The NBA rarely is lacking in the fashion department. We know that from watching guys like Russell Westbrook in post-game interviews. We know that from some of the sweet custom basketball uniforms that take the court. And we also know that based on shoes and various gear some of the more expressive players decide to don for games.
Bow ties and shoes, move aside. The Milwaukee Bucks are dropping some serious style with a different accessory – hats.
The best part? The team is letting their own players do it. The NBA and New Era made this project possible, as they’ve put the creative minds of Bucks players John Henson, Jabari Parker, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damien Inglis to the test. Each player worked with New Era to submit a unique design for the “Bucks x New Era Player Edition” project and the ultimate winner (the best hat) will be decided upon based off of a fan vote.
Jabari Parker, Milwaukee’s top rookie of a year ago, said that he enjoyed the creative process, in which he worked with New Era’s design team to create his own signature style.
“I enjoyed that a lot. I’m a creative guy”, said Parker.
Parker, Henson, Inglis and “Alphabet” (because let’s be honest, that name is a nightmare) all got their inspiration for their Bucks hat designs from different places, but the end goal for all four was the same: to produce four special designs that Bucks fans could appreciate and ultimately decide which one was best.
Along with getting NBA players involved, this New Era project also gets the fans involved. Fans obviously get to vote to help decide which hat stands tall above the rest, and of those fans that vote, five will be randomly selected to get an autographed hat by the Bucks player that designed it.
