugs", and then everything else got hit with Reagan and his neoliberal trickle-down-my-pantleg economic policies. Just look up the Coal Wars, Battle of Blair Mountain, Eugene Debs, Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Black Panthers. Just browse those pages on Wikipedia and tell me you don't feel a little bit more communist afterwards.

These twill hats are sturdy and comfortable, perfect for keeping the sun out of your eyes and advertising whatever obscene message you decided to put on your hat. Spin this bad boy around and you're instantly 32% more cool. Sadly, this Yankee comes with a brim.
